Every morning we try to start our day with healthy food. Most of us either end up having a heavy breakfast with lots of carbs or eat very minimally to keep fats out of our diet. However both the trends are considered to be extremely dangerous and can prove to be harmful for our body in the long run. Yet, some of us try to have a healthy breakfast but make the preparation a very long and tiring affair.

Sandwich is a dish that is mostly eaten for snacks, but at the same time it can be substituted for breakfast. However while planning to have sandwich for breakfast, we need to be extra conscious as lots of cheese goes in for making a tasty sandwich. In order to get the balance between both our diet and intake of cheese, we can make the best use of veggies.

Sandwich prepared with healthy vegetables like onions, capsicum and carrots are no doubt considered to be a healthy breakfast. This recipe is ideal for those who are planning to have a healthy yet low calorie breakfast.
