That's Fit

For those of you who know your way around a kitchen, you're at a bit of an advantage over the rest of us when it comes to whipping up some healthy food.

No word of a lie, two nights ago I actually screwed up Jello. How is that even possible? Evidently, it is -- because I somehow pulled it off. My goal was to make something tasty without throwing my meal plan into a tailspin. That was my plan, anyway. The result of that plan was a bowl of half-solidified raspberry Jello and red colored water. My culinary incompetence is the reason why I always get excited when I come across recipes for easy to make healthy snacks and meals. That's why I've been pretty psyched about trying this one for avocado toast, which I found in the Celebrity Diet Secrets book released by Men's Health.

To make avocado toast, you need:

• 2 tsp of honey mustard
• 2 slices of whole-grain bread
• 1/2 avocado, peeled and sliced
• 1/2 tomato, thinly sliced
• 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
• 4 fresh basil leaves
• 1/2 tbsp ground flaxseed

To turn all these ingredients into a healthy snack (11g protein, 44g carbs, 14g fiber, 2.5 fat), spread the honey mustard on each slice of toast. Next, layer on the avocado and tomato and then drizzle it with oil. Top with basil, flaxseed, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Voila!! A healthy snack. Amazing!!
