Avocado Toast recipes are all over Pinterest, Instagram, Facebook… they’re everywhere! I’m here to tell you that not all these recipes are created equal.

The “Regular” plain way involves smashing a ripe avocado on top of a piece of toast and seasoning it, perhaps with a bit of salt and pepper. BORING!

What is the Best Bread?

The best bread should always be whole grain bread. You don’t want to use white bread!

Use hearty, wholesome, whole grain artisan breads. If you want, you could even go the extra step and make your own whole grain artisan bread!

Is It Good for Weight Loss?

Avocado Toast won’t magically make the pounds melt off without any extra effort, but it can be part of a well-balanced weight loss plan. The healthy fats in avocados make it a highly satisfying meal, so you’ll stay full longer meaning you’ll probably eat less overall.
