Start with a slice of your favorite bread. I’m a huge fan of Dave’s Killer Bread. I differentiate them by colors, and I always buy the green bag.
Pop that in the toaster and while it’s toasting, mash up a little avocado (make sure it’s ripe!) You’re only using a little avocado, so I usually keep it in the fridge, and even though it will brown a little, I still use it the next day and just scrape off the top. Another great solution is to crack it open for lunch, and then use the rest for dinner that same night, like on our Fajitas, Tortilla Soup, White Chicken Chili, or one of our all-time favorites: Steak and Mango Salad. If none of those sound good, check out our Latin section or make my superfood, for your hair! If you have bottled minced garlic, I like to add a little in with my mashed avocado, along with a pinch of salt.
Spread that onto your slice of bread
and top with a few slices of red onion and a slice of bacon.
I love the pre-cooked microwave bacon by Hormel. I pretty much always have a bag like this from Costco. It’s so convenient because you can grab one slice at a time and it’s done in seconds. Plus it’s only 40 calories per slice. Totally doable on a healthy diet.
Place a lettuce leaf or a handful of spinach or other greens on your bread.
Top with a few tomato slices
And a sliced hard-boiled egg. About once a week, I cook a dozen or so hard boiled eggs in my steam oven and keep them in the fridge. My kids love them, and they’re great for chopping up on a salad or on a sandwich, like this.
To top it off sprinkle with some salt and pepper, and if you like (I like), a drizzle of our Garlic Olive Oil is the perfect finishing touch.
That took less than 5 minutes to make and it’s full of protein and whole grains and totally delicious. Bam.
