Sandwich is one of the most versatile meals that can be prepared according to taste and health. Here’s how you can make your sandwiches both nutritious and delicious. Tips for a Healthy Sandwich Choose the Right Bread: Opt for whole-grain or multigrain bread instead of white bread. For a gluten-free option, try lettuce wraps or sweet potato slices.   Add a Protein Punch: Include lean proteins, like grilled chicken, turkey, boiled eggs, cottage cheese, or plant-based proteins like hummus, tofu, or beans.   Pile On the Veggies: Add fresh veggies like spinach, cucumber, tomatoes, bell peppers, or shredded carrots. The more colorful, the better for nutrition and appeal!   Make Healthy Spreads: Ditch calorie-laden mayonnaise for mashed avocado, Greek yogurt, mustard, or nut butter for an added dose of nutrients. Incorporate Good Fats: Add sliced avocado, a dash of olive oil, or sprouted seeds (chia and sunflower) for fats that are heart-healthy.   Harmonize Flavors: Engage sweet, salty and sour flavors with natural pairings of honey, pickles and slices of fruits.
