🥑 Happy Nutrition Tuesday from the Turning Point Wellness Center! 🥓

Every Tuesday, we’re sharing a simple, budget-friendly recipe because nourishing your mind, body, and soul is an important part of recovery. Healthy eating doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive—it just takes a few fresh ingredients and a little intention.

This week, we’re making an Aioli Bacon, Lettuce, Avocado & Tomato Sandwich (ABLT). It’s loaded with protein, healthy fats, fresh vegetables, and plenty of flavor to help fuel your day.

Recipe:

Ingredients:
• 2 slices sourdough or whole grain bread
• 2–3 slices bacon
• ½ avocado, sliced
• 2 slices tomato
• Handful of lettuce
• 1 tbsp mayonnaise
• 1–2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (depending on your preferred spice level)
• Juice from ½ lemon
• Black pepper to taste
• Optional: pinch of garlic powder

Directions:

1. Cook the bacon until crispy.
2. Toast your bread until golden.
3. Mix the mayonnaise, chipotle peppers, lemon juice, black pepper, and garlic powder to make the chipotle aioli.
4. Spread the aioli on both slices of bread.
5. Layer with lettuce, tomato, avocado, and bacon.
6. Slice, serve, and enjoy!

💚 Budget Tip: Stretch your grocery budget by choosing ingredients you can use in multiple meals. Leftover avocado is great on toast or eggs, extra lettuce and tomatoes make an easy salad, and the chipotle aioli doubles as a delicious spread for wraps, burgers, or sandwiches.

Recovery is about more than overcoming challenges—it’s about creating healthy routines that support your overall well-being. Food is one of the many ways we can care for ourselves, one meal at a time.

Join us every Tuesday as we share another affordable, nutritious recipe to help inspire healthier habits and remind you to nourish your mind, body, and soul.
