Tips for Making Healthy Sandwiches

  • Opt for whole-grain or low-carb bread: Whole-grain bread offers more fiber, while low-carb bread can help reduce your carb intake for a lighter sandwich.

  • Use healthy spreads: Instead of regular mayo, try using hummus, Greek yogurt, mustard, or mashed avocado.

  • Add more veggies: Include spinach, cucumbers, bell peppers, and other fresh vegetables to boost the fiber and nutrient content.

  • Protein is key: Lean meats like turkey or chicken, or plant-based proteins like hummus or tofu, make your sandwich more filling and nutritious.

  • Don’t overfill: Keeping the sandwich balanced with just the right amount of ingredients prevents overloading on calories.
