There are so many variations of avocado toast, but it’s still one of my favorite go to breakfasts or snacks.  It’s quick and easy to make, and the avocado makes it very satiating, which translates into you feeling fuller longer.

Avocados contain heart healthy monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs), that research has shown may help to lower your risk of heart disease and lower your total cholesterol levels and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels.  You need to be careful not to overdue it when it comes to consuming MUFAs as they are also calorically dense, especially if you are trying to lose weight.  Moderation is key!  In addition to MUFAs, avocados are high in fiber and rich in B-vitamins, vitamin K, potassium, copper, vitamin E and Vitamin C.

When choosing bread for your toast, look for whole grain bread.  The first ingredient should be whole wheat flour or wheat flour.  Pairing the avocado with whole grain bread will really boost the fiber content.

Experiment with different variations depending on whether this is a snack or a meal.  Top with eggs, vegetables, seasonings or just keep it basic with avocado and toast!
