Sandwiches are the perfect meal for on-the-go. People with diabetes have to be careful, though, as to not spike their blood sugar levels with the typical processed meat and fast burning carbo-loaded bread sandwiches that are sold in almost every joint.
So we bring to you 8 exceptional sandwiches that still have the benefit of being ready to go with you in your busy day that will also fuel your body in the best way possible.
#1 Lemon Caper Tuna Sandwich
Suggested serving.
This is the tuna sandwich for adults only. The lemon and caper give it such a sophisticated zing that it makes you forget that you’re actually eating a heart-healthy meal.
#2 The Loaded Mediterranean Sandwich
Suggested serving.
I love the ingredients in this sandwich because they are fresh and crispy with a flavor to match. It makes eating a sandwich seem like an exciting adventure with each bite.
#3 Spicy Sweet Potato Chip & Avo Sammie
Suggested serving.
The sweet potato chips add a sweet layer of flavor in this sandwich. That combined with avocado makes it a melt-in-your-mouth kind of sandwich that fills you up with good, slow-digesting carbs and fiber, leaving you full for the afternoon.
#4 Smashed White Bean & Avo Sandwich
Suggested serving.
Ditch the mayo! Opt for this white bean mash instead. The ingredients in the white bean pack a powerful punch and the protein in the beans leaves you full for hours.
#5 Sweet Potato & Avo Sandwich
Suggested serving.
Another sweet potato and avocado combination that works so well together. It is filling, trendy, easy, and delicious.
#6 Roasted Red Pepper Hummus, Avo & Feta Sandwich
Suggested serving.
The hummus adds a nice, velvety layer in the sandwich that carries a nice flavor throughout. The feta adds a nice zing to the smooth and sweet hummus. It’s like having a gourmet experience no matter where you are.

Suggested serving.
You don’t need to be fancy to enjoy an exceptional sandwich. Even those with just the basics can be great. This one has exactly the best vegetables for a 4 layer sandwich.
#8 Green Goddess Sandwich

I saved this one for last because it is my favorite. All of the right greens together in one sandwich.
