Healthy sandwich ideas?

Q. I want to eat healthy, but when school comes its hard. So does anyone have healthy sandwich recipes?

Answer
I love avocado sandwiches! Slice some avocado, tomatoes, and onion put on bread sprinkle with garlic and pepper and that's it! Also eggless egg salad using crumbled tofu, vegan mayo, onions, mustard, relish, pepper, and whatever else you like. I like using tofu on sandwiches I get sprouted tofu which is already drained, etc and it's flavored and slice that up and put on sandwich with vegan mayo, lettuce, onion, tomato, avocado, sprinkle of pepper and garlic and you can add anything you like! Wraps are also great I throw in a bunch of veggies top with dressing and roll up!!

Healthy Vegatarian recipes?

Jane Doe.

Hey, does anyone know any good vegatarian recipes? Relatively easy to make, and something healthy. Anything with proteins and nutrients that vegatarians need. Also, do you know any foods that are good for vegatarians, like beans, eggs, and lentils? By the way, i'm 15, if that gives you a better idea of what i should eat.
Thank you. :)

Answer
I just made an awesome sandwich today which is super healthy AND delicious! It's inspired from a sandwich I ate at a really good Italian restaurant.

Grilled Portabella Mushroom Sandwich:

1 portabella mushroom cap, rinsed well and patted dry
1 jarred roasted red bell pepper
2 slices fresh mozzarella cheese
3 slices plum tomato (or any other ripe, red, juicy tomato)
1 tsp basil pesto
1 multi-grain baguette or roll

Marinate portabella mushroom in some olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper for 10-15 minutes. Then grill the portabella mushroom for 5 minutes on each side or until tender. Place in sandwich bread and top with roasted bell peppers and sliced mozzarella. Put in toaster oven open faced until cheese melts. Then add sliced tomato, close, and enjoy! Yummy.

If you don't like mushrooms, you can substitute them for eggplants.

For eggs, I would recommend a veggie omelet. My favorite is a Spinach omelet. I just blanch some (about 1 1/2 cups raw) spinach, drain, and squeeze dry. Then crack two eggs in a bowl and add the spinach. You can also add some feta cheese as well if you like. Then heat up some olive oil in a pan (about 1-2 tbsp, just so the omelet doesn't stick) and add your egg mixture. Cook for about 3 minutes or until you can easily flip the omelet. Cook for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute or until omelet is not runny. Serve with toasted whole-grain bread and you have a healthy delicious meal!

You can also make an easy vegetable sandwich with hummus. Just get some whole-grain pita bread, spread your favorite hummus inside, add some crumbled feta cheese, some sliced olives, cucumber, and tomato, and some romaine lettuce and you're done. This sandwich is the best to make when your in a hurry and don't have time to cook up a lunch.

For beans, you can buy a can of black beans and make a tex-mex (Mexican-inspired) salad. Just mix a 1/2 cup rinsed and drained canned black beans with chopped romaine lettuce, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped avocado, tomatoes, cucumber, red bell pepper, cooked corn kernels, and drizzle with lime-cilantro salad dressing (look for it in your grocery store or use this recipe: http://www.recipesource.com/side-dishes/dressings/00/rec0099.html). Toss to combine. Add some corn tortilla chips to it if you don't mind the extra fat and calories. =)

Hope this helped!

Answer
I love the hungry girl website
www.hungry-girl.com

But these are recipes that I have made over the years.
Spread reg or flavored hummus and veggies (fresh or sauteed) in flavored tortilla wraps (spinach, sundried tomato--Trader Joes has about 10 different kinds)
you could also add grilled chicken and veggies in wrap

Wheat pita pocket w/ stir fry- Slice pita in half add grilled or sauteed red and green peppers, onions, broccolli,
pead pods or snap peas (any veggies good for a stir fry)

Veggie Clubhouse Sandwich- 2 Slices of bread (you can use spelt if you want of whole grain) spread no fat or light cream cheese red onion, avocado, spinanch leaves, sliced English cucumbers, sliced tomato(can omit if youre worried about Salmonella) and peppers (red or yellow) add salt or pepper to taste

