Avocado and Tomato Grilled Cheese

Here’s an avocado grilled cheese with ingredients that can actually help control type 2 diabetes.  Sourdough bread has been studied and shown to be beneficial in controlling blood sugar.  During the fermentation process, acetic acid (a major component of vinegar) is produced and is linked to a more moderate blood sugar response.  

 

Avocadoes are low in carbs and contain monounsaturated fats which are considered to be a heart healthy fat.  Tomatoes are low in carbs and high in fiber which also helps moderate blood glucose levels.  Oh yeah, and besides the health benefits, this avocado grilled cheese sandwich just tastes amazing!!
