What to eat with a sandwich!?

mvexplorer

Hi! I am looking for side dish ideas to eat with sandwiches that are not chips! All I can think of is veggies with hummus or ranch, side salad, or fruit. Anyone have a go to side for lunches? I like to have something with my sandwich or I don't feel satisfied.

I try soups. Make me feel more satisfied, and warm!

Soup is good. Baked chips. pretzels?

I made fresh pickles the other day- makes a nice, sweetish add to my lunch boxes.

yogurt, cottage cheese, soup, almonds.

Quest chips? Typically I have soup or raw carrots.

mkakids

Fruit, veggies, salad, nuts, etc..

Linvala

Sliced cucumber or carrots.
A nice salad
Cottage cheese
I love having tomato soup along with sandwiches

Soup, hummus with pita chips (still technically chips and when you add the hummus, not so low calorie), or honestly, just a bigger sandwich. I started putting extra meat on my sandwich, sneaking one or two of my husband's chips, and finding that is sufficient for me.

I tend not to have a side with my sandwich, except for occasionally soup, if the soup in under 150 calories. I try to up the protein content of the sandwich by adding extra meat, which makes it more filling. Or you can use a heartier bread, such as Arnold's or Pepperidge Farms, which will also help you fill up.

I like to just load up the sandwich...don't need a side...that's the beauty of a sandwich. Certain sandwiches like grilled cheese are begging for a cup of tomato soup to go along with it.

For me it's usually baby carrots, string cheese, and almonds. Though I might add a kiwi or some strawberries to the side. Today it was Greek yogurt instead of my usual sides.

I got to have something crunchy. My choice pretzels, carrots or pita chips with Hummus. Of, course portion size.

Eat a bigger sammich and forget the side.

otherwise I do sliced veggies.

Another vote for baby carrots and peppers here. Or I like to do a salad with kidney and ga rbanzo beans with oil and vinegar. But I find that if I load a ton of vegetables in a Flat Out or tortilla, I don't need a side.

I like mixing Hidden Valley Ranch Mix into 2% Fage plain yogurt. Dip away with fresh peppers, carrots, broccoli and cauliflower.
I also really like pickled eggs with red beets.

I just ate lunch. It was a pb2&jelly sandwich and a half cup of trail mix.

Bought those a couple weeks ago, they weren't as yummy as I had hoped. Just tasted like BBQ. Their Salt and Vinegar however, my family is obsessed with.

If I was going to have a side, I'd probably have a cuppa-soup or vegie sticks with a bit of dip.

Make your sandwich more robust so you don't need a side...or Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, string cheese, etc?

jessieleah

I used stove popped popcorn for a long time.

squeakyrobot

Greek yogurt, string cheese, yogurt covered raisins, a serving (or half a serving) of almonds?

arditarose

Soup, kale with tomato and olive oil. Or just a bigger sandwich.

Thanks for the suggestions. I had some soup with my sandwich for dinner! It is completely a mental thing for me. I know I can be full with the sandwich alone, but it just doesn't feel complete if I don't have at least something on the side. I am not someone who can feel satisfied with six little meals. Even eating the same total daily calories, somehow I feel deprived eating that way. I prefer to eat three larger ones.

So eat 3 larger meals. You don't have to eat 6 small ones. People eat two, or even one meal a day and are successful. Meal timing and size is a matter of preference.

I just eat a bigger sandwich. Jimmy Johns is my favorite place to get a sammich.

I like celery and almond butter to go with a sandwich.

A side of cottage cheese will bump up your protein intake and keep you satisfied long (yogurt would work too - Oikos Key Lime is fantastic)

A sandwich will not go down my throat without something crunchy and salty on the side. Veggie chips!

Many things you can take with sandwich like omelette, boiled egg, salad of different types, soup, any lightly prepared vegetable etc.
