Total time: 25 min
Ingredients: 8 slices center-cut bacon, halved; 1 ripe medium avocado; 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil; 1 tablespoon mayonnaise; ½ teaspoon finely grated or minced garlic; ¼ teaspoon salt; ¼ teaspoon ground pepper; 8 slices sprouted-wheat bread; 1 medium tomato, cut into 8 slices; 4 romaine leaves; 1 cup alfalfa sprouts

In this healthy BLT recipe, we use a creamy avocado spread flavored with garlic and basil, and add sprouts. Look for sprouted-wheat bread in the frozen section or with other specialty breads at your grocery store.

Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.


Meanwhile, mash avocado in a medium bowl. Stir in basil, mayonnaise, garlic, salt and pepper. Toast bread.


Spread about 2 tablespoons of the avocado mixture on 4 slices of toast. Top each with 4 pieces of bacon, 2 tomato slices, 1 lettuce leaf, 1/4 cup sprouts and the remaining toast.


This is an adult sandwich! The avocado spread was a revelation. It can be used on different kinds of sandwiches to great effect. It makes an ordinary BLT a meal to be reckoned with. Will do this again---and again.

I could eat this sandwich every day. The addition of avocado to a classic BLT is genius!

My wife and I loved this sandwich. The avocado spread was great. We used turkey bacon and it was still fantastic. The wife will go with light sprouts next time but I enjoyed them as is. Great Sandwich and didn't take too long to prepare.

I'll just say this is ridiculously good! Wouldn't change a thing on it its portion is just right and filling!

Yummy! I made it for lunch at school for my 14 and 15 year old daughters. They loved it. Easy and healthy Pros: Easy to make and healthy

I love this sandwich. Most of my family doesn't really like avocado but they'll eat the avocado this way (so I put in a little extra). This is super tasty and an easy quick dinner. I'm probably going to start making it weekly:) PS I also added more basil and sometimes more garlic (but a lot of garlic makes it more spicy which I like but others don't always)
