Avocados are a “trendy” food these days, but they do deserve some love.
They’re loaded with healthy fats, fiber, and other vitamins and minerals, and as you’ll see, they don’t have to taste like a wet sponge.
All it takes is a few of the right ingredients, and you can turn this humble fruit into something that you actually want to eat.
There’s something for everyone in these avocado toast recipes, too–there’s something with meat, something with goat cheese, something spicy, mild, and Mediterranean, and more.
These recipes are also super easy to make. All you need is a few minutes to whip one up, which is perfect for when you’re rushing around in the morning or throughout the day.
So, instead of smearing your toast with peanut butter or jam for the thousandth time, try one of these avocado toast recipes instead. You might not go back!
Enjoy!
You don’t have to mash an avocado to make toast. This one uses hummus as the spread instead, so you can quickly slice up the avocado, remove it from the skin, and lay the avocado on top.
Easy as that is, it’ll look like a special meal with these creative toppings: hemp seeds, fresh dill, and the Middle Eastern spice blend called za’atar.
