Healthy Sandwich Options with Flatout Hungry Girl Flatbread #FlatoutHot

Healthy sandwich options are something that I look for as  I continue to lose weight.  And I crave something that tastes yummy and full of flavor.  It also has to be something that is not the same.  When  I saw that Flatout paired together with Hungry Girl, I knew this was a perfect fit fo me.  Flatout has always has great taste and a high fiber content.

 And, I am so glad that Walgreens carries it now because as a mom on the go, I am glad that I can find a healthy option in a convenience/drugstore.

I am not a chef.  I have been complimented when I follow a recipe so off to the Flatout website to find some options for me.
A Foldit Flatbread Sandwich
After gathering ideas, I decided to be ecclectic and blend some ideas together.  Voila!
The  Flatbread Turkey, Bacon and Avocado Sandwich was full of flavor and not on calories.
Here is what I used:

Flatout Flatbread Whole Grain with Flax

2 slices of BoarsHead Low Sodium Turkey

1 slice 2% milk American cheese

2 strips of turkey bacon

1 Romaine lettuce leaf

4 grape tomatoes
2 slices cucumber 4 thin slices of avocado

 

Foldit Flatbread Hot Chicken Quesadilla #Flatouthot

 

For my hot sandwich, I thought a Flatout Chicken Quesadilla sounded delsih.

Foldit Flatbread Chicken Quesadilla #FlatOutHot

Here is my version of the Chicken Quesadilla 

1 Flatout® Whole Grain with Flaxseed Flatbread
1/2 cup pulled roasted chicken
1/4 cup diced mixed peppers
1 Tbs diced red and green onions
1/4 tsp Fajita seasoning
1/4 cup light cheddar and mozzarella 2% cheese, shredded
2 slices cooked lower sodium turkey bacon
1 oz fat free ranch dressing

Once all ingredients were assembled, I put in my Hamilton Beach Toaster Oven for 2 – 3 minutes on each side on medium heat. 

Both of the recipes made me full and I didn’t not feel like I was skimping out for the purpose of dieting.  Adding lots of veggies created the volume without lots of extra calories.

There are days where I run from one extracurricular to another after work.  Being able to run to Walgreens to get some staples for a great healthy meal is what I need without the hassle of large supermarket shopping in the middle of the week.

I can’t wait to make again and this time have my girls help make their ow sandwiches!

How are you managing to choose healthy options while on the go?

  2. I LOVE the Flatout breads! I didn’t know that they paired with Hungry Girl… who is pretty amazing! I’ve been getting her newsletter for years.

  9. I try to stay away from quick, unhealthy meals while on the go….the chicken hot sandwich looks awesome!! Definitely going to have to check it out

  15. Your sandwiches look and sound great. I’m guessing the Turkey Sandwich was a bit messy, big hands would be a must. I always overstuff my sandwiches and wraps, mostly with vegetables, to the point where I can’t set it down because it will fall apart when I go to pick it up again.

  16. I’m going to add these to my shopping list.
    Wow sandwich looks soooo good.
    Love a healthier food!
    Thank you.

  17. Boy both sandwiches look yummy. I’m more of a quesadilla person though. Some roast beef and some pepperjack cheese on a Flatout Whole Grain with Flaxseed Flatbread sounds pretty good.

  20. Oh your Flatbread Turkey, Bacon and Avocado Sandwich looks amazing!!!! I love avocado but do not have many recipes to use it in. Oh so excited to try this!

  21. I have never seen this kind of bread before, but would love to try it. I have to pack a lunch for work and get so bored with the same old thing! Thanks for the review!

  22. It is really nice to be able to find a healthy option at a drug store, that can often be difficult to do.

  25. I also would make a tyurkey, bacon and avocado sandwich but it would look as good as yours

  29. I’m glad that Walgreens is carrying healthier food options than the usual junk you find at drug and convenience stores.

  34. i love loading sandwiches with veggies but i never thought of adding avacado. thanks for the tip!
