Instead of reaching for the quickest thing you can find this week when your belly starts growling for a snack, try whipping up one of these great variations on avocado toast! There are endless ways to prepare it and it contains healthy fats to keep you fuller longer!!
Ingredients:
1 ripe avocado
Lemon, for squeezing
Sea salt
2 to 4 slices toasted rye bread (or bread of your choice)

Instructions:
Halve the avocado vertically and remove the pit. Use a small knife to dice the avocado flesh while it's still inside the skin. Season the flesh with a squeeze of lemon juice and sprinkle it with sea salt.
Scoop the diced avocado flesh out of the skin and onto the toasted bread. Mash the avocado with the back of a fork and top with your desired toppings.
