Healthy avocado toast is super easy to make and makes the perfect addition to any breakfast or an anytime snack! Mashed avocado spread over crusty whole-wheat bread, finished with olive oil, some crushed black pepper, and salt—does it get much better than that? It’s full of healthy, unsaturated fats, packed with fiber, and it’s an effortless breakfast or snack.
Avocado toast has become my new favorite breakfast/snack. It’s healthy, simple, and delicious and best of all, it’s super easy to make and ready in under 5 minutes. In fact, this recipe is so simple we can hardly call it a recipe, but I had to share it with you because of how good it is!
This recipe is for simple avocado toast but the possibilities are endless. Sometimes we like to zest up the avocado toast and top it with tomatoes, jalapenos, spinach, mushrooms, or pretty much anything else!
To begin, simply toast your bread. You can use any kind of toast or sliced bread you have but I like to use crusty bread or whole grain toast. Sourdough breads also work very well. Next, mash an avocado in a small bowl with a fork. Add some lime juice, salt, pepper and olive oil then spread the mixture on the toasted slice of bread. Sprinkle with crushed pepper and serve!
If you’re having it for breakfast go ahead and top the avocado with an egg cooked any way you like. However, since I’m a vegetarian, I top it up with butter garlic mushrooms and they taste so heavenly!
