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 bread. If you want, you could even go the extra step and make your own whole-grain artisan bread!
Is Avocado Toast 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.

How to Make Homemade Sriracha Salt
Speaking of making your own... I highly recommend making your own Sriracha Salt for this recipe. It's amazing and so much easier than you might think!
All you need is:
- ⅓ cup Sriracha sauce
- ½ cup kosher sea salt
To Make Sriracha Salt: mix the ingredients in a small bowl. Then spread on a dinner plate and microwave 1 minute at a time. Stir every 60 seconds with a fork, for 5 minutes total.
Sriracha salt will be slightly damp and will continue to dry as it cooks. Let it cool and dry for several hours on the counter overnight.
To Store: Store in small spice jars, or mason jar.
Enjoy With: guacamole, roasted vegetables, french fries, grilled fish, or try fruit: mango, pineapple, watermelon.
