Mashed White Bean and Avocado Sandwiches

On my never ending quest to discover lunch items that are healthy and keep me full all afternoon, I discovered this gem of a sandwich. It is tasty, filling, inexpensive, and does the trick. It looks a lot like a tuna sandwich in the picture, but make no mistake, there is no fish inolved in this sandwich.

I was inspired by a fellow blogger to try this out. Notice the homemade bread in the picture. I told you that it even looked like real sandwich bread!

Ingredients:

• 140 g (dry) white beans
