Avocado egg salad

Okay! In general I do not care much for eggs.  However, since they are such a great source of protein I try to make them delicious (duh) so I will eat them more.


*2 tablespoons of avocado
* 2 large hard boiled eggs, yolks removed
*1 slice turkey bacon, chopped
*1 slice Ezekiel bread, toasted
* handful of arugula 
* salt and pepper to taste

Take the egg whites, avocado and bacon and fork mash in a bowl.  Salt and pepper to tast...sometimes I add balsamic vinegar... Top toast with arugula, then egg mixture.  Serve with side of fruit.

**If you are currently following the PiYo meal plans, this would be 1 serving protein, 1 healthy fat, 1 secondary/grain, 1 serving fruit, 1/4 serving primary veggies..roughly
