Sometimes I’m at a loss when it comes to lunch. I often end up eating breakfast food again – cereal, yogurt with granola and fruit, or a smoothie with some spinach thrown in. But these usually leave me hungry again before too long, and sometimes I want something just as quick but savory.
Recently, I’ve been hooked on whole wheat toast with avocado, salt, and chili flakes. Top this with a scrambled or fried egg, and you’ve got a healthy meal that satisfies for hours.
During summertime, I add thick tomato or cucumber slices to make this even more of a garden delight!

February 5, 2013 at 9:40 amI’m obsessed with avocados. In fact, eating 2 fried eggs and half a small avocado for breakfast right now! Avocados are great because they are so filling and I always feel healthy eating them.
