7 Healthy Sandwich Ideas for Lunch

Nowadays, a sandwich is a popular snack. It’s nutritious, simple and quick to make. There is one problem – sandwiches are not very healthy food, and for those who keep their figure sandwiches are not the best choice – there are too many calories.

But these are all prejudices. A sandwich may be healthy and low-cal. Nobody forces you to make it only with peanut butter. You can replace this unhealthy filling with a lot of greens and boiled chicken breast. Add to this whole-grain bread and here you go – a healthy sandwich is ready. You can eat it for breakfast or take it in the office as lunch.

We don’t recommend continuously eating sandwiches. Our body needs a full lunch or dinner at least once a day.

What Can You Put in a Healthy Sandwich?

Choose the most healthy bread
Not all bread is equally healthy, but you can almost always choose a healthier option. Look not at the caloric content of the product – it is about the same in most varieties, but at the ingredients. Ideally, if the bread for the sandwich is made of whole-grain flour. It is good if it has seeds, sprouted grains, nuts and bran – all together this gives hope that bread will not provoke sharp spikes in blood sugar levels and, in addition to energy, will give the body some more vitamins, fiber and healthy fats. But the main thing is to make sure that the list of ingredients of the bread you like does not include sweeteners – sugar in the sandwich is definitely not necessary.

If you are seriously thinking about the calorie content of the sandwich, choose not the usual bread, but thin whole-grain pita bread, crispbread. Or use salad leaves instead of pitas.

Add vegetables
Do not skimp on greens and thinly sliced vegetables: in order for a sandwich to be considered healthy, there should be at least twice as many plants in it as cheese, meat or seafood. Firstly, it will improve protein absorption due to the high fiber content in vegetables. Secondly, it will add volume to your sandwich, and visually it will seem bigger, more satisfying and more appetizing.

Take a look at sauces in a new way
To make a sandwich juicy and tender, it is not necessary to use butter, mayonnaise or ketchup. A delicate texture will help to create a puree of avocado or green peas, Dijon mustard or hummus. However, if the energy value of a snack plays an important role for you, go back to vegetables. Perhaps a juicy slice of tomato or radish will allow you to do without sauce at all.
