Overview
Why it works
The ultimate lazy lunch. A can of tuna and a ripe avocado on toast hits every macro in 5 minutes flat.
- Tuna is the cheapest high-quality protein in the supermarket.
- Avocado supplies monounsaturated fats for hormones.
- Sourdough delivers slow carbs without spiking blood sugar.
Ingredients
Ingredients · 1 servings
- 1 can (140 g) tuna in water, drained
- 1/2 ripe avocado
- 2 slices sourdough
- 1 tbsp Greek yogurt or mayo
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- Red pepper flakes
- Microgreens
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
Step by step
- 1
Drop the sourdough slices into a toaster and toast until golden brown and the surface is firm and slightly crunchy.
- 2
While the bread toasts, halve the avocado, remove the pit and scoop the flesh into a small bowl.
- 3
Mash the avocado with a fork to your preferred texture, then season with lemon juice, salt and pepper.
- 4
Drain most of the water from the tuna can, leaving just a little moisture; tip the tuna into a separate bowl and mix in the Greek yogurt or mayo until combined.
- 5
Spread the mashed avocado generously over both slices of toast right to the edges.
- 6
Spoon the tuna mixture on top of the avocado, dividing it evenly.
- 7
Pile the microgreens on top, then finish with a pinch of red pepper flakes and a final crack of black pepper.
