1. Breakfast Wheat Pita Pizza
Pizza for breakfast? Who wouldn’t say yes to that? With cheese, bacon, eggs, and spinach, this is a healthy breakfast pizza to start your day. The best part is you don’t have to make the dough from scratch first thing in the morning.
Just grab your pre-homemade or leftover store-bought pita bread, spread all the toppings on it, and bake it in the oven till you have a crispy ‘crust.’ Voila, your no-mess, healthy breakfast pizza is ready to be devoured.
You can make this pizza with any toppings of your choice. From chicken to veggies to fruits, you can alter the recipe to make it as healthy as you want for your kids. If you are craving something sweet, try fruits as a topping, and we promise you won’t regret it.
2. Homemade Hummus with Spiced Pita Chips
There is no match for warm pita bread dipped in hummus. However, spicy pita chips with hummus are a close second. If your kids aren’t big fans of hummus (very unlikely, but there are always exceptions), they can snack on the chips. These homemade spiced pita chips are way healthier than store-bought chips or other fatty, preservative-laden snacks.
3. Chicken Fajita Pita
This dish will be packed with Middle Eastern flavors. Simply stuff fajitas, a delectable mix of chicken, onions, bell peppers (of all colors), and some fajita seasoning, in the pita pockets for a lip-smacking meal. Your kids will love the new flavors and surely go for a second serving.
4. Gyros
Gyros is a Mediterranean classic, but you can master making gyro meat. The dish is made with baked lamb sliced thinly and laid on pita bread with tzatziki, sliced onions, and tomatoes. You can even use them as a filling for pita pockets.
5. Pita Pinwheels
Chopped carrots, ham, turkey, and herbed cream cheese are layered on pita bread, which is then cut into pinwheel shapes for an easy grab-and-go meal for those busy days. This pita bread recipe is also a great lunch idea for kids. Moreover, you can make them a day before, store them in an airtight container, heat them the next day, and have them with a sauce or a dip for your lunch/dinner.
6. Pita Quesadillas
Mamas, if your partner or kids are quesadilla lovers, you must try this version. This pita bread recipe can be served as a finger food, side dish, or appetizer at any time of the day.
