Flat Belly Recipe: Low Fat Hi Pro Egg Salad Pita

Hopefully, the similarities I share with Pee Wee Herman are limited. But because my kids love the movie "Big Top Pee Wee", I know we share an appreciation for at least two things:

1. Egg salad sandwiches

2. Valeria Golina

But let's focus on the food for now.

My variation on this classic, as you might expect, has some important modifications. This recipe combines several of my favorite elements:

Healthy

Super quick

Dirt cheap

Yummy

And it's ridiculously simple. Just mash up four egg whites (I slice them with a steak knife and then smash the shreds with a fork) and then add some hummus (my favorites are roasted garlic and tomato basil flavors) to get a nice firm but moist glop. Take a whole wheat pita and slip in fresh spinach leaves and maybe some thinly sliced ripe Roma tomatoes. Then stuff in the egg mixture.

That's going to give you about 25-30g of high-quality protein at a fraction of the calories of typical egg salad, with all the fat coming from a heart-healthy source.

Try and beat that.
