Breakfast or lunch; vegan, gluten-free options
The avocado is truly a celebrated fruit for most everyone and oh the endless ways to use them. Here is a remake on the proverbial McMuffin - you never eat anything McDonalds do you? That’s not food and once you’ve had ‘real food’ as the mainstay of your diet, there is zero temptation to eat foods like that ever.

TERI’S TIPS:
- Not an avocado fan? Sub in tomatoes, raw or sautéed mushrooms or roasted eggplant, zucchini or peppers.
- Add slivered greens such as arugula (a fave addition)
- Make this open faced and garnish as above adding a sassy drizzle of balsamic reduction
- Add additional protein with beans of your choice scattered over the pesto
