Avocado and hummus on wholemeal pitta

METHOD

1. Toast the pitta bread for a couple of minutes to warm it up.

2. Slit the top of each pitta pocket but take care as very hot steam may escape when you do this. Spread the bread with a tablespoon of hummus and drizzle with about 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil.

3. Add the chopped avocado and washed spinach and close pitta pocket.

4. If you are not going to eat the pitta immediately, add a few drops of lemon juice to the avocado to stop it from browning.
Oats are very high in fibre and they help lower cholesterol.

VARIANTS

For babies under 12 months and children not keen on spinach, try finely chopping the spinach and mixing it with the mashed avocado, hummus and olive oil before spreading the mix on the pitta bread.

If your child finds pitta bread a bit hard to chew, soft wholemeal or brown bread is a good option.
Try other wholemeal flat breads such as wraps or tortillas but ensure they do NOT contain harmful hydrogenated fats.
Gluten-free bread or rice cakes/oat cakes could be used if gluten/wheat intolerant.
