When I am not enjoying a thick green smoothie bowl as my first meal of the day, I love to create fun and nourishing “open-faced” toasts. And one of my favourite kinds is definitely the avocado toast! I was never a big fan of avocados growing up, but it all changed about 7 years ago when I switched my diet to include more plant-based options. If you follow me on Instagram, then you know how much I now love me some avocado! I can pretty much add this delicious fruit (yes, technically, it  is a fruit) to about any meal (smoothies, salads, soups, and even desserts). So, today I thought I would share with you 3 of my favourite ways to create a delicious and nutritious avocado toast. I hope you enjoy these Avocado Toasts: 3 ways as much as I do ;). 

Please feel free to add some of your favourite ingredients to these recipes. Let your imagine run wild because either way, you can never go wrong with an avocado toast :).

That being said, there is 1 element however that could ruin your avocado toast … and that is when the avocado is not ripe enough or has already turned brown and bad… To avoid this from ever happening to you again, I have a simple trick that I share in this video –> Check it out: HERE.

Ok, so now that you know exactly how to always pick the perfect avocado, let me share with you 3 delicious ways to enjoy your avocado toasts.

Avocado Toasts: 3 Ways

The Cucumber Fresh Avocado Toast:

Ingredients:

• Toasts (I love using organic sourdough bread, purchased locally)
• 1/2 cucumber, sliced
• 1/2 avocado, mashed
• Some arugula or baby spinach (any leafy greens of your choice)
• 1 Tbsp of hummus (apply it first under the mashed avocado)
• Some sauerkraut (great for probiotics)
• Sea salt & pepper to taste
• Optional: 1 or 2 soft boiled eggs & a few capers.

Assemble your avocado toast with all of the ingredients by adding the soft-boiled egg(s) last and on top (if you use some, of course). That’s it. Enjoy!

The Sweet Potato Avocado Toast:

Ingredients:

• Toasts
• 1/2 cup of roasted sweet potatoes (leftovers are perfect for this recipe)
• 1/2 avocado: mashed
• Drizzle of extra virgin olive oil
• Sea salt + pepper to taste
• Optional: a side of hummus (1 to 2 Tbsp) & some arugula…

Mash the avocado onto your toasts, add your roasted sweet potatoes and your spices. Garnish with some fresh arugula or baby spinach, if desired. Serve and enjoy!
