I’ve kind of become obsessed with the Aussie Fitness protein pockets. The base of it is very simple; 800g of plain flour, 800g of plain Greek yogurt, a tsp of baking powder, then whatever seasonings you want in the dough. Mix it up, knead it, then divide evenly. Aussie Fitness, the account I got this from, divides this into 12 pockets, but I do 20 to make them last longer and lower calories. After that, just add your fillings. So far I’ve done pizza, breakfast, and bbq chicken pockets, and now I’m going buffalo chicken. 20g fat free mozzarella in each and 2lbs of chicken breast shredded with about a cup of buffalo sauce divided evenly between each one. Pinch the sides together, then fry in a covered pan. Each one of these is 210 calories and 20g of protein, so perfect for an easy midday snack. They’re a bit labor intensive, so not the easiest prep, but they’re still tasty. If y’all have any suggestions for what else I could throw in there, please let me know since I’m starting to run out

Looks delicious. I bet a philly cheese steak version of this would be amazing too. Do you freeze these? How do you reheat?
Yum! Maybe try butter chicken or keema (ground beef w indian spices) as a filling next
Bulgogi, I do a bulgogi marinade with ground turkey to keep things light. I can post my recipe if you’d like! But any meat with bulgogi marinade !
Shit man, I need this.
I bet these would be amazing in an air fryer
