Lighter Avocado BLT

Lighter Avocado BLT Sandwich

It’s hard to beat a perfectly made BLT sandwich, that is, until you take it to the next level with some amazing flavor combinations.  This sandwich is easy to prepare and takes a few minutes to make. This recipe is great to make ahead of time or to share with a friend.

Summer is a great time to lighten up traditional recipes.  Substituting an ingredient or two for a better option is not only ideal for consistent eating habits but often is just as satisfying as the original recipe, without all the added calories.  For this recipe, I’ve greatly reduced the amount calories in the traditional mayonnaise-slathered BLT and substituted it with equally creamy and rich Greek yogurt.  The flavor is more light, refreshing and idea for lunch or dinner.  By switching a few key ingredients like the bread and mayonnaise, this sandwich is something I don’t feel guilty about eating.

The Orowheat® Sandwich Thins I’ve used in this recipe is a better option than traditional bread.  Not only does it have fewer calories and a lower SmartPoints^® value than regular bread but there are a variety of different flavors which makes it easier to switch up sandwich options everyday without getting tired of the same ole thing.  I love to make a strawberry, spinach and avocado sandwich or switch it up with a chicken, Greek yogurt and grape sandwich.  Eating smarter makes me feel better about the food I’m snacking on everyday.

Because I work from home but am always busy in the kitchen or taking photos in the studio, I like to snack on-the-go.  This Light and low-moisture mozzarella string cheese is the perfect serving for a light, portion controlled snack in the afternoon.  It has less fat than regular cheese and is made with real milk.  The string cheese has 1 SmartPoint® value per serving which makes it the ideal snack.

To make this a complete meal, serve it with Weight Watchers® Light Mozzarella String Cheese and a portion controlled, individually wrapped, Weight Watchers® Peanut Butter Brownie Bliss Mini Brownies as an occasional dessert.

Walmart® has a variety of Weight Watchers® endorsed products which is always where I get mine.  There is an iBotta offer available up to $4 on the products.
