  Avacado Toast
      Nourish & Thrive
     
  
  
      I love everything about avocado. They’re smooth and creamy, fatty (the good kind - monosaturated!), and packed with nutrients like fiber, vitamin K, folate, vitamin B6, potassium, and vitamins E and C. But in this case, I love how easy it is to make avocado toast. I eat this morning, noon, and night - when I’m low on time or energy, but need a big impact. There are endless adaptations, and since avocados are available many places all year round, it’s an option for all the seasons!

     1/2 hass avacado
      1 pinch sea salt
      drizzle of extra virgin olive oil
  
  1 pinch red pepper flakes or a squeeze of lemon juice (optional)
  1 slice sprouted grain bread, toasted (I prefer Ezekiel 4:9 Bread)
  Mash the half an avocado, pinch of sea salt and about a teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil together in a small bowl with a fork
  Spread the avocado mixture on a piece of hearty toast
  Optional: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes if desired

This "recipe" isn't really a recipe at all, it's more of a reminder to use the incredible avocado in the form of the now seemingly ubiquitous "Avocado Toast". I love everything about avocados. They’re smooth and creamy, fatty (the good kind - monosaturated!), and packed with nutrients like fiber, vitamin K, folate, vitamin B6, potassium, and vitamins E and C. But in this case, I love how easy it is to make avocado toast. Eat this morning, noon, and night - when low on time or energy, but need a big impact. There are endless adaptations, and since avocados are available many places all year round, it’s an option for all the seasons!
