High Protein Low Carb Sandwich in a Bowl
Encourage muscle strength with lean proteins and boost the fiber in your diet with this delicious high protein low carb sandwich in a bowl. No bread needed, this salad “sandwich” features all your traditional sandwich favorites. Deli meats or sliced chicken breasts with lettuce, sliced cucumber, onion, and more tasty sandwich options are beautifully presented for a fresh ingredient, low carb option to the traditional sandwich.
Sandwich spreads usually include one or more of these: mayonnaise, mustard, avocado spread, nut butters, cashew cheese, red bell pepper puree. Include these as a side dip or drizzle the “sandwich” with your favorite salad dressing or a simple balsamic vinegar or champagne vinaigrette.
For my sandwich in a bowl, I chose to use deli turkey, shrimp, and crab as my proteins. I love seafood but wanted the extra layer of lean turkey!
