Avocado on Toast Recipe

This avocado on toast recipe is one of my favourite ways to have breakfast or alternatively I like to have it as a snack throughout the day (normally after training). It is super quick, easy to make and tastes delicious.

The great thing about this avocado on toast recipe is that it is good for you and full of healthy omega-3 fats. Whole wheat bread along with the avocado keeps you fuller for longer and helps control your weight.

You can also add a variety of toppings. I especially like low sodium soy sauce with cracked pepper or you can add anything that you like.

Benefits of this Avocado on Toast Recipe

Avocados are known for being a great superfood and are becoming increasingly popular in people’s daily diet. You can use them in salads, smoothies, dips and sauces, deserts and, well, with pretty much any style of meal that you choose to make.

They are a great source of nutrients; they contain potassium which helps regulate nerve function and the uptake of nutrients into cells as well as eradicating waste. Potassium also helps to reduce high blood pressure.

Furthermore, they’re packed with monounsaturated fats which helps reduce LDL cholesterol, and are full of fiber which helps you stay fuller for longer. The folate contained in avocados also enhances brain function and assists with healthy pregnancies.

When served with whole wheat bread this recipe promotes healthy digestion and weight management, boosts heart health and can also reduce the risk of stroke and type 2 diabetes.

Just remember that avocados are high in calories, and even though these are good calories, if you are trying. to lose weight then eat them in moderation. Also, if you are trying to cut back on calories or just want a snack then split the recipe in half and only have one piece of toast ?

So if you haven’t tried it, now is the time!

How to Make Avocado on Toast Recipe

So this is super easy to make and quick.  Stick the whole wheat bread in the toaster and put it on.  Then in the meantime take the avocado out of the skin and put it into a bowl.  Mash the avocado with a fork and use a knife if you need to.

Chop the fresh herbs and add them to the mix along with the lemon juice, a dash of salt and the pepper.  Then stir through.

If so, here’s the trick…. prepare the avocado and then squeeze lemon juice on top.  Then stick it in a sealable zip lock bag but make sure you push all the air out before sealing it.

Put the bag in the fridge and then when you are ready to use it, cut the corner off of the bag and squeeze it onto your toast in the morning.
