One generous serving, just for you, or two can share.

Ingredients

1 wholewheat baguette (homemade or bought)

1 small avocado

A few slices of mild Brie cheese

1-2 tbsp cranberry sauce (homemade or bought)

1 handful of rocket

1 tbsp pistachios

 

Preparation

  • Toast your baguette in the oven or toaster, so it is crispy and warm. Cut the baguette in half.
  • Smash the avocado with a fork in a bowl and spread it out on the bottom half of the baguette.
  • Put your Brie slices on top of the smashed avocado so the baguette is covered.
  • Evenly distribute some cranberry sauce on top of the Brie with a spoon.
  • Spread out the rocket on top of the cranberry sauce, then sprinkle some pistachios on top.
  • Place the other baguette half on top.
  • Enjoy!

Why this is better for you

This recipe uses a baguette made from wholemeal flour. Wholemeal flour is ground cereal grain from which only the hard outer layer has been removed. The grain husk is rich in fibre and vitamins, and there are also healthy nutrients inside. The most important substances in whole grains are B vitamins, minerals such as iron, zinc, magnesium and secondary plant compounds. There is increasing evidence that a diet high in fibre reduces breast cancer risk.

It is a vegetarian lunch and has no meat in it. There is increasing evidence that processed meat may slightly increase breast cancer risk.

Avocado contains several vitamins, minerals and fibre. The type of fat in an avocado is mainly unsaturated (specifically, monounsaturated), which, when eaten in place of high-saturated-fat foods, can help maintain healthy cholesterol levels.
