healthy and easy sandwiches for weight loss

1.Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwich

For a sandwich power packed with protein and potassium, try a peanut butter and banana sandwich. This is one of my favorite healthy and easy sandwiches because of the fiber in the bread, protein in the peanut butter and potassium in the banana. It has a natural nutty sweetness you will love! You can change it up by switching out the banana for another fruit of your choice, like an apple. Ingredients:
2 slices of whole wheat bread
½ banana sliced
½ Tablespoon of peanut butter
Directions:
Toast 2 slices of whole wheat bread, spread peanut butter across one slice of bread, lay sliced bananas across and put the other slice on top. Cut the sandwich in half and enjoy!

 

2. Tuna Fish Sandwich

For plenty of protein and a whole lot of taste, have a tuna fish sandwich! Tuna fish tastes great and it has plenty of Vitamin D. Tuna also helps lower your blood pressure, supports heart health and can aid weight loss. You can change it by alternating your tuna as either fresh or organic canned wild albacore. Ingredients:
2 slices of whole wheat bread
1 6 ounce can of organic wild albacore tuna or fresh tuna
1 teaspoon of organic light mayonnaise
¼ cup of minced celery
¼ cup minced onions
Directions:
Toast 2 slices of whole wheat bread, Combine tuna, mayonnaise, celery and onions. Spoon across sandwich and put the other slice on top. Cut the sandwich in half and enjoy this low fat, high protein treasure!

 

3. Eggplant Sandwich

For plenty of antioxidants, fiber and phytonutrients, have an eggplant sandwich! Eggplant sandwiches taste great and are loaded with cancer preventing antioxidants. You can change the sanwich  up by layering with other veggies, such as zucchini and mushrooms. Ingredients:
2 slices of whole wheat bread or 1 small 6” whole wheat wrap
1 medium globe eggplant
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/8 cup shredded mozzarella
½ sliced tomatoes
1 piece of spinach or kale
Directions:
Toast 2 slices of whole wheat bread. Using a pastry brush lightly paint olive oil on each slice of eggplant. Place eggplant on grill or in oven on a baking sheet. Cook for 5 minutes. Then lay 2 slice of eggplant, mozzarella, a slice of tomato, slice of spinach and place the other slice of whole wheat bread on top. Sit down, relax and enjoy!
