CLASSIC BLT

Ask and you shall receive! My sis asked for a BLT recipe, so here we go! While eating our favorite comfort foods is fine & encouraged from time to time, if we eat them too often, we may start to sacrifice our health

Lightening up your favorite comfort foods allows us to enjoy them more often, without sacrificing our health in the process

The key to lighten up this BLT was using 647 bread, light mayo, and BAKING the low-sodium bacon so most of the fat drips off! Baking bacon will change your life

For a quick comparison: a regular BLT has: 448 calories, 19g protein, 32g carbs (3g fiber), 26g fat, and 1090mg sodium

This BLT is much lower in fat and sodium, and way higher in fiber!
