A Healthy Avocado Toast Recipe

Can we all agree that avocado toast should be it’s own food group?

Avocado toast has become a staple for breakfast, lunch and dinner. And people have made an art out of trying to make the prettiest toasts out there. For real! Head to pinterest and type in avocado toast. You’ll see a plethora of toast options out there and every one of them is drop dead gorgeous!

What is Avocado Toast?
Don’t overcomplicate it. It’s bread that’s toasted topped with avocado. The avocado itself can be sliced, diced or smashed then placed on the toast. You can use gluten free bread, regular bread, baguettes or even thinly sliced and toasted sweet potatoes.

 

What to Put on Avocado Toast?
Avocado (duh)
Go the simple route: olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
Add a protein. (chicken, tuna, egg, steak, etc.)
