To make a sandwich even healthier:
- Switch to reduced salt wholemeal or wholegrain bread.
- Limit high-fat spreads such as butter or margarine. You won’t miss butter if your sandwich has a few tasty ingredients already.
- Use plenty of vegetable or salad fillings
- Limit your use of spreads high in saturated fat like butter and cream cheese. Replace them with a thin spread of peanut butter or other nut spreads, hummus, low-fat cheese spreads or avocado.
- Choose reduced fat ingredients when you can, such as low-fat cheese or mayonnaise. Try to reduce your use of processed meats. Instead use fish such as salmon, tuna or sardines.
- Enjoy toasted sandwiches with baked beans.
