That Time I Ate Cold Pizza for a Week (And These Pockets Saved My Gut)

True story: Last month, I meal-prepped a giant lasagna…then ate it for six days straight. By day 3, I was dreaming of lettuce. Then I discovered Veggie-Stuffed Pita Pockets. Crispy cucumbers, creamy avocado, and a schmear of hummus later, I felt like a functional human again. My partner said, “Is this…healthy?” I replied, “Shhh, just eat it.”

Ingredients You Already Own (Or Can Steal From Your Roommate)

No fancy grocery runs. Raid your kitchen like a raccoon with a mission:

4 pita breads 🥙 (Whole wheat, gluten-free, or the ones that’ve been in your freezer since 2022.)
1 cup hummus 🧆 (Store-bought. Homemade hummus is for overachievers.)
1 cucumber 🥒 (Sliced into coins. Or spears. Chaotic chopping encouraged.)
1 bell pepper 🌶️ (Red, yellow, or green—color = ✨nutrition✨.)
1 avocado 🥑 (Sliced. RIP if it’s still rock-hard.)
Handful of spinach or lettuce 🌿 (The “I’m an adult” greenery.)
1/4 cup feta or goat cheese 🧀 (Optional, but cheese = joy.)
Optional chaos add-ons:
- Pickled onions 🧅 (For tangy drama.)
- Shredded carrots 🥕 (Crunchy confetti.)
- Hot sauce 🌶️ (For people who like to ~feel alive~.)

Step-by-Step Guide (For People Who Can’t Even Boil Water)

No chef skills needed. If I can make these while explaining memes to my mom, so can you.

1. Warm the pita (optional but genius):

Microwave pitas for 10 seconds or toast lightly. Warm pita = cozy pocket.

2. Slice and dice:

Chop veggies into bite-sized pieces. No ruler needed—rustic is a vibe.

3. Schmear the base:

Spread hummus inside each pita like you’re frosting a cake. *Lick the spoon. We all do it.

4. Stuff like a pro:

Layer veggies, avocado, greens, and cheese into each pocket. Pack it like a suitcase—no wasted space!

5. Sauce it up:

Drizzle with hot sauce, tahini, or ~existential dread~ (just kidding—use ranch).

6. Eat like a champion:

Fold, bite, repeat. *Napkin optional. Pride optional.

Pro Tips (From Someone Who’s Dropped a Pita Down Their Shirt)

Prevent sogginess: Pat veggies dry. Wet spinach = sad pocket.
Avocado hack: Squeeze lemon juice on slices to delay browning. Science!
Meal prep MVP: Prep veggies + hummus in containers. Assemble daily. Freshness = key.
Veganize it: Skip the cheese or use dairy-free feta. Plants rule.
