Veggie Sandwich Recipe Using My Favorite Bread!
What do you put on a veggie sandwich?
You don't need cold cuts to make a delicious sandwich. I came up with my favorite veggie sandwich when I needed to use up the vegetables in my fridge. There is no science to this sandwich, so switch up this recipe with your favorite ingredients. Here's how I made my latest creation:
1. Bread – A nutritious, whole grain bread should be the foundation of any amazing sandwich. I typically choose gluten-free bread (because gluten fuels my eczema). The bread I used is Simple Kneads gluten-free, vegan sourdough bread. I recommend toasting it!
2. Spread – Hummus is usually my go-to. You can also use pesto or smashed avocado. Try sprinkling Trader Joe’s Everything But the Bagel seasoning on the spread.
3. Produce – I used sliced bell peppers, cucumber, and lettuce. You can also add tomato, onion, carrots.
4. Toppings – I added the ultimate nutritious food - broccoli sprouts! It really doesn't change the taste of the sandwich, it just adds texture, crunch, and nutrition. You can also add hot sauce or any other sauces or spices to jazz it up.

Why I Choose Simple Kneads Gluten-Free Sourdough Bread:
In the U.S., it’s estimated that wheat products, vegetable oils, and added sugar, now make up about 70% of the total calories most people consume each day!
This way of eating can do serious damage to our gut health and leave people with unwanted symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, brain fog, eczema, joint pain, low energy, & nutrient deficiencies.
Certain foods can contribute to these symptoms and cause further inflammation. For some, this food can be gluten - a type of protein found in grains including wheat, barley, and rye. This is why I LOVE Simple Kneads bread. It's a gluten-free sourdough bread made with a natural leavening agent relying on a slow fermentation of the dough - aka it's easy on digestion!
It's made from nutritious grains, such as millet, sorghum, quinoa, buckwheat, teff, and psyllium seed husk. These fiber-packed grains help to fuel the beneficial bacteria in our gut. And just one slice has 3g of fiber AND 3g of protein. It's a must-have for your veggie sandwich!
