Pretzel Bun Double Meat and Green Avocado Sandwich

Hey Sandwich Fans!

A sandwich is one of the most theoretically simple dishes in the world. However, this means everyone's a critic. We all have our favorite sandwiches...this healthy sandwich has definitely become a favorite of mine!

The Recipe: Pretzel Bun Double Meat and Green Avocado Sandwich

  • Pretzel Bun
  • 2 ounces of thinly sliced honey ham
  • 1 cup chopped romaine lettuce
  • 1/2 avocado, sliced


The Process:

  • Using a knife with a serrated edge, slice the bun in half
  • On each side of the bun, lay one ounce of ham
  • On one side of the bun, lay the romaine lettuce
  • On the other side of the bun, lay the avocado slices
  • Close the bun
  • Enjoy! 

The Calories: 

Pretzel Bun: 200 calories (depends on size)
Ham: 60 calories
Lettuce: 8 calories
Avocado: 161 calories
____________________________
TOTAL: 429 calories

For under 500 calories, this is an exceptionally filling sandwich complete with a delicious and rich bun, 6 slices of ham, lettuce, and the superfood-avocado. 

What went right: 
          The meat to bread ratio and dry to wet ratios are pretty awesome. The pretzel bun makes this easy; a good bun will be nice and moist at the center. The lettuce adds the perfect amount of crunch. All the ingredients work nicely together. 
What went wrong: 
         I wouldn't say "wrong", but my personal sandwich preference is chicken or bacon with avocado. The ham definitely worked, considering this was a quick 'on the way out, take whatever's in the fridge' creation. 

What I would do next time:
         I would have liked to include some tomato, potentially cucumber, and use chicken or turkey instead of the ham. 

Would I make this in college: 
        Definitely. It's fast, simple, and healthy. All the qualities of a college meal! 

Overall, I was very pleased with this sandwich. Once I realized I was nearing the end, my bites grew increasingly smaller, savoring every moment.
