    Ingredient: Avocado

    Avocad-ohh! Toast

    What do you need to know about avocado toast? Well-it’s satisfying, tasty, healthy and versatile. Move over butter and jam, this toast is packed with fiber, protein and heart-healthy fat!

    Did we mention you don’t have to possess any actual culinary skills to make it? Here are some ideas for inspiration, but the possibilities are endless!

    Level 1 – Basic

    Toast up a piece of bread, preferably a whole grain and high-fiber variety. Mash up some fresh avocado with seasonings such as onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Voila. That’s all there is to it.

    Level 2 – Kickin’ it up a notch

    Spread a moderate layer of prepared hummus on the toast. Top with fresh avocado slices. Top with salt and pepper. (Bonus hint: in lieu of salt and pepper, top off with Trader Joes’ “Everything But the Bagel” seasoning).

    Level 3 – Oh la la!

    Follow directions for level 2…and add sliced tomatoes and lightly drizzle balsamic glaze on top.
