Vegan Pitas (Healthy and Kid-Friendly!)
"Pita sandwiches full of your favorite fruit and veggies! My kids love these! This is such a versatile meal as you can use your own favorite fruit/veggies and change the amounts according to your taste. I add veggie chicken to this for the protein.
This is fool-proof and kid friendly!"

ingredients
- 2 loaves whole wheat pita bread (I like Toufayan Bakeries)
- 10 grapes (cut in half or diced, depending on size)
- 1⁄2 apple, diced
- 1⁄2 cucumber, diced
- 1⁄4 cup nuts, i like mine chopped
- 1⁄4 cup raisins
- 1⁄8 cup sunflower seeds
- 1 stalk celery, diced
- 2 cups lettuce
- 2 cups Baby Spinach, fresh uncooked
- 2 Morningstar Farms grillers, chik'n veggie patties
- 1⁄4 - 1⁄2 cup vegan mayonnaise (I like Veganaise)
directions
- Cook veggie chicken patties (I use the microwave for about two minutes to two and a half minutes for two patties.) Set aside to cool.
- Dice all vegetables, fruit, and veg chicken patties according to how chunky you want your sandwich and place in a big bowl.
- Add veganise to the veggies and fruit and mix well. (I usually leave the lettuce and spinach out of the veganaise mix.).
- Slice the pita bread into halves to make 4 pockets.
- Warm the bread slightly. This seems to make it a little more elastic when stuffing it. I find about 15-25 seconds in the microwave does the trick.
- Put chopped lettuce and spinach in the bottom. Add the veggie/fruit mix to the pita pockets and top off with a little more lettuce and spinach.
