How to make healthier Greek gyros!

[knicks_fan87]

Healthy Greek gyros are really good to make if you're trying to be a bit more careful of what you eat. In my opinion, chicken souvlaki made with chicken breast is going to be a healthier option. When youre cooking it at home, I recommend using a bit less oil and marinating the chicken in fat free Greek yogurt and spices. If you like, you can also use whole wheat pita bread, this is slightly healthier and will also help regulate your blood sugar a bit more. In terms of the toppings, all of them are pretty healthy. You can opt out of the French fries or put a bit less if youre trying to eat less carbohydrates. Let me know what you think of these tips!

A friend f mine makes her own gyro meat, which cuts down on the salt and some of the fat while still retaining the same general flavor. I also try to put more of the veggies in there than normal!

This sounds like a delicious recipe! I like making gyros at home with chicken, as well. I marinate my chicken in a ladolemono dressing (oil and lemon with oregano, garlic, salt, pepper).
