Tuna & Avocado Sandwich

Nourishing Your Body with Simple Choices: Tuna & Avocado Sandwich

When you're walking through recovery from emotional or compulsive eating, simplicity can be your best friend — especially when it comes to meals.


One of my favorite go-to lunches is this easy Tuna & Avocado Sandwich. It’s quick to make, full of nutrients, and helps me stay on track without feeling deprived.


Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 1 pouch of albacore tuna

  • ½ a ripe avocado, mashed

  • Optional: a few tablespoons of chopped celery for crunch

  • 2 slices of Canyon Bakehouse gluten-free bread


Simply mash the avocado in a bowl, add the tuna, and stir to combine. If you like a little texture, toss in some chopped celery. Pile it onto your bread — and don’t be afraid if it overflows a little! The flavors are rich and satisfying, and the healthy fats and protein help keep you full for hours.


Why This Meal Works in Recovery


So many people try to “wing it” with food and end up either overeating or undereating. But structure and preparation are key — especially when you’re trying to stay free from binge eating or sugar addiction.


This sandwich checks the boxes:

✅ Simple ingredients

✅ No added sugar

✅ Healthy fats + protein

✅ Gluten-free bread that doesn’t weigh you down


Nutritional Note:

This simple sandwich comes in around 355 calories - less if you skip the bread. It’s a great recovery-friendly meal with healthy fats, lean protein, and fiber — perfect for lunch or dinner.


It’s easy to get stuck in food guilt or feel overwhelmed about what to eat. But when you have a go-to meal like this, you’re setting yourself up for success — physically, emotionally, and even spiritually. When our bodies are nourished, it’s easier to stay prayerful, peaceful, and present with God throughout the day.
