Low-Cal Lunch Go-To's



Low-Cal Lunch Go-To's

Sandwiches don't have to be boring! My favorite low-cal lunch go-to's include this chipotle chicken sandwich (278 calories) and grown-up PB&J (195 calories). These sandwiches are packed with flavor without all the calories. Pair some Blue Diamond Nut Thins (I like the pepper jack flavor) with them and you'll be satisfied until dinner! Also, one of my co-workers called my chicken sandwich "the best sandwich ever" :) 

Low-Cal Spicy Chipotle Chicken Sandwich

Ingredients:
2 slices Sara Lee 45 Calorie Multi-Grain bread
Handful spinach
3 Slices Hillshire Farms chipotle chicken deli meat
1 slice pepper jack cheese
1/4 avocado, sliced
1 tsp. Siracha hot sauce 

Directions:
Place spinach on bottom piece of bread to cover completely. Layer sliced chicken and place cheese on top. Top with sliced avocado. Drizzle Siracha on second piece of bread and sandwich together. Enjoy!

1 tbsp. reduced-fat creamy peanut butter
