These gluten free sandwiches are layered with a creamy Mexican avocado spread, spicy sprouts, fresh tomatoes and crunchy cucumber slices. They’re an easy, healthy meatless lunch option for under 250 calories!
We’re eating sprouts. Mostly because it’s Monday, and because Monday’s ALWAYS go HEAD ON into the healthy food department. Because, you know, BROWNIES, COOKIES AND CAKE on weekends.
I know you get what I’m talking about.
BUT, sprouts. Like the little veggie strings of crunchy, fresh deliciousness that I’ve never actually eaten because I thought that only farm animals DID THAT. THOSE SPROUTS. And we’re putting them between 2 soft, fluffy slices of Udi’s Gluten Free Country Seeded bread and MUNCHIN’ it down for LUNCH.
You know why? Besides the fact that sandwiches are the greatest, 5 minute creation that ever came out of some smart person’s brain. BECAUSE IT’S BACK TO SCHOOL.

[Tweet “6 tasty, easy and healthy back-to-school-meal-ideas! @udisglutenfree”]Can we talk about sprouts again, or are you over them? I’m clearly not but my don’t-talk-about-stringy-vegetables-any-longer-senses are tingling HARDCORE. So, I’m kinda thinking we should go with WE CAN’T.
BUTBUTBUT there’s also avocado. And we can always talk about the creamy, green-goodness that is THAT. Especially when it gets smashed-up-mashed-up with a little bit of smoky-spicy cumin and chili powder, PLUS whatever salsa that your inner-easy-meatless-lunch-lovin’ self desires.
Preeeety much a “chose your own adventure sandwich” peeps. Let the fun-food times ROLLLLL.
Speaking of rolls (HELLO SEGUE) let’s talk about the KEY component of sandwiches: the bread. It’s gotta be soft, it’s gotta be FLUFFY and it has to HOLD UP to all the crispety-crunchety bites of ULTRA fresh cucumber with those bursts of juicy tomato that explode all up in yer MOUTH.
Don’t worry. The tasty kind of FLAVOR explosion. No taste buds will be harmed in the making of this sandwich.
Anyway. Bread. Specifically Udi’s Gluten Free Country Seeded Bread. AKA: the bread that turned me from one of those “skeptical about gluten free bread” people to one of those “where has it been all my life” sorta people.
I can’t lie, bread was the ONE thing that I still ate with wheat. But then Mr. FFF’s body did that thing where it started HATING gluten, so that clearly needed to change. Growing up, my mom once tried to buy gluten free bread and I called it “alien bread.” Because, peeps, that bread looked WEIRD.
BUT, that was eleventy billion years ago and lemme just tell you, it has come a L-O-N-GGGGG way since then. A long way in the sense that I actually eat it now. Like, every day of my life because YES-YUM-OK-SANDWICHES-FOREVER-THE-END.
You understand what I’m trying to say.
Or if you don’t, here’s some decoding:
Get your buns off the couch (see what I did there? Laugh.) Do the avocado salsa mash and spread it on two slices of thick, soft and perfectly squishy bread. Top it with SPROUTS (still obsessing) and slices of crunchy-crisp cucumber and tomato.
Then, I double-dog-dare you (<— that’s what the kiddos say right?) to pack it in your kid’s lunch box without eating it YOURSELF FIRST.
