A Berry Good Tuna Mayo Pitta Lunch: The Bariatric Lunchbox Club Meal Idea 3

September 15, 2019 Leave a Comment

A pitta bread is a great and handy vehicle for stuffing with high protein tuna, lettuce and sweetcorn for a lunchbox meal. There are many variations – white, brown, wholemeal, high protein, seeded and flavoured so choose the one that suits you and your tolerability. Likewise they come in many sizes – standard will easily cope with man-sized appetites (and half will usually suffice for a WLS one), so again select the one that suits you. You may prefer to use a small or mini one (or two).

 

Likewise you can play around with  your tuna selection – there are some great handy small size can options now on sale. I like the John West 80 g/3½ oz Infusions range – the chilli and basil flavoured variations do it for me.

 

Again this recipe serves a normal non-WLS appetite (a WLS one is half that portion in most cases). When served with a honeydew melon and blackberry side dish it it’s a berry good option, and the whole thing can be prepped and packed the night before required … but I’m brambling on …

 

TUNA MAYO PITTA AND BERRIED TREASURE FRUIT SALAD

Ingredients

METRIC/US

75 g/3 oz tuna chunks in spring water, drained or 1 x 80 g/3 oz container John West Infusions tuna (I used 

2 tbsp canned sweetcorn kernels, drained

1 tbsp extra light mayonnaise

salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 pitta (I used a wholemeal pitta bread)

2 -3 tbsp shredded lettuce

50 g/2 oz honeydew melon chunks

about 8 blackberries

 

Method

  1.  Mix the tuna with the sweetcorn, mayonnaise and salt and pepper to taste.
  2.  Halve the pitta and open to make pockets. Divide the tuna between the halves and add the shredded lettuce. Wrap in foil if liked to keep intact.
  3.  To make the fruit salad, mix the melon with the blackberries in a small container. Pack alongside the pittas. Chill and store until required.
