| GF HIGH PROTEIN AVOCADO TOAST |
It's easy to love avocado toast. Creamy, salty, avocado slathered on thick, crunchy bread maybe some cracked black pepper or chili flakes on top, delicious! But by now we all know protein is essential to a balanced diet and a simple avocado and bread just doesn't add up to many protein grams. The good news is this recipe gives you your avo toast and your gains too! With sneaky bites of tofu mixed into a fresh and summery corn salad, you'll be hitting your protein goals without even realizing it.
