Looking for a low-carb vegan breakfast that’s light, refreshing, and still satisfying? This No-Bread Avocado Sandwich ditches the bread and uses crisp little gem lettuce leaves to cradle healthy fats like creamy avocado and vegan cheese. It’s gluten-free, keto-friendly, and ready in 10 minutes—no cooking required.
Why Skip the Bread?
Most breads—even gluten-free ones—are high in carbs and not ideal for a keto lifestyle. Using lettuce as a wrap provides crunch and hydration while keeping carbs incredibly low. Plus, avocado is a top-tier keto food, packed with monounsaturated fats, fiber, and potassium, which helps maintain energy levels and electrolyte balance on a keto diet.
