Healthy Choices

Good news….you can build your own sandwich!
Healthy sandwich picks:

  • Whole grain bread
  • Mustard
  • Any fresh veggie available
  • Turkey breast
  • Lean ham
  • Roast beef
  • Avocado (ask for 3 or 4 slices)
  • Pickles & pepperocinis
  • Hummus

Tips

  • Ask for only one slice of cheese or light cheese.
  • Specify how much meat you would like added- and aim for about 2-3 oz.
  • Only choose salads such as tuna salad if they are specified as low-fat.
  • Vegetarian doesn’t always mean healthy!  Many vegetarian sandwiches are loaded with cream cheese, cheese and avocado or mayo.  A better bet: a little avocado, hummus and lots of fresh veggies!
  • Pair sandwiches with low-fat sides such as fruit salad, green salad, broth based soup or baked chips.
  • Ask for sliced bread instead of rolls to keep portion size down or save half for tomorrow.
