The veggie sandwich with cheese and sprouts was very popular here in the 70s and 80s, but i don’t remember it having a special name.

There was a chain called Cultures that specialized in sandwiches with wholegrain breads and alfalfa sprouts, a fruit yogurt smoothies, that was quite popular in Canada from around 1980-2000ish.
I don’t have a NYT subscription anymore- for those who do
