Looking for a savory hump day lunch idea that will give you a boost so you can power through your week? These spinach hummus pitas might be exactly what you’re looking for. The combination of energy-revving, fiber-filled whole wheat pitas combined with the avocado (the healthy fat in the avocado extends the energy boost from the pita and)makes this lunch not only creamy and delicious, but very healthy! Adding raw onions or chilled sauerkraut on top will give this meal the perfect crunch.

2-3 handfuls baby spinach

2-5 Tbsp water1/2 avocado, chopped into large cubes

3 pitas, sliced in half and toasted
