Avo & Tomato Toast

The ultimate breakfast toast. This is one of my go-to breakfasts for the weekend because it's perfect for late-morning. After sleeping in for several hours more than I do during the work week I wake up hungry and craving something hearty. 

Avocados are a good breakfast addition because of their ability to provide energy along with a number of essential vitamins and minerals. They're naturally low in sugar and a great source of monounsaturated fatty acids (aka the good fats)  

In this recipe I love the drizzle of honey and crushed red pepper combo - it's the perfect sweet & spicy duo to give your avo that extra umpf. 

I like to pair the toast with an egg on the side, usually poached or fried - but scrambled or hard boiled would do the trick as well.

INGREDIENTS: 

1 small avocado

1/2 lime 

8-10 cherry tomatoes 

2 slices sprouted grain bread 

Pink Himalayan salt / cracked black pepper 

Red pepper flakes 

1 tsp. raw honey (optional) 

HOW TO:

• Mash avocado in a small bowl. I like to leave the texture creamy enough to spread but still a bit chunky. 
• Squeeze juice of half a lime over the avocado and season with salt and pepper. 
• Slice the tomatoes into halves or quarters and throw them into a pan on med-high heat with some olive oil and a pinch of salt. 
• While the tomatoes are warming up, toast the bread. 
• Spread mashed avocado mixture on the toast and sprinkle with red pepper flakes.
• Drizzle the honey over top, and top with the warm tomatoes. 
• Add a fried or poached egg on the side and a bed of spinach for a complete breakfast!
