Avocado toast is the ultimate “it” food of the Instagram era and no brunch date can go without it. This, however, doesn’t necessarily make it healthy, but you can use these tips to put a twist on this trendy dish.
Avocado Overload
Avocado may be healthy, but it’s high in fat and calories. That’s why it’s recommended to eat it in small doses, and stick to one-half of an avocado per two slices of toast.
Right Bread
When it comes to avocado toast—or any other toast for that matter—try to go with whole-wheat bread every time, and try to avoid white and processed bread at all costs.
Healthy Toppings
The choice of toppings can make or break your avocado. It’s important to avoid going overboard with unhealthy toppings, and the best way to do it is by adding some fiber through veggies or fruits.
Adding Protein
There’s a reason why most avocado toasts you see on Instagram are topped with eggs. This is the easiest way to add some protein to the mix, but you can also do it by using tofu, chickpeas, beans, and other vegan sources of protein.
