Is there anything new I can write about Avocado Toast?
Probably not, so I’m just going to write down the Top 5 things I love about it.
1. Easy
Seriously, I can’t think of an easier homemade breakfast. First, you toast bread. Then, you spread avocado and sprinkle stuff on it. Done.
2. Fast
There’s not that much one needs to do to make this breakfast. Refer to the steps written above.
3. Healthy
Yes , avocado toast is loaded with fat-not the type that gives you a muffin top, but the good kind. Plus, it’s packed with vitamins C and B-6 so your immune system will be all boosted up.
4. Lemons
I love lemons. I love it in my Ginger Lemon Tea, Basil Beerade and especially in my Lemon Velvet Cake. In my opinion, avocado toast ain’t avocado toast unless it has tons of lemon juice; and I thoroughly enjoy the tart and bright flavor it brings.
5. Savory
Most days I want something sweet for breakfast, like a muffin or my absolute favorite, Waffles of Insane Greatness. But sometimes I want something that’s not going to completely spike my blood sugar and make me power-nap ’til lunch. Enter the brilliance of avocado toast.
What about you? What do you love about avocado toast?

i love this snack!
Me too, Dina! I wish avocados weren’t so expensive. Need to get myself an avocado tree and, um…a back yard. Thanks for stopping by.
I think this is a wonderful snack. Will keep this in mind next time I need something quick and healthy!
Me too! Plus, it makes for a quick and filling breakfast for people who don’t care for eggs. Thanks for stopping by.
I’ve come to dislike eggs and recently have become an avocado junkie, especially in Mexican food . The day should start off right with a bang, and something with a little more savor like avocado toast with a little olive oil, lemon juice, and a touch of lemon pepper, sounds like the perfect solution.
You got that right! Next time you come across avocados on sale, get yourself a ton. Thanks for stopping by.
Sounds delicious! Tip: 4an avocado not to turn brown, slice chunks of onion, put in plastic container n put your other half avocado in the container. I usually eat the other half within 5 days.
Whoa! I’ve never heard of this tip before-sounds interesting. I could really use it because when I buy avocados, I buy quite a few. Thanks for the tip, Mea. Looking forward to trying it out!
Love Avocados too. Don’t buy a ton because they spoil really fast. Amazing pics.
They do, Lee; I agree. I usually don’t buy more than two at a time. Although, I did see a post on Pinterest about freezing your avocado “meat” so you’ll always have some on hand. Thanks for stopping by.
I saw a recipe for avocado toast with chipotle powder and an egg yesterday, and tried it this morning. Really good! I also like it with lemon pepper. I’ve never tried it with a squeeze of lemon, though I suspect I will soon. Thanks for the idea!

ooooh, I love the sound of chipotle powder. perhaps, I’ll add salsa and a bit of cheese to that. nice! thanks for stopping by!
Avocado toast is my brain fuel as avocados contain vitamins C, E, K, and B6 and riboflavin, niacin, folate, pantothenic acid, magnesium, and potassium. They also provide lutein, beta-carotene, and omega-3 fatty acids. The cognitive benefits of this amazing fruit are real. Avocados also contain high levels of healthy, beneficial fats, which help me feel fuller between meals. I top it off with my B Complex supplement for a consistent brain boost.
