Smart swaps
- White sub roll→Ezekiel sprouted grain bread
Ezekiel bread is made from sprouted whole grains and legumes, providing more bioavailable protein and fiber with no added sugar.
- Virginia ham and Monterey Jack cheese→Center-cut turkey bacon
Turkey bacon gives the smoky, savory club flavor with far less sodium and saturated fat than ham and cheese combined.
- Mayonnaise→Mashed avocado
Avocado replaces mayo's empty saturated fat with heart-healthy monounsaturated fat plus potassium and fiber.
- Shredded iceberg lettuce→Baby spinach
Spinach offers substantially more iron, folate, and vitamin A compared to nutritionally sparse iceberg lettuce.
