4. Clean Eating Nut Butter and Jam Sandwich

Putting these two ingredients together inside a sandwich is the definition of comfort food. But traditionally, the peanut butter and jelly sandwiches of our youth were likely loaded with peanut butter packed with preservatives and jelly made with added refined sugar.

5. Avocado Egg Salad Sandwich

We’ve revamped the traditional egg salad with a superfood addition – creamy avocado! Swapped in for mayo, you get twice the flavor and all of the plant-based benefits.

The flavors of Italy come alive in this deliciously filling sandwich recipe. We’ve combined zesty basil pesto, juicy tomatoes, and gooey cheese to make this plant-based sandwich recipe one that you’ll keep coming back for.

7. Mediterranean Eggplant Wrap

While technically not a sandwich, we feel like this Mediterranean wrap recipe deserves a spot on our list of vegetarian sandwich recipes. Along with eggplant, this wrap features ingredients like lemon juice, tomatoes, radishes, red onions, kale, yellow squash, and mint. This vegetarian recipe bursts with clean and refreshing flavors that are a huge step up from the mustard and mayo you’ve been putting on sandwiches for years.

8. Vegetarian Panini with Roasted Peppers and Goat Cheese

These freshly roasted peppers top a generous smear of gooey goat cheese and sliced sweet onions, sandwiched between crisped slices of whole grain bakery bread. You don’t need to go to an Italian restaurant to get your favorite vegetarian panini!

9. Tomato, Mozzarella, and Basil Panini

This SkinnyMs. recipe starts off with whole wheat bread slices, juicy tomatoes, fresh basil, mozzarella cheese slices, and olive oil. The sandwich is then cooked and flattened until golden crisp, yielding creamy, melted cheese that pairs perfectly with bold basil and sweet tomatoes.
