minutesIf you are avoiding carbs as part of a weight loss program (keto) or an allergy to gluten, there are many bread alternatives on the market than just 5 years ago. Some sandwich bread alternatives like:
Ezekiel bread – One slice is 15 grams (g) of carbohydrate so people could incorporate it into a low-carb diet plan. However, Ezekiel bread contains grains such as wheat and barley, it is unsuitable for people with gluten intolerance or Celiac disease. Cloud bread – also known as “oopsie bread”, is very popular with low-carb and keto dieters. Cloud bread is a protein-rich alternative to regular bread and makes an excellent sandwich base or English muffin replacement.
Vegetarian substitutes include: eggplant disks, portobello mushrooms, big iceberg lettuce, and cabbage leaves.

Ingredients
-
2 lbs. extra lean ground beef (93/7)
-
1⁄2 cup skim milk
-
1 tbsp. Flag olive oil
-
1/2 medium onion, diced
-
3 cloves garlic, minced
-
8 whole grain sandwich thins
-
1⁄4 cup Part skim mozzarella
-
1⁄4 cup Parmesan cheese
Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, add the meat, milk, and seasoning and gently combine with your hands. Portion into golf-ball size meatballs.
- Meanwhile, preheat a large deep sauté pan to medium heat. Add the olive oil and sauté the onions and garlic until soft. Add the meatballs to the pan and start to cook the meatballs until almost thoroughly cooked through (about 5-7 minutes). Add the red sauce and allow to warm through while also finish cooking the meatballs.
- Assemble the sandwiches by lightly toasting the bread and sprinkling on each of the mozzarella and parmesan cheese on one-half of the bread immediately after toasting so it slightly warms. Spoon on about 3-4 meatballs per sandwich and top with some more sauce.
