    What Makes a Great Keto Sandwich?

    When it comes to keto sandwiches, the key is finding substitutes for traditional bread while still keeping the flavors you love. Think about high-protein, low-carb ingredients like grilled meats, cheeses, and keto-friendly veggies. As for bread, try substitutes like lettuce wraps, almond flour buns, or cloud bread. They hold up well to fillings without the extra carbs.
