I love bread that is loaded with whole wheat and seeds. It is comforting and delicious! But, have you noticed that our culture has demonized bread? We have crucified gluten and limited carbs-making bread public enemy number one! And it’s almost impossible to have a healthy, natural relationship with food when the “food police” is inaccurately translating your food choices into moral character. The food police keeps you in the diet mentality rather than freeing you to eat according to your internal cues. You are not “good” for choosing a salad, and you are not “bad” for eating a sandwich. But, truthfully, all bread is not created equal. The highly processed bread is commercial and unrefined. And there are no nutritional benefits. On the other hand, bread made of rye, spelt, sourdough or wholemeal are key ingredients to a healthy loaf. As I strongly believe in the importance of a balanced diet, here are some of my favorites for making a delicious sandwich:
I love my eggs and I love my avocado! And the combo is fantastic! Click here for a great sandwich!
What about tuna? A great combo is red onion and kalamata olive with tuna stuffed into a pita. Click here for the recipe.
I love hummus and you can take it anywhere! Click here for a great way to add it to your sandwich!
For the meat eater why not try a roast beef sandwich. Click here for an easy recipe.
