I love making it easy to be healthy and actually enjoy food.
So here’s the thing. Tons of people love sandwiches.
But Sandwiches are really just a bunch of awesome stuff smashed together, with some filler on the top and bottom.
The good stuff is in the middle! It’s the bread that’s a waste or your time and energy. It literally makes you more tired and you have to chew longer.. so my statement is totally true.
Now if you love sandwiches and I’m bumming you out, don’t worry! All ya gotta do is take everything you love between those two slices and put it in a bowl with some greens.
Uh, yeah .. I just tricked you into eating a salad:)
But this is one way to keep your healthy meals exciting!!
Step 1. Think of your favorite Sandwich
Ex: – Reuben Sandwich = Corned beef, saurkraut, cheese (use GOAT or SHEEP)
Step 2. Take out the bread and put everything else in a bowl (leave out the mayo/dressing)
Step 3. Add a few handfuls of dark leafy veg + 1 more bright colored veg
Ex: Spinach, Chard + Red Bell Pepper
Step 4. Add one of my 4 TOP Dressing PICKS
(see a GREAT healthy thousand island below!)
