Warburtons Sandwich Thins - Alternative to Sliced Bread
Hi All, Not sure if these have been highlighted, but I find they're very good. If you fancy a sandwich but are put off by the 100+ calories per slice in bread, then try these. Granted they're smaller than your average sandwich but still really good, 100 calories per 'thin' (top and bottom to the sandwich). Check them out,…
