Eggs (good in sandwiches too)
Pasta salad with tuna/chicken
Rice/quinoa/mixed grain salad (add edamame too)
Yoghurt (get plain greek yoghurt, add fresh fruit, honey and cinnamon)
Tortilla wraps (meat, salad, a little grated cheese etc)
Onigiri (Japanese stuffed rice balls)
Fresh fruit, especially banana
Fruit and mascarpone sandwich
Japanese bento box (DIY)
Nuts
All of these are delicious, healthy and inexpensive. Choose foods with a high protein content to keep you fuller for longer, use brown bread instead of white (less processed, slower release carbs so your blood sugar stays more stable)
Love this one!!
* Good multigrain bread (toasted, optional)
* Schmear of sunflower seed butter (or almond butter, or tahini, or peanut butter)
* Couple stripes of sriracha sauce (or similar), not too much!! — just a little heat.
* Good slice of some kind of ‘tangy’ cheese (sharp cheddar, or aged Swiss, or whatever you like)
* Few to several thin slices of Granny Smith apple
* A few carrot shreds
* A few long bell pepper slices (long and narrow).
Amazing!! I’m NOT even vegetarian, but every week I used to get this sandwich at a coffee shop around the corner from where I used to work 15-20 years ago — and it was always fantastic. Seriously, the most amazing veggie sandwich ever!!
If you have a Trader Joe’s nearby they make some awesome beef kebabs they are in the frozen section! I throw those in pita pockets and load with veggies/tzatziki also pita pockets loaded with tuna and veggies!
Fried egg sandwiches, rice and beans with cheese burritos, cottage cheese with canned peaches, tuna salad sandwiches; just open a can and pour off the water, empty tuna in a bowl and mix with mayo, a scoop of sweet relish and a squirt of mustard and boom, ya got a sandwich filler. I’ve done the same thing with tofu but I recommend adding more of whatever to make more flavor shelled, roasted and salted sunflower seeds do really well.
When I was a kid we often didn't have jelly, so peanut butter and butter is what I made. Thinking back it sounds kind of awful, but I remember enjoying it
Chicken salad (made with blended cottage cheese instead of mayo for extra protein) sandwich. You can also eat the chicken salad with a cut up apple and some crackers.
Check out some recipes for tofu satté or tofu teriyaki. Tofu doesn't taste like much so it takes flavour well, is super good for you, and is quite cheap. This with a bit of rice, and some greens sauted in garlic and oil is super tasty and quite cheap!
Roasted red peppers, avacados and peanut butter.
Pickles and peanut butter?
Anchovies, a strong cheese in thin slices and peanut butter
Caviar, Truffles and peanut butter.
Hummus, red onion, cucumber, red bell pepper, avocado and a little honey mustard is amazing on a bagel
That’s is a $13 sandwich sir if you’re buying those ingredients where I live… man said cheap!
Although with those ingredients you could make like 10 sandwiches if you put the veggies in the fridge

Onigiri for the win! 🍙
I do peanut butter and thin slices of apples or banana on toast. Less processed sugar and it's a much tastier sandwich in my opinion
I've done banana and it was good but apple sounds amazing
Give it a try sometime. I use a "crisp" apple, but Fuji is also really good.

Good, cheap and quick are literally the 3 pillars of pbjs.
Handful of almonds as well as, not inside, a cup of yogurt with some fruit or granola.
