Chives for Flavor and Nutrition: Now, let’s talk chives. These little green wonders not only add a kick of flavor but also bring nutritional perks to the party. 

Mayonnaise and Greek Yogurt Combo: The dynamic duo – mayonnaise and Greek yogurt. Don’t let the rumors fool you; these two can be the good guys. They bring creaminess to the dressing and a dose of protein, making it a satisfying addition to your meal.

Extra-Virgin Olive Oil – Heart-Healthy Hero: Finally, the heart-healthy hero – extra-virgin olive oil, packed with good fats that your heart loves. Drizzle it on for flavor and that extra health boost.

And here’s the cool part – toss in some sprouts (alfalfa or broccoli) for that crunch and extra nutrition. It’s not just a sandwich; it’s a symphony of tastes and good stuff. So, if you want a sandwich that’s a total flavor and health upgrade, the Sprouted Green Goddess Protein Sandwich is your go-to.
