(R)Energy Sandwich!!

The Renergy Sandwich originated from Rener Gracie.  He is part of the famous Gracie Family.  If you don't know who the Gracie's are - they are the family that introduced Brazilian Jiujitsu to the entire world.  Rener Gracie is a very famous practitioner of the art and also introduced this sandwich to the world.  This is a very good vegetarian type sandwich with tons of protein and flavor.  Rener calls this a breakfast sandwich, but honestly, it goes well anytime.

This is the type of almond butter I use for 

this recipe.  You can buy fresh almond 

butter at Whole Foods, but honestly, I like

 this one better.

You will notice that the spinach 

really cooks down.  This is what it looks 

like when you add the egg whites.

The eggs after the pan flip.

Ingredients

2 Slices Whole Wheat Bread
1/2 Avocado
1-2 Handfuls of Spinach
2-3 Egg Whites
Almond Butter
Salt and pepper to taste


Directions

Toast the bread and spread the almond butter on one side.  In a hot pan, saute the spinach until it cooks down.  This shouldn't take but a few minutes.  Once the spinach is cooked, go ahead and add the egg whites.  Cook until the eggs are set and then go ahead and flip it over - kind of like you were making an omelet.  You can do the fancy pan flip or just use a spatula.  Cook for about 1 minute longer after you flip and put the egg and spinach on the bread.  Slice an avocado and top it on the egg.  Place the slice of wheat toast with the almond butter on the top of the sandwich.
