WHICH HIGH-PROTEIN SANDWICH TOPPINGS ARE THERE?

Back to the different sandwich toppings that are packed with protein! Good news: there are plenty of high-protein toppings to choose from. Here are some of the best options.

LOW-FAT CHEESE

Cheese is a good source of protein, but many types also contain a lot of fat. So go for low-fat cheese, such as hüttenkäse or low-fat cottage cheese. These contain a lot of protein and little fat.

EGGS

Eggs are not only a good source of protein, but also of many other nutrients. Top your bread with a boiled egg, for example, or make an omelette as a sandwich filling.

NUT SPREADS

Nut spreads, such as peanut butter or almond paste, contain a lot of protein and healthy fats. Do watch the amount of sugar and salt in some varieties.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF FISH

Fish is an excellent source of protein and also contains healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Top your bread with canned tuna or smoked salmon, for example.

CHICKEN BREAST

Let's finish with perhaps the best known. Chicken breast is a lean cut of meat and contains a lot of protein. Cut a piece of chicken breast into thin slices and put them on your bread.

OTHER OPTIONS

There are of course many more high-protein topping options. Think of hummus, tofu, quinoa salad or bean spreads. When you're looking for a high-protein topping, check the nutritional values of the product carefully. Look at the protein content per serving and avoid toppings with a lot of sugar and salt. That way you can enjoy tasty, healthy sandwiches and get enough protein to support your health and muscles.
