Easy Vegan Sandwich
This Easy Vegan Sandwich is so delicious and full of goodness.
When I first decided to become a vegetarian, I was surprised at how difficult I found lunch. I cruised quickly through finding breakfasts – I never ate meat for breakfast anyway, so that was easy for me – but finding delicious alternatives for lunch wasn’t as easy.
If you’re like me, then you enjoy not eating salad at every meal – variety is the name of the game for me.
Until I suddenly had to figure out what vegan and vegetarian lunches I could make, I had never realized before how much of our daily meals are meat based.
It blew my mind.
So, I realized that I had to change the way I thought about lunch and find delicious and easy vegan alternatives.
I won’t lie; it took some serious thought and planning to figure out what lunches I could eat. My search for tasty vegan lunch ideas may have been born slightly out of desperation – after eating nothing but salads for the first 2 weeks of my diet change, I was ready for something more.
That’s when I started getting creative. It’s amazing how often creativity is born out of desperation, but I guess that’s a testament to the human ingenuity.
Anyways, I made it my mission to find easy lunches that I could bring with me on the go, that would be just as good if not better than a regular club sandwich.
This Easy Vegan sandwich was one of the first lunches I made…and it’s stil one of my favorites. As it’s name implies, it’s really easy to make and it’s also super satisfying.
I have to give props to Ea for the help in creating this recipe. We had a little brinstorming session, and came up with this little gem.
What’s great about this recipe:
- Easy to make
- Can be made in advance and taken with you to-go
- Creamy and packed with flavors
- Healthy and balanced with fibers, carbs and proteins
- Will keep you full for longer
To make this sandwich even healthier, you can use whole wheat sandwich bread. I like to use my bread recipe whenever I make this lunch.
This healthy sandwich recipe has a mediterranean flavor. The sundried tomatoes adds sweetness and sunshine and compliments the egg plants in the best way. The taste is just how I like it, creamy and mild with a taste of sunshine.
If you like spicy food, just add a bit of hot sauce to the sandwich. It will give an extra hit of flavor.
