When I started going to Weight Watchers fifteen years ago, I needed to lose 40 pounds. It took almost 8 months, but I lost every pound.
Over the years I’ve managed to maintain that weight loss, give or take a few pounds. Posting healthy recipes to this blog helps tremendously, and it doesn’t hurt that I receive packages on my front porch packed with delicious foods to try.
Flatout Greek Shrimp Sandwich
I’ve used Flatout Flatbread for years now. Many of their products use whole grains, and are low in calories and fat. This makes it possible to put together all kinds of delicious sandwich recipes for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Imagine my pleasure when this time the box on my porch was packed to the brim with Flatout products, including the Artisan FOLDit flatbreads you see here.
These tasty sandwich wrappings are higher in fiber than the typical hamburger bun, have fewer calories and about the same amount of fat. They used refined flours rather than the whole grains they use in their other breads, but the rosemary and olive oil worked so well with my Greek inspired shrimp, that I made a concession this time.
Flatout Shrimp Sandwich
The company sent several varieties, so we tried a Canadian bacon and spinach panini the next day. Both were family pleasing sandwich recipes.
Flatout Ham Panini
Thank you Flatout! My family and I enjoy your products and appreciate the opportunity to give new breads a try. If you’d like to give Flatout Flatbreads a try, you can find them with their store locator.
Happy cooking!

Anytime, and thank you so much for the wonderful food. My family thanks you too.
yummy looking healthy sandwiches
I love those flatout breads! And I’m dying to make a panini…I should do that soon.
The Canadian bacon and spinach was really good, and the bread came out crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside. Very good.
You’re amazing! That’s fantastic – what a great sandwich!

Thanks Belinda!!
Thanks for the recipe. It is really healthy for all. Flatout breads are interesting and thanks for adding the store locator, too!

You bet. I like that websites add store locators. It’s tough when you find a product you like, then have no idea where to find it.
YUM!!! What incredible flavors.
Love this recipe and your healthy blog! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
Kristi, bravo on losing 40Lbs and keeping it off! You make me stop and think about slimmer alternatives when I am putting together a recipe. Lovely photo of the shrimp. I don’t think to put this lovely seafood in a sandwich, but I will in future.

Thank you Hester. It was a long time ago, but it was surely an accomplishment. Give it a try when you can, my husband loved it. Have a wonderful week.
I think this sounds wonderful. A few pounds to give and take is a drop in the bucket after 40. That’s alot of weight to lose Kristi -

It was, but I’ve always love food (like that isn’t obvious) so I’ll always have to watch it.
It looks so good! Thanks for sharing.

I’ve tried their rosemary one and really liked it. It was good with chicken salad. Love your shrimp recipe, will have to try it soon!
It really did have terrific flavor, just wish the ingredients were whole grain.
Looks delicious, thinking of trying it and maybe adding a bit of ouzo and/or garlic to the shrimps. That would give a bit more “Greek Style”. Not sure however how well it would work with the lettuce.
Jim @ Shrimp Calories recently posted..Hello world!
Now that’s an awesome idea! I’ll be trying that myself.
This looks really great! Although, I’ve never enjoyed flat out wraps. I tried them on weight watchers too. I found they tasted chemically. Obviously they have changed?? Maybe I should try them again!

We all have different tastes. My husband thinks curry tastes like soap, and I love curry.
I like their Italian bread with a low cal Caesar chicken salad filling.
Oh my gosh! I love this recipe!!! What a great idea for a fun lunch or light dinner. Thanks so much for sharing.

I like the flat-out bread as well, but I now make my own whole-wheat bread. I love your sandwich ideas! Thanks!
I have a bread machine that I love. I often use it to make pizza dough (whole wheat of course). I hadn’t thought about making my own flatbread. I’ll have to google a recipe.
Great looking panini
I’ll have to investigate this flatbread 
Here’s hoping they operate international!

I really like their Italian flatbread. I don’t know if they’re international, but hope they are too!
This post made me realize many things. I need to go back to working out (congrats on the weight loss), I havent made shrimp this summer yet, and i miss flatout bread..that stuff is delicious!!!
danielle recently posted..Product Review: Ice Cream Ball – It works folks!
Thank you. It’s the exercise that I really think helps, don’t you?
Ohhh I love flatout!! For my clients it tends to be a great for their conversion to whole grain products since they taste soooo good!
They have a nice variety too, don’t you think?
This looks soooooooooooooo good.

The rosemary and olive oil sound fantastic, especially as a pannini.
sandra recently posted..Buttermilk Pound Cake
I have to say that I love good panini, and my grill doesn’t needed added fat to make the sandwich taste great!
These look delicious! I’ve tried the flat out wraps before and really liked them.
There is something about pita style bread! Yum!

I can’t wait to try this recipe at home. It looks delicious! And I love that its such a great source of fiber.
I really like their flatbreads better than the artisan breads since they have a higher fiber content, but the artisan breads were really delicious too.
Thanks for sharing! Fiber is so important yet 9 out of 10 Americans aren’t getting enough. I love finding foods that are good sources of this important nutrient.
I would agree.
I was wondering if you could provide me with any dislikes about the WW program. I’m just trying to see how I could improve my own program someday (when I eventually start my own business).

Robert recently posted..Olive Garden Restaurants – Delicious Authentic Italian-American Food
Congratulations on losing and keeping off the weight! I love the greek shrimp sandwich and think that the flatbread makes it even more exciting. I got to get me some of those!
They really are good. I have to say I like their original version of flatbread the best though. They’re higher in fiber and lower in calories.
I have never found flatout bread in the seattle area. Can you tell me which grocery store you buy it from and which aisle?
Thanks!
I’ve found them at Costco, Albertsons, QFC and Safeway. Here a link to their page that searches for stores in your area. Flatout Store locations.
