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.

    We always make carrot cake oats, but never thought of a carrot cake sandwich. That will have to be something new to add to the list to try this week. On the go we eat cliff bars, egg spinach wrap, or a lean pocket.

    Your carrot cake sammie looks so good! I bet it was even better than the pizza. 🙂

    I like stuffing wheat tortillas with hummus and veggies for an on the go meal.

    My favorite on the go fare is usually some homemade “larabars”… and now fudge babies have been added as well! I also am a huge fan of PB & honey and PB & banana w/ cinnamon sandwiches! I kinda like when the bread gets a bit soggy

    Oh that looks so easy and awesome!

    My fave sammich on the go is a salad pita– spinach, carrots, broccoli, hummus, pita. Yum!!! When I need less mess, I’ll go for the PB & naner combo.

    I’m curious, do you have any problems going into a restaurant and bringing your own food??

    Anything with nut butters or spreads in wraps is my favorite on the go food. Carrot cake sandwich – genius!
