Ingredients
- 1 slice sandwich bread
- ½ avocado
- ¼ lemon
- garlic powder

Instructions
- Toast the bread.
- Cut your avocado while the bread toasts.

Notes
Use a tasty, not-bland bread. I usually use a whole grain or seeded bread, something hearty. Gluten-free bread should work fine.
An avocado is ripe if it has a little give when you press it near the stem. Only use ripe avocados.
Fresh lemon juice is best, but bottled lemon juice should be okay in a pinch.
Calorie count calculated in MyNetDiary and will vary considerably depending on the calories in your bread. ½ avocado is 161 calories, and my slice of bread is 120.
Adapted loosely from what I remember of Smitten Kitchen's Avocado Toast recipe.
