Sandwich Recipes to make for lunch!

September 22, 2022 By Kiana 4 Comments

To me, sandwiches are nature’s perfect food. They’re handheld, easy to change up and fun to eat. They’re perfect for work and school lunches and, if you get a little gourmet, can be paired with a side salad or some fries for dinner! Because sandwiches are the perfect meal, we’ve included some healthy sandwich recipes to make for lunch, your family, or whenever you just need a feel-good, easy-to-put-together meal. 

Sandwich-2-OPT

How I love you, sandwich, let me count the ways… Sandwiches are the perfect balanced meal – grains, protein, veggies, and healthy fats (if you use an olive-or avocado-oil based mayo); they can also be made into dessert (fried peanut butter and cinnamon-coated banana sandwich with maple syrup drizzled on top, anyone?). For days when you need to pack a quick, satisfying lunch, or just want something filling to eat, we’ve got you covered with these sandwich recipes!
