It’s understandable. You want to enjoy the delectable taste of sandwiches but you don’t want to feel guilty about those calories. Imagine, in just a slice of bread, you’d get 24 calories! And you have to walk at least 7-10 minutes just to burn the calories you got from just a slice of bread. Bread also has other adverse effects on health; for example, did you know that bread is pretty bad for you teeth? You wouldn’t think it, but that sugary dough can get stuck in your teeth and can rot there for days, causing cavities in your teeth and sending you to a Dentist in Georgetown. But hey, don’t fret. Now, who would have thought you can get away with yummy sandwiches without the bread?
Here are a few no-bread sandwich recipes from which you can choose from:
1. Tomato slider sandwich – You’re going to use large tomatoes in exchange of the buns! You can choose any ingredients you want to include like burger patties, eggs, hams. Don’t forget to put mayonnaise or mustard!
2. Eggplant bread sandwich – Grill two slices of eggplant and fill in any ingredients of your choice. Avocado, goat milk and cheese sounds yummy!
3. Bell pepper sandwich – Ever imagine eating bell pepper as the bread in a sandwich? It gets more delectable with turkey and cheese rolls as fillings!
4. Portabello sandwich bread – Grilled Portabello mushroom caps are a great substitute to bread. If you want it meatless, you can use leafy veggies, cheese and sprinkle some balsamic vinegar and you’re off to go!
5. Cucumber boats – One of the easiest recipes, you just have to cut your cucumbers into slices and take out the seeds, squeeze in turkey rolls, spread some mustard and you’ve got a good lunch coming.
6. Lettuce cups – Romaine lettuce leaves are perfect. Check your fridge for left over meat or salsa that you can use as spread for the leaves and they’d be a perfect match.
7. Grain-free hamburger buns – You can get away from all the calories bread brings, as long as you choose grain-free, which are less in calories.
8. Plantain tortillas – Just come up with tortilla batter and mold it depending on how thin you want it. Bake it according to how soft or hard you want it, too!
9. Cauliflower sandwich – It’s just like the cauliflower wraps but in this recipe you don’t have to steam the cauliflower.
10. Oopsie bread – They’re not bread but they’re softer and spongier buns, made of cream or goat cheese. This is almost free from carbs because it is flourless.
11. Tapioca wraps – One of the most familiar substitute for bread, just grab some cheese or tuna for filling.
12. Butternut flat bread – Coconut flour, mashed sweet potato or butternut squash, grassfed gelatin and a few seasonings are all you’ll need for this.
13. Sweet potato buns – Coconut flour, sweet potato and egg, are just among the few things you need for this.
14. Butternut squash – Like the flat bread, you start with coconut oil and mashed butternut squash.
15. Cauliflower wraps – Use fresh cauliflower and spread some light fillings for your lunch!
