This is one of my favorite meals, especially when I’m on the go or just don’t feel like cooking. It’s quick, super-easy, and nutrient-dense.

I’ve eaten this for lunch, dinner, a snack, and even breakfast when I’m really hungry.

Smear 2 slices hearty whole grain bread with hummus or Vegenaise (I’m not a vegan, but this stuff is way healthier than regular mayo, and super delicious too). Add ½ of a sliced avocado, 1 roasted red pepper, and a small handful arugula.

Tip to keep the other half (unused portion) of your avocado from turning brown: Tightly wrap in plastic wrap, making sure the plastic is touching every exposed part of the avocado flesh. Refrigerate. It won’t turn brown.

Sometimes I add mustard to this sandwich too, freshly ground black pepper, tuna salad, or “tuna salad” (make the tuna salad how you normally would, but substitute canned chickpeas for the canned tuna).

For a super-antioxidant boost, enjoy with a side of blueberries or cherries - they're in season now!

***I must give my sister, Sarah, credit for this recipe. Ever since she made it for me, I haven’t stopped making it for myself. Thank you!!!
