Lifestyle Desk: Sandwich is such an option for breakfast, which does not take much time to make and it can include vegetables, cheese or other things of your choice. This is the reason why it is liked among everyone, from children to adults. Mayonnaise is usually used to enhance the taste and texture of sandwiches.
Mayonnaise definitely makes it creamy and tasty, but the amount of calories and fat in it can be quite high. In such a situation, if you want to keep your breakfast a little light and balanced, then you can try some other options instead of mayonnaise. Let us know what that tasty and healthy option is.
Greek yogurt will give creamy texture
Greek yogurt can be a good alternative to mayonnaise in sandwiches. It is thick and gives a creamy texture to the sandwich. The spread can be prepared by adding some salt, black pepper, lemon juice and finely chopped coriander to it. If you want a twist in taste then some garlic can also be added to it.
Hung curd is also a good option
If Greek yogurt is not available at home, hung curd can be used. For this, tie the curd in a muslin cloth for some time and remove its excess water. Prepared hung curd can be mixed with spices and applied to bread. It makes the sandwich creamy and also gives a slight sourness.
Make creamy spread with avocado
Spread for sandwiches can also be prepared by mashing avocado. Adding lemon juice, black pepper and a little salt to it improves its taste. The unsaturated fats present in avocado make it a nutritious choice. However, it also contains calories, so it is important to keep the quantity in mind.
Enhance taste with hummus
Hummus made from gram is also a good option for sandwiches. It can be applied directly on bread as a spread. Hummus uses chickpeas and sesame seeds, so it can add protein and fiber along with flavor to the sandwich. It tastes especially good with vegetable sandwiches.
You can also try peanut butter or nut butter
If you want a slightly different taste in your sandwich, you can use peanut butter or other nut butters without added sugar. However, these can be high in calories, so it is better to use them in moderation. This option may look especially good in sweet sandwiches.
Make delicious sandwich with chutney and cheese also
A delicious spread can be prepared by mixing coriander-mint chutney with curd. At the same time, sandwich filling can also be prepared by mashing cheese and adding some vegetables and spices to it.
Thus removing mayonnaise does not mean compromising on taste. With the right spreads and fresh vegetables, sandwiches can be made tasty and balanced. However, the calories of any option depend on its quantity and the ingredients used in it, so it is equally important to keep an eye on the portions when trying to control weight.
