Easy Avocado Toast

Mornings are hard. Period. Rushing off to work 5 days a week leaves little time for actually making breakfast, or enjoying it for that matter. Although I love making healthy breakfasts ahead of time (see my chia seed pudding recipe here), I do love to sit down and actually enjoy my breakfast at home once in awhile. That’s (one of many reasons) why I love the weekend! I actually have time to prepare something for myself on Saturday and Sunday mornings. Avocado toast is that something. #brunching

The first thing you should know is that I LOVE avocados. Like, on everything. For real though, I eat 4-5 by myself every week. I initially heard about avocado toast on a podcast I was listening to a few weeks ago. When I heard it mentioned, I immediately thought to myself, “that sounds like something I should try ASAP”. So I did, and it is sooooo good. Like, get in my belly good. Honestly, why didn’t I think of this?!

Avocados are packed with fiber and healthy fat. A medium avocado has about 10 grams of fiber and 15 g of monounsaturated fats (don’t worry, those fats are good for you)! Fiber keeps you full and boosts your metabolism, and those healthy fats protect against inflammation and heart disease. #superfood #yespleeease

Anyways, back to the main point.

    Avocado Toast….It’s creamy. It’s filling. It has endless possibilities of toppings. It’s like, perfect. And it’s stupid easy. 

    Side note: Use a fiber-packed bread to stay full even longer. I use Dave’s Killer Bread, which is a local Oregon company. If you don’t use Dave’s Killer Bread, look for a bread that is 100% whole wheat with at least 2-3 g of fiber per slice. Two slices of bread plus 1 medium avocado = 16 g fiber.

    Anywho, here’s how I make my favorite avocado toast:

    Now, if you aren’t a huge fan of the toppings I used, there are seriously endless possibilities. Avocados pair well with a ton of different foods. A fried egg, smoked salmon, salsa, strawberries, the list goes on and on…..
