Hey guys!
Here's a random new "obsession" I'm gonna share with you: avocado toast.
Wow, that sounds random, right? Let me explain.
I was reading Rachel Ray's magazine - http://www.rachaelraymag.com/ - and the new issue was totally breakfast-related.
To start, if you're into cooking, Rachel Ray has some great recipes for all occasions. They have healthy, indulgent, cost-efficient, and timely recipes that all look so delicious. I love reading my new issue every month!
Like I said, this issue was breakfast-based, and there was a page with crazy toast ideas. One of them was apparently a Pinterest craze, and it was avocado toast!
I'm a huge fan of avocado. It's a super-healthy superfood, and it's so versatile. From guac to sandwiches, you can incorporate its healthy benefits virtually anywhere - including breakfast!
All I did was buy an avocado, cut up some slices, and put them on top of a buttered piece of toast. It was amazing! If you enjoy avocado, or just want a healthy creative breakfast option, avocado toast is the way to go. Whole wheat bread adds to the health benefits.
When purchasing an avocado, choose one with skin that you can press into. It's got to be at least a little soft. Don't go too soft, though, or else the avocado can be mushy and unappetizing. Getting the skin off is simple - if the avocado's not too mushy, it should peel off pretty easily - and from there, cut off nice, pale green pieces. Lay them on top of your toast, and presto! Delicious, healthy breakfast option!
I also suggest using avocado elsewhere. There are many creative guacamole recipes out there, so just explore! Adding a few slices of avocado to a sandwich can give it a refreshing twist, and on top of salad it's just divine. Have fun with it!
Fun fact: an avocado is a berry! So if you have a nut allergy, don't be alarmed by rumors that the hard center somehow makes it a nut - it's a fruit!
