Health Notes
Mama’s sandwich is high in protein, making it a filling and satisfying meal option. The marinara sauce also contributes small amounts of vitamins from tomatoes and herbs. However, the sodium content is fairly high, especially in the Original size. Choosing the Skinny version can reduce calories by nearly one-third while still delivering the same rich flavors.
