Carrot Cake Sandwich


What are your favorite portable meals?

Sandwiches are one example of an easy and portable meal component, because they’re not too messy, and they don’t need to stay cold. But one can only eat so many plain-jane peanut butter sandwiches before it gets old. (Oh forget that; I could eat pb sandwiches every day for the next hundred years and not get sick of them.) One day last week, for the sake of variety—and because experimentation is so much fun—I strayed from the pb-sandwich road, with this:

Carrot Cake Sandwich

  • Shredded carrot
  • Raisins
  • Crushed walnuts
  • Cinnamon
  • Cream cheese, such as Tofutti OR coconut butter or Cheesecake Mousse
  • sweetener of choice, if desired

Close it all up in a whole wheat pita and you’re good to go.

    My favorite on-the-go food is a sammie with almond butter and fresh strawberries or PB with sliced bananas…I could eat one at every meal, lol!! 🙂

    I could eat PB sandwiches everyday too! But that carrot cake sandwich looks damn good.

  5. Kate says:

    I’m with you! My main on the go, no refrigeration available meal is usually PB&J, carrots and an apple!

    If there’s refrigeration/microwave, it will be soup or yogurt instead of a sandwich!

  7. Katie says:

    I always have an apple rolling around in my purse – just in case I get hangry with no food around. 😉

    Lara Bars & Raw Revolution Bars are my usual stash in the tote bag if I’m on the go. But a green smoothie in a travel mug is a big favorite for me too.
