It is this love for sandwiches – and the major guilt that so many of us feel by indulging in them – that provided the inspiration for Flora Light’s latest venture.
Having learned that 50% of Ireland’s mums feel guilty for indulging in a sandwich, and 73% would prefer their sandwiches to be low in calories, Flora Light has teamed up with TV presenter Lucy Kennedy to curate a range of five sandwiches to answer our prayers.
As a busy working mum-of-two, our Mummy Blogger Lucy is all-too familiar with the challenge to create new and exciting lunchtime options for the family, and she has ensured that everything from the family picnic to the ‘quick-fix’ are covered in these five delicious recipes.
With Flora Light’s recent survey revealing that many mums are spending up to €5,200 annually on shop-bought sandwiches, these mouth-watering ideas will not only save time but they will also save money.
Commenting on her new collaboration, Lucy said: “I’ve a pretty hectic lifestyle; I’m usually chauffeuring the kids to school, football and swimming, then I’m in studio for a few hours a day. We have a canteen in work which gets very same-y, so I love taking five minutes out of the madness to knock together a tasty sambo for myself and the kids. Nothing brings a smile to a face like a delicious sandwich!”
We can’t wait to try out these sandwich suggestions; check some of them out below.
