When life gets busy, we sometimes don’t have time to make a full family dinner or pack complicated lunches.  But don’t panic!  Try one of these easy and tasty whole wheat bread sandwich recipes that the whole family will love.

Whole Grain Bread “Burgers”

Create a unique and nutritious bread sandwich by placing a hamburger, turkey burger or chicken breast between two slices of whole wheat bread.  The bread is a source of fibre and other nutrients that make it a healthy option.  You can even make this treat ahead of time and store it in the fridge or freezer until needed!

Classic PB&J With A Twist

Peanut butter and jelly has long been a family favourite.  Why not take it to another level by changing the ingredients a bit?  Look for other nut butters at the grocery store – many are high in protein or sources of Omega-3.  For a truly unique taste, replace your traditional jelly with a different jam or sweet hazelnut spread.

Leftovers On Nutritious Bread

Turn any leftover meal into a great sandwich.  Casseroles and bakes can be great between two slices of whole wheat bread.  The possibilities are almost limitless and the bread will give your meal an added boost of fibre and other nutrients.

Classic Melts On Whole Grain Bread

Grilled sandwiches are always a favorite, and they’re fast and easy too. Heat up the grill, select a meat and your favourite cheese. Lightly toast some whole wheat bread to warm both sides and then place a slice of cheese on each.  Add your choice of meat and then toast the entire sandwich for a few minutes, flipping in the pan as needed to ensure even heating.  You can also skip the meat for a fun and nutritious whole wheat grilled cheese!
