Grilled Cheese Sandwich the Heart Healthy Way!

You probably never thought you would see these 5 words together: Heart Healthy Grilled Cheese Sandwich!


The Ingredients:
The Preparation (very straightforward)...
  1. Spray one side of each slice of bread with the butter spray. The sprayed sides are the outside of the sandwich.
  2. Sprinkle the garlic powder on the inside of once slice; sprinkle the cheese over the garlic powder; cover with the other slice.
  3. Grill until cheese melted... Easiest/less messy way to grill - use a Foreman Grill
The result: an extremely tasty sandwich with 306mg potassium, 200mg sodium and 6.8g fat [a 1.5:1 health potassium:sodium health rating]. WOW! A grilled cheese sandwich that is GOOD FOR YOUR HEART! You read it here...

Add any hearth healthy side dish to this sandwich and you will have a 2:1 to 5:1 heart healthy meal with grilled cheese as the main course (e.g., a banana, an orange, a vegetable medley, brown rice & broccoli, etc).

Did I say wow?!?! ... WOW!

    Hi Brad,

    Healthline just published a visualization of your daily value of sodium. In the chart, you can see what half of your DV of salt looks like for 30 foods: http://www.healthline.com/health/high-blood-pressure-hypertension/daily-value-sodium

    This is very valuable content as it puts nutrition information into perspective and helps a person understand how much sodium is actually in their food. I thought this would be of interest to your audience and wanted to see if you would include this as a resource on your page: http://health-lessons.blogspot.com/2011/01/grilled-cheese-sandwich-heart-healthy.html

    If you do not believe this would be a good fit for a resource on your site, even sharing this on your social communities would be a great alternativeto help get the word out.

    Thanks for your time reviewing. Please let me know your thoughts and if there are any questions I can answer.

    All the best,
