Calorie Catch

Guilt-free Sandwiches To Make For Your Kids Tiffin

December 13, 2019 By Chef Kathy Fang

I like to follow a few basic rules when it comes to making healthy sandwiches for kids. 

Rule 1: Make sure the bread you use contains whole grains, oats, and healthy seeds. The bread itself can pack a huge punch of nutrients these days, from fiber, vitamins, to protein and even omega-3 fatty acids. I love Dave’s Killer Bread Good Seed. It contains, whole wheat, flax seed, sesame, oats and uses organic Non-GMO ingredients.

Rule 2: Always use organic and nitrate free cold cuts. These days you can find turkey, ham, even hot dogs without nitrates, so be sure read the labels carefully before selecting. 

Rule 3: Always find ways to sneak in veggies into savory sandwiches and fresh fruit into sandwiches that are sweet. 

Rule 4: Pick healthy condiments by going organic, low sugar, or uses healthy fats. For example, mayo that is made with avocado oil is awesome, peanut butter that doesn’t contain sugar is great too!

Rule 5: Be creative and don’t be afraid to try more adult like combos, have fun with fancier cheeses and spreads. Or go international, think different flavor profiles to make it different.
