Healthy Sandwich Swaps in a Flash!

A better lunch box is in the making...

 

It's back-to-school time and lunch boxes are back in business! Is the classic PB & J or a plain ham & cheese the only option? Believe it or not, there are lots of “out of the box” delicious and nutritious lunch options to choose from!

 

What makes a healthier lunch? More veggies, fiber and healthy fats... and less processed grains, added sugar and saturated fats! You can simply swap the bread, swap the meat, swap the cheese or swap the sauce (or jam) to make a better sandwich in a flash!
