PERFORMANCE RATING: 6+/5+
For a fast filling meal, throw this together and serve it with a light salad and some fresh fruit. You have all your nutrient bases covered. And, you’ve spent little time in the kitchen. Are you surprised it has such a high Performance Rating? This is a reminder that a few parsley flakes and a sprinkle of paprika can really power up a basic recipe. Be sure to watch the grill so you don’t overcook the bread. The one in this photo is a bit on the darker side.
A 6+/5+ Performance Rating is more than you might expect. Almond cheese provides valuable and more easily digested protein on this sandwich than dairy cheese. We think the addition of sliced tomatoes would make this even better! Hope your kids like them… look for sun-ripened ones. Thank heavens it’s summer time!
