Looking for new sandwich ideas

One of my favorites from the Clean Eating Diet by Tosca Reno that I change is:

-your bread-
peanut butter (I prefer almond)
sliced apples

I also like to add a drizzle of honey.

you can substitute the apples with strawberries or bananas, but the apples won't make your sandwich soggy by lunch.

I recommend a sweet apple since the saltiness of the nut butter really makes this a deliciousness delight.

Want to make it crazy? Substitue Nutella for the nut butter. No need for a honey drizzle.

pulled pork lettuce wraps sound good to me right now

flatout light Italian wrap, extra lean sweet ham, lettuce, tomato, Hungarian wax pepper, and an ever so slight drizzle of Pecorino dressing.

I also keep a stash of luna protein or larabar alt in my desk.

Have you tried making salads with things other than just plain veggies? I make some salads (like a Lentil-Ham Salad w/Dijon Cream Sauce) that combine veggies with lots of fiber and proteins. They are pretty dense and filling.

If you would be interested:

Lentil-Ham Salad w/Dijon Cream Sauce

1 cup dried brown lentils
10 oz chopped cooked ham
3/4 cup chopped celery
3/4 cup chopped red onion
1/2 cup plain fat-free greek yogurt
2 TBS dijon mustard
1 TBS white wine vinegar
2 TBS fat-free milk
1/4 tsp dried thyme
1/4 tsp ground black pepper

Cook lentils for about 20 minutes and drain. Mix ingredients 5-10 and whisk together to make a creamy dressing. Add lentils, ham and veggies and mix well. Makes 4 servings, 288 cals each. Can be eaten warm or cold.

I usually eat this salad with an apple for lunch, and keeps me full for hours.

This sounds good!

Brown rice salad would also be good I imagine. Or wholewheat couscous with tons of roasted veg and some feta cheese.

Or how about a wrap? Mexican chicken with peppers, shredded pork or beef with mushrooms and greens... Endless possibilities!!

Just a note...you should probably limit deli meat intake to once a week. It's pretty bad for you to have too much.

Curried shrimp salad, chicken salad, Roast beef and gouda, salmon salad, eggs and bacon egg salad, garbanzo bean & yogurt with olive oil with cucumbers

yum

Buy large low-carb tortillas and make wrap/burritos, instead of sandwiches. I like chicken breast and black bean, with a little jalapeno in it.

I copy one of Corner Bakery's sandwiches at home:

Small soft sandwich roll

Add....

Roasted, sliced red peppers

Couple slices off a ball of fresh mozzerella

Baby arugula

Small amount of basil or pesto

Dash of balsamic.

I've even added some rotisserie chicken for extra protein.

I have a pinterest board of just sandwiches, I get bored easy

there are tons of ideas on here.

I don't do sandwiches alot but I have a couple of vegetarian sandwich options in case you get sick of lunch meat.

-tomato slices, fresh mozzarella, basil on toast (i like to put it on baguette bread too)
-thin sliced dark rye with cucumber slices and low fat cream cheese or greek yogurt mixed with dill and garlic powder
-diced cucumber, tomato, avocado, and sprouts on wheat or rye with that same cream cheese mixture.

You can also do a "leftovers sandwich". I like to do this with leftover baked chicken and veggies or a beef roast. Just watch your portions!

I also like to pack tacos for lunch. If you have a microwave they are great to break up the sandwich boredom - small corn tortillas (im talking real small, taco size/6"), some lean protein - I like bison or fish, and tons of veggies! I use plain greek yogurt in place of sour cream and usually skip the cheese.

How about a wrap with lots of diced lean chicken breast, chilli sauce, lettuce, tomato and sweetcorn?

Or a wholemeal bagel with mashed avocado, lemon juice, walnuts, roquette or mizuna leaf, tomatoes and if you need extra protein a piece of parma ham.

Try a classic wholemeal bagel with low fat cream cheese, smoked salmon, lemon juice and pepper.

Wrap with meatballs, spicy tomato sauce (make double portions when you cook and save some for lunches.)

Filo pastry is low fat. Add fat reduced feta, spinach, red onion, sun dried tomato slivers and roll up and bake.

Pitta bread stuffed with salad, reduced fat humous and baked falafels with chilli sauce.
