Bread is over rated. Get creative and try a bread-free sandwich – the sky’s the limit.
I typically try to eat more whole foods at lunch which may look something like this: an avocado, a tomato, an orange, baby carrots/ sweet organic peppers and hummus, almonds, coconut milk with a teaspoon of chia seeds and a big chunk of dark chocolate. It may sound weird but with the hummus prepared the night before, you can slap lunch together in less than five minutes, and not even notice it was bread-free.
There are many people that are avoiding grains, understandably; but even if you aren’t, try one of these recipes to mix things up a bit. Low carbohydrate lunches help to prevent the post-lunch ‘I need a nap’ feeling, which is enough of an incentive to go bread-free at least once next week.
Be sure to substitute as needed to make recipes gluten-free, two ingredients to be aware of are miso and soy sauce – both of which come in gluten-free varieties.
