Put Your Lunch Face On

After work yesterday, I made myself an open faced sandwich!

I have never mixed avocado and hummus but I saw a recipe for an appetizer that did it, so I thought why not try it in a sandwich!

1• I began by roasting a thick tomato slice and toasting a piece of whole wheat bread.
2• After my bread was toasted, I added 1/4 mashed avocado in top, and then added 1 tbsp of Trader Joes eggplant hummus.
3• I like mesquite turkey, but any lean meat will work (or no meat at all too!). I used 4 slices of turkey breast, adding some good lean protein.
4• Top the turkey with a small amount of arugula, the roasted tomato slice ad a sprinkle of black pepper.

A fresh tomato will work well also, but roasting it for a couple minutes adds a little sweetness and warmth that I really enjoy on this sandwich.

That's it! How easy was that?

This open faced sandwich has good protein, whole grains, healthy fat, and fiber!

Mmmmm

Lemon Cucumber Infused Water

When I was at Starbucks this morning I tried the egg white, feta and spinach wrap (~300 calories) and I really liked it! I have nonfat feta, spinach, and eggs at home so I can make an egg scramble with.

Before I left for work I was getting lunch together. I made a big salad and for a snack I made carrots with eggplant hummus. I had a bunch of lemon, limes and cucumbers I need to use up in my fridge so I decided to add some lemon and cucumber slices to my water!

I'm sure I have talked about it before, but Trader Joe's eggplant hummus is so delicious! I love it with veggie sticks.
