Even though potatoes have a high carb load, using them instead of bread is a better alternative since they include complex carbohydrates, which are helpful for those who do a lot of cardio. This is because our bodies need carbs more than any other nutrient after a cardio workout, and bread is not the best choice due to the inclusion of processed flours, which can also be present in most multigrain loaves of bread. Substitute potatoes for bread and see the change in your satiety levels.
2. Bell pepper
3. Cucumber
Cucumbers can be used in a variety of ways to make a veggie sandwich without bread. You can make mini open sandwiches with paneer, olives, and tomatoes. Or you can use cucumber shavings (thin) and wrap your fillings inside. Low in calories and rich in dietary fiber, this is the perfect way to snack on a sandwich.
4. Apple
Apples are the next best carbohydrate-rich alternative! As a lunchtime snack, sandwich peanut butter and walnuts between two slices of an apple.
5. Lettuce
You can use a variety of lettuce to make healthy wraps. These can be romaine, iceberg, green leaf, red leaf, etc. These can be used as they have big lettuce leaves enough to make into a wrap. You can add your favorite fillings like cheese, olives, cherry tomatoes, and cubed tikkis to make a delicious wrap, which will not only fill you up but also cater to your ‘bread hunger pang’.
6. Carrot
Carrot shavings or slices, like cucumber slices, can be used to make a sandwich or burger. Before putting the carrot in your sandwich, blanch it to make it easier to chew. Have a heart disease and your doctor instructed you to eat nutritious foods, but you like sandwiches? Carrots come to your aid! Carrots have been shown to reduce the risk of chronic heart disease, making them an excellent snack.
