I used to frequent a coffee shop while in college. We would drop in multiple times a week if not sometimes daily. While studying and writing papers I would get a fatty bagel with the choice of unlimited toppings. They made their own bagels which makes everything taste better.
This brings back such memories every time I make it at home realizing I used to be a naive college gal just drinking coffee and gaining the freshman 15. Although, it wasn’t just my freshman year to gain weight, it did get less as the years progressed. :) I realized through staying up late your metabolism kicks in overtime asking for more food and with little sleep your body simply can’t process all the calories without gaining weight. Double edge sword. You think you are invincible in college and come to find out, the only invincible part to college was your classes; no way around them.
So, with those college days in mind, here is a great recipe for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
Ingredients:
Serves 2
- 2 Bagels
- Cream Cheese
- 2 Avocados
- 2 Tomatoes, sliced
Optional Toppings:
- Sprouts
- Cucumbers
- Bacon
Toast your bagel and in a small bowl mix cream cheese and avocado together. Spread on top of bagel.
May leave sandwich open faced or closed. I prefer open faced as this is how they served them at the coffee shop.
Top with tomatoes and basil or any remaining toppings you prefer.
