Tuna Salad Sandwich
Health Fun Fact
I go through different phases with the breads I love, and I mostly eat either organic sourdough or pumpernickel! I had pumpernickel bread on hand this week for this sandwich. It has a much lower glycemic index than regular bread (doesn’t spike your blood sugar -> doesn’t spike your insulin levels -> doesn’t lead to a sugar crash), it aids in digestion, and it’s a great source of fibre!
Today’s lunch was protein-filled, satisfying and delicious! I love having tuna as a protein for lunch, and wanted to change it up from my usual salad with tuna, so I decided to whip up some healthy tuna salad. I don’t know about you but I find mayonnaise kind of gross lol (plus most store bought ones contain sunflower/canola oil, which are a big no no), so this tuna salad uses greek yogurt instead. It’s super simple to make and packed with protein, and it contains 32g of protein from the tuna, plus a little extra from the yogurt!
