http://www.proteinvegan.com Healthy Vegetarian Recipes: Sandwich for Lunch Need quick and healthy vegetarian recipes for lunch. Healthy vegetarian recipesI have an idea that all of us know about, but sometimes need just a quick refresher. Most of us are on the go throughout the day and find it difficult to find a microwave or cooking resources to prepare our lunch meals. The sandwich doesn’t need to be just a regular sandwich. Try to make it fun with your kids. You can work with your kids to come up with ideas on how to spice up your vegetarian sandwich meal, so it’s not just a “sandwich”. Bread options for lunch within healthy vegetarian recipes Lets get started with the outside of the sandwich. Have you seen all the different types of breads that are out there now days. We don’t have to eat just wheat bread anymore. A few ideas that are very popular today are pita’s, and Indian naan. Even if you stick with regular bread, the option doesn’t have to be just wheat. Great options are cinnamon-raison, rye, pumpernickel or challah bread. To add a little vegan protein into your sandwich, try a little seeded bread. Most vegetarian kids, don’t care for a big sandwich with a lot of bread. Well you can make some very inventive sandwich bread replacements for kids, that makes it fun for them to eat. Using crackers and let them build their own little snack sandwiches make it it fun to eat. I saw just this last weekend making a taco sandwich using lettuce as a wrap for a kids sandwich. The Sandwich Insides Trying to come up with ideas on what to make your sandwich out of is always a struggle. There is always the lettuce, tomato, peanut butter and jelly. Well, for Vegetarians, not using meat in you sandwich can be a struggle, to find ideas for great tasting sandwiches. I have learned that you need to be a little inventive to replace the regular routine. What about apple butter to replace jelly? Hummus and sweet peppers add some flavor and diversity, but one great option that I found recently is making a vegan grilled cheese sandwich. No, the cheese is not a daily cheese, but a vegan cheese, that tastes fantastic. Food presentation is important in healthy vegetarian recipes. Present your sandwich so your kids with eat it. Not only do you need to come up great food ingredients, the presentation is the other half. Some quick ideas for presentation is to make designs out of the bread, or designs of the vegetables. Grapes or olives can be used as eyes and lettuce can be used as fringe. Just take an extra minutes to jazz up your sandwiches with non standard ingredients. Then for kids, add a few design ideas for preparation. You will discover the sandwiches can be a great idea for your healthy vegetarian recipes.
