Build a high-protein sandwich by prioritizing lean meats, legumes, eggs, and high-protein breads. Combine a primary protein with a secondary protein like cheese, Greek yogurt-based spread, or chickpea mash for a calorie-efficient boost.
Protein-rich combos:
- Grilled chicken + cottage cheese + spinach on whole-grain bread.
- Tuna + hard-boiled egg + Greek yogurt dressing on rye.
- Turkey + Swiss + hummus on sprouted grain.
- Tempeh bacon + avocado + tomato in a wrap (vegan option).
Tips to increase protein:
- Use legumes like smashed chickpeas or a spread of black bean puree.
- Choose breads labeled with higher protein content (seeded or sprouted).
- Add seeds or nuts for extra protein and crunch.
These sandwiches are versatile for post-workout meals or sustained midday energy.
