Whether you are trying to lose weight or eat a more balanced diet, Yia Yia's- Homemade Greek Food has something for everyone. Here are three healthy options you can order at this Greek restaurant:

• Greek Salad: It’s not surprising that the Greek salad is one of the lowest-calorie meals on the menu. Stocked with leafy greens and vegetables, Yia Yia's Greek salad comes with ripened tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, green peppers, kalamata olives, and feta cheese. Ask the cook to go easy on the feta and for dressing on the side to keep things light.

• Souvlaki: An excellent source of protein, souvlaki is a popular Greek fast food dish that consists of pork or chicken served with a pita, a side of tzatziki sauce, and your choice of lemon potatoes, french fries, or brown rice. If you really want to be healthy, ask to swap the rice or potatoes for a side salad.

• Grilled Fish: If you want a filling meal that is friendly to your waistline, opt for a whole grilled or roasted fish. Yia Yia's- Homemade Greek Food offers a delicious Santorini salmon sandwich, consisting of grilled salmon served on a pita topped with avocado and a jalapeño-infused tzatziki sauce.

Whether you order a salad, a souvlaki plate, or a gyro, following a Mediterranean diet is a great way to maintain a healthy, low-calorie lifestyle. Stop by Yia Yia's- Homemade Greek Food for a quick meal at a great price, or call (212) 452-1210 to place a to-go order today.
