Easy Tuna, Avocado & Hummus Bowl

Some of the best meals come from those “what’s in the fridge?” moments—and this one is too good not to repeat.

I first came across the idea in The Glucose Goddess Method (affiliate link), where it’s called “The Avocado Accident.” A simple mix of avocado, hummus, tuna, lemon, and seeds—fresh, nourishing, and surprisingly satisfying.

I’ve made a few small tweaks to lighten it up—using water-packed tuna and going easy on the olive oil—while keeping all the flavor.

It’s perfect for a quick lunch, light dinner, or anytime you want something healthy and filling without turning on the stove.
