Healthy, high protein and delicious! Canned tuna is probably the most convenient way to get protein but i honestly don’t get how people can eat it just in chunks straight out of the can. I personally find it so dry like that! So mixing it with mayo and avocado creates the besttt high protein spread that's delicious in a bagel.
