Bariatric Avocado Toast

I've drunk the Kool-Aid and tried the strange Millennial craze called "Avocado Toast". I like toast... and I like avocado, but honestly, I expected it to be AWFUL. What I found was that was not NEARLY the case. This stuff is GOOD!!!

Now... The only problem is THE TOAST.. Hmmm How can I enjoy this without all the carbs in the crisply toasted white bread.....

In walks Chaundra Evans, Nutritional Counselor extraordinaire. In one of our sessions she gave me a packet of Hemp Hearts. I found them crunchy and delicious. THIS is my toast substitute!!!

This recipe, if I can dare call it that, is super simple - and the PERFECT quick (instant?) breakfast


INSTRUCTIONS


  • Slice a perfectly ripe avocado in half. 
  • Remove the seed
  • Top each half with protein-rich hemp seeds, kosher salt, and some lemon juice


Gobble it up with a spoon.
Yeah, it’s that simple.

Cook's Notes:


  • If you really want to amp up the flavor, sprinkle on some of Trader Joe’s  “Everything But the Bagel” seasoning.
  • Be careful slicing open an avocado, as a slipped knife will give you a bad case of "Avocado Hand" (and yes - that's a real thing!)
