Beef souvlaki with wholemeal pitta
Substantial beef souvlaki with wholemeal pitta fits within the carbs of Phase 3.
Beef souvlaki with wholemeal pitta is a hearty, satisfying grill classic. The lean beef marinates in olive oil, cumin and garlic and gets a pink centre with a spiced crust over high heat. Served in a warm wholemeal pitta with fresh rocket and juicy tomato, this becomes a complete and substantial protein-rich dish.
In Phase 3 of your protein diet, there's room for more whole carbohydrates, and this souvlaki makes smart use of that. With roughly 39 grammes of protein from the beef, you're laying down a solid protein foundation, whilst the wholemeal pitta provides slow, fibre-rich carbs that release your energy gradually. That balance between plenty of protein and wholemeal carbohydrates keeps you full for longer and supports your muscle recovery.
Lovely with a dollop of tzatziki, some grilled onion or a fresh tomato and cucumber salad on the side. That way you create a filling Mediterranean plate that fits perfectly within your protein diet.
