Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Whole grain or high protein bread
- 0.5 medium Avocado
- 0.5 cup Soft cheese (ricotta or cottage cheese)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Arugula or spinach
- 1 small Tomato
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Chia seeds (optional)
Instructions
Start by toasting the whole grain or high protein bread slices to your desired level of crispiness.
While the bread is toasting, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh into a bowl. Use a fork to mash the avocado until smooth.
Add the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the mashed avocado and mix well to combine. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Thinly slice the tomato. If using, wash and pat dry the arugula or spinach leaves.
Once the bread is toasted, spread the soft cheese evenly over one side of each bread slice.
On one slice of bread, layer the mashed avocado mixture, followed by slices of tomato and the arugula or spinach leaves.
Optional step: Sprinkle chia seeds over the arugula or spinach for an additional protein boost.
Drizzle the olive oil over the top to add a slight richness and keep the sandwich moist.
Top with the other slice of bread, cheese side down, pressing gently to hold the sandwich together.
Slice the sandwich in half, if desired, and serve immediately.
