If you follow my blog posts on a regular basis you know that I am super picky about what I put in my body.  I like to eat organic whenever possible, especially when it comes to products/ingredients that are notoriously GMO (genetically modified) or filled with preservatives.

Oroweat recently asked me to review their line of organic breads and come up with an ultimate sandwich.  Even though they sent me coupons to try the bread and a gift card to buy ingredients for an ultimate sandwich, it was a no brainer to review the bread.  Not only is this bread already a staple in our household, it has been approved by my pickiest eaters, and more importantly by me.

The bread comes in two varieties, Grains & Seeds and Whole Wheat.  Both are fantastic, and made with all USDA certified organic ingredients.  *There are only 17g of carbs in each slice (, making it friendly to my carb counters.  *No high fructose corn syrup, and 3g of fiber.  The slices have a wonderful texture and hearty in size.  Best of all I buy it at my nearby Target.  No need to go to a specialty store to buy a healthy, delicious bread option.  Click here to find a store near you!

I was challenged to create an ultimate sandwich using the organic line of breads.  I love my sandwiches.  Since lunch is when I eat the highest amount of carbs, sandwiches are usually what I gravitate to.  They fill me up and keep me happy till snack time around 3 p.m.

I personally am super sick of turkey sandwiches at this point.  I know the barrage of turkey is happening again in a couple of weeks, so I decided to take another route.  After much thought, I decided to go with a Greek Chicken Salad Sandwich.

I’m so glad I went with a Mediterranean inspired sandwich.  It was easy to make and woke up my taste buds. This sandwich is a protein powerhouse with chicken, hummus and greek yogurt based tzatziki sauce.  The addition of cucumbers, roasted red bell peppers and spinach make the sandwich crunchy and nutrient dense.

In case you are wondering, this sandwich is an awesome addition to any lunch box.  I made one, stuck it in my sandwich container and left it in the fridge.  Four hours later when I went to eat it, it was exactly the same as the one I made fresh.  That is huge to me, I strongly dislike soggy sandwiches.
