Packed with nutrients,–including fiber, healthy fats and Vitamin E–avocados are a great way to start your day.
One of the beauties of avocado toast is having fun with flavor combinations, and the possibilities are endless. We like to think of the composition as pulling from a few key categories: Avocado (sliced or smashed), Bread, Spread, Sauce, Cheese, Proteins and Garnish/Fresh Veggies. Pick your favorite ingredients from each category and layer on the flavor.