Roasted Vegetables
Red onion chunked, carrots cut,sweet potato, beetroot, garlic cloves toss w/ a little olive oil and rosemary roast in oven or grill

Baked apples (Tastes like apple pie)
Core Apple, Add inside of apple cinammon, splenda(nutra sweet), and a little fresh lemon juice.I usually squeeze a little lemon juice in a leave a piece of the lemon rind in so that the cinammon and splenda don't bubble over but cook in.
Place in baking dish with a little water and bake until soft. (You can add nutmeg also)

Broccoli Slaw
Buy a bag of broccolli slaw (Broccoli Wockly) add in dried
cranberries and a few cashews (no salt or raw work well)
Add in Mazerrati's light or fat free colesalw dressing

Healthy Sandwich Recipe, please help!!!!?

Billie Jea

Hey guys, Im on a diet and i go to a school that has no cafeteria which means we have to bring our own food. I usually take to school a turkey sandwhich with mayo, tomatoe and lettuce and white bread and i know it has many calories. I would like to know an easy to make sandwich recipe with not many calories and that is easy to take every where. Thank you.

P.S. Not a very hard to make sanwich, just a VERYYYYY simple sandwich with few calories, and which has fewer calories, brown or white bread? Thank you sooo much :P

Answer
First off, sandwiches are a fine food to eat if you're on a diet. They incorporate several food groups and include good nutrition. Whole grain bread is better than white bread - it has more fiber and better nutrients. If you want to cut calories, make a large half sandwich using only one piece of bread, but adding more meat and veggies. Lowfat wraps are also a good way to get lots of protein and veggies in sandwich form without too much bread.

The sandwich you're eating is perfectly healthy. Mayo is an OK condiment if used moderately. It's made with eggs and vegetable oil, and the fat in it helps to keep you full (thus preventing you from overeating and extra snacking later). Don't use more than 2 tbs.

I'm not a big mayo eater, and have lots of things I like to put on sandwich bread instead:
Mustard (try different kinds - Dijon, whole grain, spicy)
Cranberry sauce (great with turkey!)
Hummus
Pesto
Avocado (also has fat and calories but is super healthy)
Oil, vinegar and herbs
Salad dressing

You could also think about salads. They're a great meal, and easy to make the night before.

I am looking for some easy, healthy, yummy recipes. Short preparation and cook time preferred. Please keep in mind that I'm a college student that works part time and I cannot spend tons of money either. Also, I do not eat chicken or pork. I prefer to eat seafood most of the time as it is lean and healthy. I eat beef very rarely because I prefer it over iron tablets. Thanks! :)

Answer
Stir fry - Put a bunch of vegetables in the wok with a touch of oil, serve over short grain brown rice.

Soup - Boil vegetables, throw in some noodles, drop in a raw egg or some cooked beans, how about a few shrimp.

Tortillas, beans & cheese. Slice in some tomatoe and avocado.

Sandwiches - Get nice crusty bread, good cheeses, fresh tomatoes, grilled vegetables, tuna fish. Also smoked fish on bagels.

Pilaf - Rice with herbs & seasonings, mix in toasted nuts & seeds, stir in some minced broccoli, carrot or cauliflower, cook using broth for more flavor, add fresh melon on top

Thanks, as I am making an effort to maintain a healthy diet.

Answer
An excellent subsititute for butter, cheese and fatty meat is avocado. You might hear people say that it is high in saturated fat (true!), but it is still much, much better for you than other fillings, especially if you have more than one (ie butter AND cheese).

Rather than having a boring sandwich with salad and not much else, try adding avocado to chicken and salad; alfalfa sprouts, spanish onion, carrot, lettuce etc. It's nice with salt and pepper, or a light dijonaise as well, and quite healthy! A lot of lettuce seems quite bland and won't add to a sandwich, so if you can afford it, go for different varieties. Asian ones especially have quite a lot more taste than a traditional cos or iceberg.

