Quick and Easy Breakfast Idea #1: Avocado Toast...Mmm!

I love breakfast foods. It's probably my favorite meal of the day. I like muffins, donuts, pancakes, waffles...you get the idea. But, when I started cleaning up my diet, I realized that I had to clean up my breakfast choices as well, as they set the tone for my eating habits for the rest of the day. I also realized that morning times are very busy and if something takes more than 10 minutes to fix, you can just forget about it. So, I began searching online for recipes for quick, healthy, nutrition packed breakfast options to make mornings a little more manageable. I am going to be posting a series of breakfast recipes that we have tried and liked. Some recipes are ideas that I concocted myself and some are recipes that I found online, and I will cite my source for each recipe for your own reference.

This recipe I came up with myself one morning as I was perusing what I had in my fridge and pantry. It has quickly become an all-time favorite. This recipe will make 2-4 servings.

Ingredients:
*1 avocado, peeled, pitted, and mashed
*Dash of sea salt
*Dash of Bragg's Nutritional Yeast Seasoning (we order this on Amazon for a really good price, but you can also find it at places like Whole Foods)
*2-4 slices sprouted bread (we like Aldi's sprouted bread, Ezekiel bread, or also Dave's Killer Bread)
*Fresh sprouts (optional)

While you are peeling and mashing your avocado, have your bread toasting in the toaster oven. Once your bread is toasted, spread the mashed avocado on your toast and sprinkle with season salt and nutritional yeast. Add sprouts if you are using - they add a nice crisp crunch and are packed with nutrition. Enjoy!

This recipe is so easy, didn't take a lot of imagination, and certainly doesn't take a whole lot of time but it is definitely one of our favorites and we never get tired of it! The nutritional yeast adds to the flavor and it also gives you a big punch of B vitamins. It's a win win if you ask me!

May God Bless!
