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.

    Ok, when I saw this string of Katies/Kates, I just had to comment on my own post, to make it 5 in a row ;). Sheesh, I’d been under the impression that “Jessica” was the most popular name in the blogworld… but now I might have to change my opinion. Hello all you other wonderful people with the best name 😉 ;)!

    Aahhh that looks so good. On the go, anything I don’t have to prepare. I grab an apple or leftovers outta the fridge and I’m good to goo.

  5. Marina says:

    Tomorrow I’m going on a road trip, and I thought about making something like this actually! 🙂
    But, my bf has already prepared my sandwiches, so this will just have to wait:))

    Love the sandwich idea. My on the go meal is probably yogurt and fruit, but if it is a quickie dinner than a Amy’s bean burrito is good because I can heat it and take it with me.

    I love the idea of dessert in sandwich form! 😀

    I pretty much consider anything to be on-the-go. As long as you have tupperware…

    Brilliant sammie Katie. Sounds delicious.

    My favorite on the go-food is probably chips or trail mix. Love almond butter sandwiches as well. 🙂
