Use this sandwich recipe as a general template when creating quick, healthy, filling sandwiches for lunch (or dinner!)
Start with toasted bread. You can get it fresh from the bakery or purchase at the grocery store. Our favorite brand is Mestemacher Organic Rye Bread. You could also try Pumpernickel if you prefer.
Add avocado and vegetables (whichever are your favorites) to add nutrition to your sandwich and top it off with a protein.
You can bake chicken or salmon (or any other fish) yourself in 20 minutes and add it to the sandwich. Otherwise, you can get prepared meats or canned salmon/sardines (always choose wild and organic) at the store.
Try different combinations to keep variety in your diet.