I know it's not easy to get Vegemite etc in the States, but any of those yeast or beef extract spreads are very nice on rice-cakes with alfalfa sprouts - for some inexplicable reason, it tastes a bit like chicken! Don't make the mistake of spreading it thickly, you only need a smear. The rice cakes are quite filling, but bland. This way, you don't add heaps of fat, but you get filled up!

Another thing that might be hard to find in the States is tinned beetroot - I'm not sure if you have it at all... It's an aquired taste, but adds sweetness and freshness to sandwiches with few nutritional negatives. If you can get it, it should be tinned in its own (pink!) juices, I guess its kind of pickled...? And it is generally sliced, but you can get baby ones like this too, I think. It's not nice by itself, and will go soggy fast, so it's best in a salad sandwich, eaten straight away.

On that note, pickled things in general are probably a good way to add a lot of flavour without too much fat or salt...

For something a little unusual, you can make fillings of leftover lentil or chickpea salad (you can find recipes everywhere online), which is incredibly cheap to make. If that seems quite heavy, you can substitute traditional bread for lavash or pita bread.

And always eat a wholegrain bread - not only is it full of things you don't get in white bread, it will fill you up, and contributes a lot more to you RDI for grains.

Answer
An excellent subsititute for butter, cheese and fatty meat is avocado. You might hear people say that it is high in saturated fat (true!), but it is still much, much better for you than other fillings, especially if you have more than one (ie butter AND cheese).

Rather than having a boring sandwich with salad and not much else, try adding avocado to chicken and salad; alfalfa sprouts, spanish onion, carrot, lettuce etc. It's nice with salt and pepper, or a light dijonaise as well, and quite healthy! A lot of lettuce seems quite bland and won't add to a sandwich, so if you can afford it, go for different varieties. Asian ones especially have quite a lot more taste than a traditional cos or iceberg.

I know it's not easy to get Vegemite etc in the States, but any of those yeast or beef extract spreads are very nice on rice-cakes with alfalfa sprouts - for some inexplicable reason, it tastes a bit like chicken! Don't make the mistake of spreading it thickly, you only need a smear. The rice cakes are quite filling, but bland. This way, you don't add heaps of fat, but you get filled up!

Another thing that might be hard to find in the States is tinned beetroot - I'm not sure if you have it at all... It's an aquired taste, but adds sweetness and freshness to sandwiches with few nutritional negatives. If you can get it, it should be tinned in its own (pink!) juices, I guess its kind of pickled...? And it is generally sliced, but you can get baby ones like this too, I think. It's not nice by itself, and will go soggy fast, so it's best in a salad sandwich, eaten straight away.

On that note, pickled things in general are probably a good way to add a lot of flavour without too much fat or salt...

For something a little unusual, you can make fillings of leftover lentil or chickpea salad (you can find recipes everywhere online), which is incredibly cheap to make. If that seems quite heavy, you can substitute traditional bread for lavash or pita bread.

And always eat a wholegrain bread - not only is it full of things you don't get in white bread, it will fill you up, and contributes a lot more to you RDI for grains.

What are some simple, yummy, healthy recipes?

Q. I am looking for some easy, healthy, yummy recipes. Short preparation and cook time preferred. Please keep in mind that I'm a college student that works part time and I cannot spend tons of money either. Also, I do not eat chicken or pork. I prefer to eat seafood most of the time as it is lean and healthy. I eat beef very rarely because I prefer it over iron tablets. Thanks! :)

A. Stir fry - Put a bunch of vegetables in the wok with a touch of oil, serve over short grain brown rice.

Soup - Boil vegetables, throw in some noodles, drop in a raw egg or some cooked beans, how about a few shrimp.

Tortillas, beans & cheese. Slice in some tomatoe and avocado.

Sandwiches - Get nice crusty bread, good cheeses, fresh tomatoes, grilled vegetables, tuna fish. Also smoked fish on bagels.

Pilaf - Rice with herbs & seasonings, mix in toasted nuts & seeds, stir in some minced broccoli, carrot or cauliflower, cook using broth for more flavor, add fresh melon on top
