Creative sandwich:
1. You can use below examples for spreading:
Avocado spread – nutritional avocado spread, it’s perfect as a base for sandwiches, tortillas. It can also be used as a dip for veggie sticks.
Vegan cashew butter – rich in unsaturated fatty acids. Soaked cashews need to be blended to thick consistency mass.
Peanut butter – ideal for children at every age, it contains healthy fatty acids.
Veggie pesto – ajvar is a slightly spicy veggie spread, made from sweet pepper, aubergine and garlic, delicate tomato and pepper spread.
Legumes spread, hummus – green peas and cottage cheese spread, chick-pea hummus are the best spread for the bread
2. Spices and herbs give new taste to the food.
Fresh herbs: basil, oregano, coriander, chives, parsley
Spices: cinnamon, caraway or turmeric, red pepper
3. Bread: Instead of traditional bread use: pita, corn bread, wraps, flatbreads fried on the pan, wholemeal waffles, wholemeal crepes.
4. Fresh snacks as an addition.
Pack a small bag or package of snacks. Use cheese, fresh and dried fruit, vegetables, seeds, nuts, homemade mousses, smoothies. Prepare veggies in a different way, cutting them in matchstick (julliene) type slices, diamond, circle and star shapes, using baking forms. Try:
Green veggies: rocket, lettuce, watercress, lamb’s lettuce, kale
Baked veggies: zucchini, aubergine, pumpkin, scallion, baked carrots, baked lentils
Fresh veggies: celery, carrots, radishes, cucumbers, pepper, cocktail tomatoes
Cheeses: hard cheeses such as parmesan with grapes, cheddar or other types like blue cheese
Remember about the fruit: bananas, apples, peaches, grapes, plums, pineapple, mango or oranges are a perfect dessert
5. Keep your meals safe.
Invest in portable food containers: small fridges with cooling pads, thermos flasks, insulated bags. Using that kind of containers can expand the product range eaten on second breakfast. Containers with cooling pads are intended to keep lower temperature of food, thereby extending the freshness of the food. They reduce the risk of food poisoning.
