Dietitian’s tip

This is a carb-forward, fiber-rich pocket - the lentils, eggplant, and hummus together slow digestion. Treat it as a full meal, not a side.

Dietitian’s notes

  • Lentils plus hummus make a complete plant protein, no meat needed.
  • Smear hummus inside the pita first so the filling holds together.
