Blog/Recipes/My Crazy-Week Sandwich

I don’t know about you, but some days are so busy that self-care becomes the last thing on my mind.

When those days turn into weeks, things like working out and eating right tend to slip off my radar—even though they should be my top priority!

That’s why, during these extra-hectic times, I rely on meals that require the absolute minimum effort. This sandwich is my lifesaver—it’s quick, fresh, and keeps me on track without the stress.

I actually discovered it on a day when I hadn’t gone grocery shopping, and these were the only ingredients I had. Since then, it’s become a staple in my hectic-day lineup.
