    The Ultimate Plant-Based Sandwich with Smashed Avocado

    0
    By Alisa Fleming on August 13, 2020 Dairy-Free Recipes, Sandwiches

    As families spend more time at home, Americans have taken comfort in an old favorite: bread. In fact, a 20-year trend of declining grain food consumption has been reversed. And that isn’t a bad thing in my opinion. Dairy-free bread provides B vitamins, magnesium, selenium, iron, folate, and fiber, and allows you to make this plant-based sandwich, which is loaded with even more nutrients!

    The Ultimate Plant-Based Sandwich Recipe with Smashed Avocado. Dairy-free, vegan, and includes a fresh array of whole grain bread and topping options.

    The Ultimate Plant-Based Sandwich with Smashed Avocado

    Really, the options are endless for making this your favorite, mighty, plant-based sandwich. But here are some suggestions to get you started.

    Choosing your Dairy-Free Bread

    I’m really not sure why the Grains Foundation, chose what looks like a rustic country-style bread. We’re all about the whole grains! Especially since they add a nice dose of protein to this light meal. If I were going with store-bought, I would compliment these fresh vegetables with a hearty, earthy, sprouted bread, like Silver Hills Bakery. That’s my current favorite, but you might like some of these other options in our Dairy-Free Bread Reviews. That list includes gluten-free options too!

    If I had some time, I would bake some homemade bread. This 100% Whole Grain Bread Recipe is one that we’ve made for years. It’s amazing when sliced thick for sandwiches. Trust me, you haven’t truly experienced a sandwich until you’ve had it on home-baked wheat bread.

    Topping Tips for Your Ultimate Plant-Based Sandwich

    I’m sure you have even more ideas, but here are some more toppings that I love on veggie sandwiches:

    • Sliced or Chopped Olives
    • Sprouts
    • Roasted Bell Peppers
    • Baby Spinach Leaves
    • Shredded Cabbage
    • Chopped Artichoke Hearts
    • Roasted Beet Slices
    • Smashed Chickpeas (adds some protein; can combine with a little mayo or vegan mayo)
    • Tofu (smashed and seasoned with the avocado; adds some protein)
