Best thing since sliced bread? 5 of the yummiest healthy sandwiches.

What's even better than sliced bread? The yummy sandwiches you can make from them! Ok, it doesn't have to be sliced bread - sometimes it's quite fun to hand slice a loaf fresh from the local bakery, and to mix textures up by including rolls and baguettes amongst the finely sliced bread sandwiches. 

In our house, rustic bread made from wholegrain flours - mostly sourdough - is a regular fixture in our pantry. During Plastic Free July, we realised how easy it was to take our own organic cotton bread bags to the local baker, and ask them to place the freshly sliced bread straight into our bags. (This has lead to a LOT of positive conversations with both the bakers and other curious shoppers.) We've also noticed that the bread keeps much better in the cotton bags than the old plastic bread bags we used to have. The bread is kept in a vintage bread crock, which also helps to keep it fresh. 

But back to the point! If you are looking for some yummilicious filling ideas for sandwiches which are filling, healthy and delicious, try out some of these ideas...

As the "mother" half of the Future King & Queen mother-daughter duo, Virginia is a Melbourne based designer who firmly believes that living kindly is a series of daily choices that we can each make in order to touch the earth more lightly. At the age of 11, she wrote a passionate English essay about the practice of animal testing in the cosmetics industry, as part of a school assignment - and as an adult, has strived to encourage her 3 children to become compassionate, thinking young adults who care for both others around them and the world in which they live.

Virginia has been vegan for more than 2 years, after attending a talk by Phillip Wollen (OAM) when all the lightbulbs suddenly went on! Here was a way to live that touched the earth more lightly, didn't involve harm to animals, and opened the door to a much more healthy lifestyle.
