Toasted Pita Chips with Yoghurt Mint Dip

Quick Study Snack

When you are working long hours it is really important to snack and eat often, otherwise you wll run low on energy and your brain will not be able to function properly.  But when you are on the go it doesn't mean that you need to eat unhealthy or substitute freshness for unsatisfying quick fixes.  This snack is tasty and has great nutritional content. Warning! This is very garlicky :)





Ingredients:

This recipe was adapted from fitnessmagazine.com

8 dollops of low fat plain yoghurt,  1 handful of finely chopped fresh mint, 1 tsps lemon juice, 1/4 tsp black pepper, 1 minced or finely chopped garlic clove, 1 large pita bread, 2 tsps olive oil.

Method:

1. Stir in a bowl yoghurt, mint, lemon juice, black pepper and half of the garlic. (This can be chilled for up to 8 hours.)
2. Cut the pita bread into wedges and drizzle with oil and the rest of the garlic.
3. Bake for 15 - 20 minutes at 350 degrees until pita is crispy and browned.
4. Eat with the dip.


Saffy's Top Tip

You can substitute the bread for vegetables such as raw carrots.
