A Reuben sandwich ranges between 600 to 1000 calories when ordered in a restaurant. Corned Beef is the center of this sandwich, so we didn’t eliminate it. The good news is that corned beef is rich and flavorful, so a little goes a long way. If you don’t have access to good corned beef – you can smart swap to Pastrami, Ham, Prosciutto, Pepperoni – and for a Vegan option, there’s a really good Vegan Prosciutto on the market.
By eating this as a bowl, you get all the flavors of a great Reuben without the calories of bread and the disproportionately large serving of meat and we still satisfy with an extra flavorful dressing, cheese, and spices.
