This breakfast can certainly be modified in many ways using ingredients you have on hand. We just can’t ever use up a loaf of bread (gluten free and packed with nutrients of course!) before it goes bad. Breads can be frozen, but I have a very finicky hubby. The best and easiest swap for me is to use wild rice cakes. My favorite brand is Lundsberg and I find the organic wild rice holds together better than the brown rice variety. Remember every nutritious meal consists of a good clean protein, a healthy fat and some fiber. This packs them all into a lovely little meal that is great as a post workout snack too!
Here is my current version of my favorite easy to take or make at work breakfast!
- Organic rice cake
- Avocado
- Applegate nitrate free turkey
- Sprouts (i’m currently using radish sprouts for a little kick)
- Sliced tomato
Simply spread the avocado over the rice cake (about a 1/3 of an avocado usually does it). Top with a slice or 2 of turkey, a handful of sprouts, and sliced tomato.
Fun Fact:
Avocados are full of fiber (surprised?), rich in potassium, as well as a good source of magnesium, manganese, iron, and many of the B vitamins. Did you know they also have about 4-5 grams of protein?
