These are a healthier option than normal fast food—eating a lot of fast food can cause problems like weight gain.

So to cope with this problem, there is a trick you can use to eat them less.

The trick is to drink plenty of water before the meal. This way you will have a feeling of fullness, so you will eat less.

But you should also keep in mind that you should always drink pure water.

Usually, we don't get pure water at your home so we need a good quality water purifier like kent grand plus to purify such water.

If you don't have a water purifier at your home, then here is the list of best UV water purifiers. It will remove all the harmful bacteria and viruses from the water.

Souvlaki - easy healthy recipes

Souvlaki is another of our easy healthy recipes.

To serve two-four, you will need:

  • 500g of lean rump steak, OR lamb, OR chicken breast
  • 4-6 pieces of garlic chopped very finely and crushed into a paste(depending on your taste for garlic)
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tub plain Greek-style yogurt
  • 1 red capsicum chopped
  • 1 handful of lettuce
  • 1 tomato chopped
  • 1 onion chopped to cook
  • some raw onion rings to add with salad
  • 1 package of flat round sandwich wraps

Add approximately 1 cup of Greek yogurt in a bowl with the garlic paste and stir until combined.

For a really delicious, authentic flavor, cook your whole pieces of steak/lamb/chicken on the BBQ.

Then when cooked, slice thinly, and add to the bread and salad.

Also, for a different effect, you can cut your meat into chunks, and thread onto skewers like a kebab, and cook on the BBQ that way.

If you don't have a BBQ, cook your meat on a grill, or under a griller/broiler.

Heat a very small amount of oil in a pan, once it is heated, add the onion and cook for about 2 minutes.

It is also delicious with some raw onion rings.

Coat one side of the flatbread in a generous layer of garlic yogurt.

Then you can add the desired amount of onion meat, tomato, lettuce, and capsicum.

Roll up and eat—Yummy!

And there you have it! A simple alternative to a usually calorie-loaded take out meal!
