  • 3 oz cottage cheese, 4% milkfat (84 g)
  • ½ tsp paprika (1 g)
  • 2 slices whole wheat bread

Cottage cheese gives this sandwich a creamy texture and a boost of protein while keeping it light on fat. Combined with lean roast beef and fresh veggies, it makes a quick, balanced lunch that keeps you full and energized.

Preparation

  1. Cut the bell pepper into very small cubes. Finely chop the red onion.
  2. In a bowl, mix the cottage cheese, paprika, bell pepper, and onion. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Spread the bell pepper mixture on the bread slices.
  4. Top one slice with arugula, then loosely layer the roast beef.
  5. Place the second slice on top, with the bell pepper salad facing down.
  6. Cut the sandwich in half.
FitChef Tip: For extra crunch, toast the bread lightly before assembling.
