Avocado Tomato Breakfast Toast (No Eggs Required)
By Isabel Smith, MS, RD, CDN
If you haven’t jumped on the avocado toast train yet, you’re missing out! There’s nothing better than delicious (and nutritious) breakfasts, and this one definitely tops my list of healthy go-to ways to start my morning. Toast is often thought of as an empty breakfast, but when it’s topped with heart healthy, anti-inflammatory avocado and vitamin c-rich tomato, it’s nothing but a good-for-you, complete meal. I choose to use gluten-free bread, but you could use a hearty whole grain or sprouted bread instead, as these options will give you more fiber and protein as well as brain-healthy fat.
Ingredients
- 2 slices of gluten-free bread (if you’re not gluten-free, then use sprouted Ezekiel bread)
- 1/2 avocado, smashed
- 1/2 heirloom tomato, sliced
- 1/2 lemon, juice only
- sea salt and pepper, to taste
- chopped basil, for garnish
- dash of cayenne pepper (optional)
Directions
- Toast your bread (only if you want to!).
- In a small bowl, mash the avocado to a consistency you prefer.
- Slice the tomato.
- Spread the smashed avocado on the toast then layer with sliced tomato and add dash of salt and pepper, spritz of lemon and a sprinkle of cayenne pepper if you want to spice it up.
- Cut in half (or leave whole), then serve and enjoy!
