Healthy avocado toast is super easy to make and makes the perfect addition to any breakfast or an anytime snack!
Avocado toast has become my new favorite breakfast/snack. It’s healthy, simple, and delicious and best of all, it’s super easy to make and ready in under 5 minutes. In fact, this recipe is so simple we can hardly call it a recipe, but I had to share it with you because of how good it is!
This recipe is for simple avocado toast but the possibilities are endless. Sometimes we like to zest up the avocado toast and top it with tomatoes, bacon, beans, jalapeno, spinach, salmon, or pretty much anything else!
To begin, simply toast your bread; You can use any kind of toast or sliced bread you have but I like to use crusty bread or whole grain toast. Next, mash an avocado in a small bowl with a fork. Add cilantro, lime, and salt + pepper then spread the mixture on the toasted slice of bread. Sprinkle with pepper flakes and serve!
If you’re having it for breakfast go ahead and top the avocado with an egg cooked any way you like. Our favorite is a sunny side up but poached, scrambled or even hard-boiled also works well.

This is a delicious recipe. I don’t know where that excessively high value from sodium came from, but here is what I calculated, being on a slow sodium diet. I calculated 1/2 avocado, 7 mg sodium; 1 slice of lower sodium whole wheat bread 85 mg sodium; 1 slice regular wheat bread 160 mg sodium; one egg 62 mg sodium. I used lower sodium whole wheat bread, the lime juice, red pepper, and cilantro and my total sodium was 92 mg. Even adding an egg would have boosted the protein and made the total sodium closer to 155 mg. Using more standard whole wheat bread, 28 grams, for 160 mg sodium with no added salt makes it 230 mg with the egg. . This was delicious without any added salt, but I have been on a low sodium diet for over a year now. Any added table salt greatly contributes to the sodium with one quarter teaspoon, a huge amount of salt for one serving, , equaling 580 mg sodium. This recipe can easily be varied to fit your taste and nutritional requirements.
Get that horrible cilantro away from my food. It tastes awful.
4 to 14% of Americans hate cilantro, probably a good percentage of those due to genetics. Every recipe I have seen that comments on it, says substitute parsley for cilantro, or just leave it out.
Delicious! Quick, easy and easily adjusted to taste.
