vegetarian sandwiches other than PBJ

Just made a pb&j. Yummy but I'm also looking for something different. No ideas... hope you find some!

not sure how much you like these veggies, but try a cucumber and tomato sandwhich with a little bit of hummus spread. Or you can prepare your lunches the night before and make eggplant, mushroom, onion wraps. Or my favorite, portabella mushrooms (cooked in lite soy sauce) with roasted peppers and mozz cheese topped with a little bit of balsamic.

Hummus. You can buy it more cheaply as dehydrated in the natural foods store.

Farther afield, use "last night's" split pea soup. It sets up in the frig, but keep it separate from the bread (or crackers) until lunch time.

Fried tofu (plain or with soy sauce & spices).

Egg salad.

Arnold sandwhich thins (100% whole wheat) toasted, sliced avacado, a spread of a laughing cow cheese wedge, and a bunch of alfalfa sprouts!!! yummmmmmy!!!

Cucumbers, shredded carrots, and hummus (regular or roasted red pepper). This is great on a wheat pita or wheat bread.

Brie and a sliced tart apple (great on a firm crusty bread! delicious cold, but even better grilled).

Tomato, basil, fresh mozzarella, with a little bit of seasoned olive oil.

Take whatever you'd put in a salad that's yummy to you, throw it in a wrap or lavash.

They also make vegetarian/vegan "deli meats"; not sure how good they are, but you could always go that route.

Quick ideas:
1. Hummus, shredded carrots, lettuce, and tomato
2. Bean dip, salsa, shredded lettuce
3. Tofu "egg" salad of mashed tofu, chopped onions, chopped celery, mustard, capers, etc.
4. Avocado sushi - easy to make and stays fresh for a long time
5. Tomato, lettuce, and avocado with salt, pepper, etc.
6. left over beans, rice, salsa and other Mexican toppings in a tortilla wrap.

Hope this helps!

Arugula, fontina cheese and tomatoes on a wheat baguette! So yummy!

Yeah, there are also lot's of good fake meats out that are tasty, just have to be careful as some can be quite calorific.

load up on veggies...grill some bell peppers, eggplant, onion...mmmmm

Have you ever had a peanut butter and lettuce sandwich? It sounds super weird but I have them in a pita or on a wrap all the time, its surprisingly filling, and tastes super good. I can usually put 4 or more full lettuce leaves in with 2 or so tbsp of peanut butter. Sound weird, you could always go with standard PB and banana. AND, everything tastes way better with 3 minutes in the G.Foreman, and burns the sugars off your bread...or so I've heard

I like to use the Mission Carb Control tortillas and then mash up avocado and lettuce, cheese -- whatever you want (could even use black beans?) and roll them up. I wrap them in foil the night before and they make a great lunch.

I like a triangle of laughing cow cheese, with sliced tomato on top.

Sometimes I use Brocolli Slaw, shake it with a dressing, and wrap it up with some cheese or peppers.

Yum, I love sliced cucumbers, sliced red peppers, sliced eggplant(roasted is even better) slice of good cheese is a perk, but you could also add avocado or tomatoe or red onion or sprouts....even sliced mushrooms. YUM

Sprouts, hummus, sliced tomato, avocado, arugula or baby spinach.
Spicy tofu with mild greens and avocado.
Grilled or roasted red peppers/yellow squash/eggplant (all three together is good, too), goat cheese or feta, avocado or hummus, sundried tomatoes, fresh greens.
Almond butter, banana, and honey.
Grilled mushrooms and onions with pesto spread, avocado, lots of spinach, cheese.
This is before we even bring in veggie patties, falafel, textured vegetarian protein(best sloppy joes ever happen with textured vegetarian protein).
Also, if I want more crunch in any of these I add pickles, cucumbers, shredded carrots or slivered radishes.

I would say that the most important aspect of a balanced vegetarian sandwich is getting the right amount of protein. I use Ezekial or Trader Joe's California Style Complete Protein bread, so I'm getting about 10 grams of protein right off the bat. If you want somethign lighter, whole wheat sandwich thins and bagel thins provide about 5 grams each.
