Breakfast Bagels

This is a healthy meal version of the traditional bagel and cream cheese.
It is a bagel, (best with the whole wheat or whole grain bagels. These are better for you.) with low fat chive, or garlic herb cream cheese. Then it is topped with avocado slices and bacon pieces.
Toast your bagel. Spread a relatively thin layer of cream cheese on the bagel. Top with the avocado slices (tomato slices would work too) and 1 slice of bacon per bagel half, cut into bite sized pieces. I will get a picture soon, I ate breakfast too fast this morning to photograph it.
If you use the pre-cooked bacon, available in the meat section near sausages or the frozen section, this meal takes about 2 minutes longer than it takes to toast the bagel.
This is a relatively healthy option to the traditional bagel and cream cheese, because with the bacon and avocado it is very filling. Complete this meal with a fruit smoothie and you have a great breakfast, that will keep you going.
The fruit variation to this is to use cinnamon raisin or blueberry bagels, low fat cream cheese and fruit slices, strawberries, bananas, or other berries work well.
