Snack on This

Pita Bread! When I was a kid pita bread was considered "ethnic" food, nowadays it is incredibly common and affordable and good for you. With many whole grain varieties you can have a healthy option for sandwiches or snacks.

Pita bread is low in fat and lower in carbohydrates than many other breads, it isn't as filling and goes well with many fillings.

I like to cut mine up into little wedges and toast it with a little sea salt or cinnamon sugar as a snack. These pita chips hold up well to hummus or guacamole and make a great accompaniment to soups, stews or chili.

In a pinch pre-packaged pita chips work well too, but you cannot control the sodium or toppings that way. If you have the time make your own, it is cheaper too!
