For me, when it comes to shedding pounds, grabbing my Nikes and going to the gym, or popping in the P90X into my DVD player, is the easy part. It’s what I choose to eat that can sometimes be difficult.
I do allow myself the occasional slice of pizza or extra helping of collards, but constantly eating healthy food (or drinking my meals) can get boring. I’m so glad there are restaurants like Pita Pit to shake things up.
A healthy alternative to a traditional sandwich, Pita Pit offers a wide variety of fresh options tucked neatly in pita bread that leaves you satisfied without regret.
I like a little protein in my diet, so I typically opt for a meat pita. The turkey pita is always a good way to go, but the restaurant also offers other choices such as the Dagwood made with turkey, ham and prime rib; tuna; or the chicken Souvlaki made with Greek seasoned chicken.
If you want to lay off the meat, Pita Pit has several veggie pitas such as the falafel with spiced chickpeas, hummus, spicy black bean and cheese.
The best part about the Pita Pit is that you can customize your order however you like it with toppings, cheeses and sauces. If you like your pita with cucumbers or pepperonchinis – you got it. Want to add tzatziki sauce – no problem.
Pita Pit has several beverage options, but if you’re really feeling like a healthy boost, order a smoothie in one of four flavors. The Mango Tango (vanilla frozen yogurt, mango juice, strawberries and mangos) sounds delish!
Want something different to eat in the morning? Well, Pita Pit offers breakfast pitas. Wake up with the Morning Glory, scrambled eggs, avocados, sautéed tomatoes, hash browns, grilled peppers and onions and your choice of cheese and sauce. Since breakfast pitas are served any time, you can have the Sausage Scramble with eggs, Italian sausage, hash browns, peppers, onions and cheese for lunch or dinner.
Kids can even eat healthy at Pita Pit with three kid-sized pita options such as turkey, ham or cheese. Pita Pit also offers platters for large events.
I’ve never been a hard-core calorie counter, but what also makes Pita Pit so awesome is that on its website, you can build your own pita and have the nutritional value added up for you.
Whether you’re trying to maintain your physique for the summer or have recently received instructions from your doctor to eat healthier, Pita Pit is a good place to go. It’s a nice break from a boring sandwich or sub and has something for everyone to enjoy.
