Eating Sandwiches the Right and Healthy Way

Sandwiches are among the favourite snacks and of many people. This food comprises of usually two pieces of bread which have been piled together with a spread in the middle. Other times, they can comprise of foods such as ham, chicken or even tuna. Here are some more tips on how you can make your snack healthier.

Choosing the right bread is the first thing you have to consider. There are a lot of choices in the grocery store. Wheat bread with high fiber is normally the best to choose if you want to eat healthy. But there is also a technique on how you can make your snack contain a lower calorie. One tip is to slice the bread in half in the usual way. This will slightly cover the meat and cheese inside. Another option is to slice the bread in half by its width which will make the bread's slice thicker. This helps lose the weight because it makes you eat one sandwich instead of two.

Wheat Bread

The next thing to be considered is the filling, in this case, the vegetables need to be heavy. Staple vegetables that are normally found in sandwiches are tomatoes, lettuce, green peppers, spinach, cucumbers, and onions. But if you prefer to add in more vegetables, then that's no problem. After that, there should be a flavouring that will add to the taste of the sandwich. Examples of these are mustard and mayonnaise. If you're watching out for your weight, choose a fat free mayonnaise.

Lastly, the meat can be added. The goal in doing this is to be healthier, so it is important to remember that less is more. Advisable meats are salami, chicken, tuna, pepperoni, or ham. To add flavour to your sandwich, you can also add in potato chips on the side. But it is important to watch the amount you put in. If you're a big fan of potato chips, you can opt for baked chips that contain less calories and fats. They taste just like the regular ones but with lesser grease.

Soda should be avoided and opt for water or a fruit juice instead. By eating this every day, you can control what you eat and in return, be rewarded with a longer and healthier life.

Healthy Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches

Growing up we all ate Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches, and we all loved them. The only problem with the sandwiches we ate was that they were made with:

1. White Bread - Eating white flour is similar to eating white sugar

Wheat Bread

2. Peanut Butter - High in sugar

3. Jelly - High in sugar

Below, I have a Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich recipe that is healthier than the one Mom used to make and still tasty. It's also relatively inexpensive.

Recipe:

Ingredients:

---2 slices of Nature's Own 100% Whole Wheat Bread, or your favorite stone-ground whole wheat bread.

---1 tablespoon of Smucker's Reduced Fat Creamy Peanut Butter, or your favorite natural peanut butter.

---1 tablespoon of Smucker's Low Sugar Grape Jelly, or your favorite low sugar jelly.

Instructions:

1. Spread peanut butter on one slice of bread

2. Spread jelly on other slice of bread

3. Combine the two slices

Facts:

---Cost per serving: 43 cents

---Calories per serving: 225 calories

---Protein per serving: 12.5 grams

---Carbohydrate grams: 32 grams

---Fat grams: 8 grams

---Sugar grams: 8 grams

---"Bad" Fat grams: 1 gram

Commentary:

I love this recipe and eat Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches often. These sandwiches taste great and are very easy to prepare. These sandwiches are also cheap and healthy because they are made with:

1. 100% stone ground whole wheat bread - the "stone ground" part is very important. It ensures you are getting all of the health benefits associated with whole grains

2. Natural peanut butter - filled with "good" heart healthy fats and no added sugar

3. Low Sugar Jelly - made with fruits, without all of the added sugar found in regular jelly or jam

If you are going to make these regularly, you should invest in a natural peanut butter mixer. Trying to mix it with a spoon can get messy.

Bacon Sandwiches Suitable For Diabetics

Back-to-school is upon us. Kids will be busy with school and all the extra activities this time of the year brings. Here are a couple of hot sandwich ideas that come in handy when you need a quick meal or snack to tide those hungry ones over until after the game, etc. Both of these recipes are suitable for diabetics.

The first recipe is for an open-faced version of the ever popular grilled cheese sandwich. Since it is open-faced, meaning it uses only one slice of bread, and calls for whole-wheat bread, it will fit into the diabetics diet easily. In this one recipe, you have grain, dairy, meat and vegetable all included. That's a pretty well-rounded recipe for a quick snack or meal.

OPEN-FACED GRILLED BACON-CHEESE SANDWICH

4 slices whole-wheat bread

1 tbsp butter

1/8 tsp garlic powder

4 slices American cheese

12 slices bacon, fried and drained on paper toweling

4 thick tomato slices

Melt butter in microwave and add garlic powder. Brush garlic butter on one side of each bread slice. Place bread in skillet or on griddle, buttered side down. Top each bread slice with a slice of cheese and three slices of bacon. Grill or fry over medium-high heat until bread is lightly browned and cheese starts to melt. Remove from heat and add a tomato slice on top of bacon.

Who doesn't love a good BLT? Try this recipe to liven up the usual sandwich. The seasoning mix sprinkled over the bacon gives an extra "kick" to this BLT. Diabetics, be sure you use whole-wheat bread that is thin-sliced.

SWEET AND SPICY BLT

Seasoning mix: 1 tbsp SPLENDA

1/4 tsp ground cayenne pepper

1/4 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp paprika

Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and mix well. May be stored in refrigerator in an airtight container or zip storage bag.

Sandwich: 12 slices lean bacon (or turkey bacon)

2 tsp seasoning mix (above)

8 slices whole-wheat bread, plain or toasted to suit your taste

2 tbsp fat-free ranch dressing

4 leaves of green lettuce

8 slices tomato

Place bacon on a microwave-safe plate or pan and top each slice with 1/2 teaspoon seasoning mix. Cook bacon in microwave according to package directions to desired doneness. Toast bread, if desired. Spread 1/2 tablespoon ranch dressing on 4 slices of the bread. Layer bacon-using 3 slices per sandwich, tomato and lettuce slices on bread and top with remaining bread slices.

Makes 4 sandwiches.

Enjoy!
