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.

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

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 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)

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

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.
