Avocados are a staple in my diet, so I like to find new ways to eat them. Don’t get me wrong, I love a perfectly ripe avocado with a little pink Himalayan seat salt and black pepper. That’s my go to snack! But this Smashed White Bean and Avocado Open-Face Sandwich is so hearty, you can enjoy it for lunch.
This works best with a ripe avocado. The beans and avocado combine easily by mashing with the back of a fork. Combine until the consistency of your liking is reached. I personally like it a little chunky.
The beauty of this sandwich is that it requires simple ingredients. However, all of these ingredients are incredibly nutrient dense. My favorite addition to any sandwich, salad, or wrap with sprouts. Broccoli sprouts happen to be my favorite; they are amazing for your health. These sprouts contain sulforaphane, which is a cancer-fighting compound. They contain 10-100x as much sulforaphane than regular broccoli plants!
Don’t be afraid to pile everything on! The avocado and beans stick to the bread, so you don’t have to worry about anything sliding off when you take a bite.
