With lower carb foods gaining in popularity, people are often seeking bread swaps for new creative ways to make sandwiches. One option is to make your own “bread” or “wrap” at home by whisking together two egg whites and one egg yolk and putting it in the oven for 25 minutes. This results in a fluffy, cloud-like bread substitute that can be used as a wrap, sandwich or eaten open-faced with toppings.
Another option is to use almond or coconut flour, such as in the Key3 Quick Bread. By combining 2 eggs, 1 cup almond flour, 1 tsp baking powder, and ¼ cup Greek yogurt and microwaving for 3 minutes, you can have a quick bread that is high in protein, fiber, and healthy fats but low in carbohydrates.
If you don’t feel like cooking, some other easy bread swaps can include bell peppers, lettuce or endive cups, or portobello mushrooms as low carb “buns.” Coconut wraps from NUCO are also a great higher fat, low carb option.
Next time you want a sandwich but don’t feel like having bread, consider one of these fun swaps to upgrade your lunch.
