healthy avocado toast

The New Year is upon us, and that means New Year’s resolutions. Every year I have a long list of things that never actually happen! I’m sure most people are like that. The thing is, goals, or resolutions, have to be attainable. I always say I want to eat healthier, but never set myself up to be successful.

This year things are going to change. One of my goals this year is to eat healthier breakfasts. I am horrible about breakfast, half the time I don’t eat it at all. I’ve been looking for ways to create healthier breakfasts that aren’t going to take a lot of time or make a huge mess.

My new favorite is Avocado Toast on Three Bakers 7 Ancient Grains bread. Avocados have all kinds of fantastic omega three’s in them, plus Three Bakers bread is packed with nutrients. The great thing is, you can have a lot of fun playing with your toppings, so it’s never dull.

Some of my favorite ways to top avocado toast are with poached eggs, a light citrus salad, or pesto. So easy and so delicious.

If avocado toast hasn’t become part of your breakfast routine, it’s time to add it in. Enjoy!

  • ¼ cup chopped Cilantro
  • 2 Tablespoons Red onion, chopped

  • Pepper

With Pesto

Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons Store Bought Pesto
  • 1 Tablespoon Red Onion

Instructions

  1. Sprinkle chopped onion over toast.
  2. Top with Pesto
