Sarah’s Tips:

• Make it dairy-free: Use mashed avocado or a plant-based yogurt.

• Add fiber: Swap pitas for sprouted grain wraps or lettuce boats.

• Meal prep tip: Store cooked chicken and veggies separately — reheat and build when ready.

• Add crunch: Toss in shredded cabbage or sliced cucumbers for texture.
