New Sandwich Recipes!

If you are really trying hard to stay on a strict healthy diet, then you are probably eating mostly turkey, ham and tuna sandwiches with mustard and or lf mayo. 

If you are a sandwich lover these are great sandwiches but.....well let's face it they get boring!

Anyone out there have any other lf sandwiches they like?

Peanut Butter and Jelly- If you cut the serving of lf peanut butter in half and only have a half sandwich you can still indulge in this occasionally (my fav comfort food)

Greek Wrap- One wrap, hummus, lettuce, chopped tomatoes and lf fetta cheese (cut cheese serving in half)

I like peanut butter too.  I actually try to have 1 T a day (because a serving of nuts every day is good for you).  Try the natural/no salt added kind.  If you need to make it stretch more over the bread without eating more PB, you can mix the PB with a light margarine spread to make it more satisfying without adding too many more calories.

I like a whole wheat pita stuffed with hummus and shredded veggies.  I had a fish wrap this week - a nice fillet of fish with crispy shredded lettuce and peppers, in a salsa flavored wrap - yummy and 360 calories.  I like a veggie sub made at home - shredded veggies, thin sliced tomatoes, bean dip and hot sauce, on a whole wheat roll - about 300 calories, mostly from the roll.  I can also do this on a soy,wheat and flax tortilla which is only 90 calories.

i had a sandwich tonight that i think will work it's way into my sandwich rotation... a fried egg (no oil, just a great non-stick griddle!), a slice of deli sliced ham, and a slice of low-fat cheese all stuffed into my no-fat low carb whole wheat pita!! so YUMMY!

i never liked sandwiches much until i went to italy and ate paninis... i make them all the time now... we have sandwiches/paninis at least twice a week!

oh, so for a panini, i buy small ciabattas, cut them in half, and before grilling them i put a slice of cheese, some turkey or ham, a handful of arugula, and carmelized onions inside! so delish! i do carmelize the onions in butter, but i think there must be an alternative if you can't have the butter...

I like this Pita BLAT (Bacon, Lettuce, Avacado, Tomato) check it out!

im a peanut butter LOVER.  i eat 1 tbsp on a rice cake or white chedder rice cake.  its also nice for dessert spread on half a banana, then microwaved for just a few seconds, or on apple slices for a protien kick snack mid afternoon.

Banana. :) Thats it. Of course, its nice with PB or honey, but toast it up plain, and you wont miss it (much)

Watercress sandwich with mayo.  (my fav)

Cucumber sandwich on lightly buttered bread with the crusts cut off and then sliced into 4 squares.

Two thin slices wholemeal, salmon/tuna, 1 ewdge laughing cow light, slices of tomato. Toast until cheese is melty. yumness
