There’s nothing like a sandwich. Need I say more?
This is my favorite sandwich.
The Crunchy Munchy Pickle Wrap
Lavash Flatbread (I like whole wheat or the flax/oat combo)
Hummus (I make my own)
Cabbage
Tomato
Pickles
Hot Sauce
Spread the hummus over the bread
Top with cabbage, tomato, pickle and hot sauce
Roll tightly
Slice in half on a cutting board with a decent knife
Oh, my gosh! Such a simple sandwich! How can it be so tasty? Trust me, it is. It’s the kind of sandwich you can make two of, wrap one up, save for later in the fridge, and it will taste even better late that night.
I like knowing that my sandwich is working for me, not against me.
Here’s the lo-down:
Lavash Flatbread:
Pretty clean ingredients for a processed product - whole wheat flour, water, salt and yeast
Approx 8 grams of protein
A little Iron + Potassium
Hummus: We’ll look at main ingredients Chickpeas + Tahini (ground sesame seeds)
Chickpeas:
Regulate blood sugar
High in fiber and protein
High in Vitamins A,E and C
Promote Cardiovascular Health (cholesterol-free)
Tahini:
Anti-inflammatory compounds
Good source of healthy fats (which, by the way, help the body absorb all the good nutrients in greens, should you choose to have a salad on the side!)
High in protein
Lignans (anti-cancer compounds)
Cabbage:
Improves digestion
Lowers blood pressure
Anthocyanins (antioxidants that fight inflammation and protect the heart)
Vitamin K (keeps bones strong)
Tomato:
Lowers blood pressure
Lycopene (phytochemical - protects against prostate, colon and stomach cancers/promotes skin health)
Vitamin A (supports eye and skin health)
Hot Sauce:
Hot sauce is awesome
Don’t question it
My second favorite sandwich is the always-shitty-looking Peanut Butter On Folded Bread In A Fist Eaten While Standing By Fridge.
Tune in for more inspiration just like this.
Tap the little heart if this was useful.
