Avocado, Tomato and Kale Sprout Sandwich
We fought the flu and the flu won. Just starting to get back on my feet again. Yesterday was my first day out and about. Being not quite myself I shortly realized that I was finding fault with everything. The city bus that passed was dirty, people were driving crazy and the parking lot where I shopped needed the garbage dumped. Normally I do not believe or think this way and when I realized it I laughed out loud, clearly not quite one hundred percent. This got me to thinking how it must feel to feel bad all the time, obviously I do not have the fortitude.
Check out the sandwich that helped me and hopefully will help you feel healthier, one of my favorites.
For 2 people
Ingredients:
4 slices of your favorite bread (I used whole wheat)
1 large avocado
1 large handful sprouts (I used kale sprouts from whole foods)
1 small tomato (sliced horizontal)
Other great toppings to add:
Sliced cheese, red onion, any type of lettuce, sprouts, chickpeas, cucumbers.
To prepare:
Scoop and mash avocado, divide into fourths, spread onto each slice of bread, add sprouts and tomato. Lightly press 2 sides together, cut into half. Enjoy!
So sorry you have been under the weather. I'm going to be if I don't get some rest and move some things off my table. Too much to do, every single day. Anyway - enough of my sorrows! Your sandwich would be perfect any time of the day - love it! Get well :)
ReplyDeleteHi Tricia, hope you don't get sick it seems to be a real doozy this year. Feeling better each day. Thanks.
DeleteI think this sandwich could help anyone. My doctor actually made me get the flu shot this year. Here is hoping that Manservant does not get the flu, because I am not a good nurse! Feel better soon!

DeleteIt is no fun to being sick. I am glad that you are feeling better. Your sandwich looks healthy and yummy, I am sure it will help you to a full recovery.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dawn, yes it did help especially when avocado happens to be one of my favorite foods. Have a great week-end!
DeleteI'm sorry to hear you haven't been well. You certainly do make a very wonderful looking sandwich. I think we all have days where we're a bit fault finding and negative - you're lucky you snap out of it quickly xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Charlie, most of the time I am pretty positive, though apparently not when feeling not quite myself. Take care!
DeleteGlad to hear you're feeling better, Cheri. I know what you mean about all the little things getting under your skin when you're not feeling well. Good that you recognized that and could laugh at it. Life is so much easier when we can laugh at ourselves, isn't it? I love this sandwich - lots of flavor and crunch - delicious!
ReplyDeleteI agree Robyn, sometimnes laughing at one's self quickly deflates the negative.
DeleteCheri -- nice to meet you and I hope you are getting better. This is totally one of my favorite sandwich combinations - avocado and greens. I like to throw in some cheese -- we eat it at least once a week. Sort of like health on a sandwich!
ReplyDeleteHi Queen Sashy, I agree, yes cheese is always great too!
DeleteOh that flu has gotten to so many this year - so sorry it hit your house but glad you are feeling better. My daughter had it pretty bad (lost 10 pounds in a week!)but has rebounded nicely. This type of veggie sandwich is one of my favorites. I have never tried kale sprouts but grow sprouts in my kitchen most of the year - love them!
ReplyDeleteHi Mindy, will try your sprouting methods, looks like there are beans you can sprout too. Take care!
DeleteSo glad you're on the mend! Your sandwich looks just my style---and I have to admit, I'm a little envious of your beautiful red tomatoes :)
ReplyDeleteHi Liz, we have a local organic farmer here is AZ that grows tomatoes in a greenhouse in the winter. They are delicious.
DeleteThis is a great sandwich! It would make everyone fell better! Hope you are getting better Cheri...xo
ReplyDeleteThanks Anna and Liz, I am much better.
DeleteI hope you are doing well. This sandwich looks so so beautiful and delicious :-) lovely combo!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kushi, feeling great!
DeleteSorry to hear that you were no well. Hope you are doing great now! The flavors going on here are just incredible! YUM!
ReplyDeleteThanks Anu! appreciate you stopping by.
DeleteWhen you're sick, it really reminds you that nothing matters quite as much as being healthy...and the feeling that you might never get better again is the pits. Hope you are well on your feet and feeling cheerful again. A healthy meal definitely sounds in order. I'll take a couple of these sandwiches any day!
ReplyDeleteThanks Monica, feeling better now, amazing what a week of rest will do.
DeleteI have to try kale sprouts, I love that idea. Great sandwich, I hopw you're feeling much better now Cheri. GG
ReplyDeleteHi GG, hope you get a chance to try the kale sprouts they really are delicious. Take care!
DeleteYum! I love healthy sandwiches like this!
ReplyDeleteThanks Nancy!
DeleteI usually see sandwiches as something I shouldn't eat too often as they don't seem too healthy, but this one breaks the mold!
ReplyDeleteI love how you've stuffed it full of all those lovely wholesome ingredients. Delicious!
Thanks Helen, hope you are having a great week-end!
DeleteWhat perfect picnic sandwiches! I am glad you are on the mend! Happy Valentine's Day!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you are feeling better, Cheri! I know exactly what you mean about when you first go out after being sick. The first time I went out, half way through the trip I felt like I didn't have the energy to continue. It got better each day, though. I feel so sorry for people who don't feel good all the time, too. There are people that I see at the grocery store, that I am amazed they made it there. Anyway, sorry it took me so long to say that sandwich looks so delicious to me. I love avocado and sprouts. It reminds me of the sandwich I always order at Sprouts Grocery store. I am glad it helped you feel better!
