HEALTHY AVOCADO TOAST – BRAIN FOOD FOR MOMS

Healthy Avocado Toast Origin Story: Edinburgh, Scotland

I fell in love with this gem of a dish while vacationing with a good friend in Edinburgh, Scotland. Before I had my babies, when I was teaching, I would have a considerable chunk of time off during the summer months. My friend and I would plan and save up for a big vacation each year—usually, we’d travel somewhere in Europe (where my heart lies), but sometimes we’d venture to Canada or touristy places within the United States.

One such summer, we traveled to Edinburgh, Scotland. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Edinburgh. It is a really beautiful city and one that has truly stuck with me over the years.

Unrelated to healthy avocado toast but…

…I’d be remiss if I didn’t share a few details about the city!

The city is entirely walkable (which I loved) and even though we visited during late June, the weather was cool (around 65°F which, in my opinion, is absolutely perfect for touring!) Also, the city has a very young vibe and there are plenty of vegetarian and vegan restaurants which was surprising.

Fun Fact: J.K Rowling was inspired by the city of Edinburgh and wrote some of the Harry Potter Series while staying there.

If you are a Harry Potter fan, you will want to visit Edinburgh! There’s an entire Harry Potter and J.K. Rowling walking tour (which we did, of course!) where you get to see the spots where Rowling wrote the books along with tons of real-life places that inspired things in the book (like Diagon Alley and names of characters).

Okay, now back to the star, healthy avocado toast…

The Meet Cute: Hula Juice Café

Our Airbnb host recommended Hula Juice Café, a trendy, healthy eatery that serves breakfast and lunch. We loved it so much that we ended up eating breakfast there our entire stay.

That first morning I ordered their version of avocado toast not knowing what to expect.

Avocado toast is always a wildcard item because each and every restaurant prepares it differently. I took a chance on it and I’m soooooo glad I did.

Two thick slices of crusty sourdough bread spread with fresh, smashed avocado, drizzled with tomato oil, lime, and “Hula” mix (a combo of sea salt, chili flakes, and chia and sesame seeds).

Is your mouth watering yet?

In the years since, I’ve tried avocado toast in many other places—including various cities in the U.S., Canada, London, Madrid…you get the idea—and nothing beats the version I had in Edinburgh.

This recipe for healthy avocado toast is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or as a light dinner!

This recipe is my version of Hulu’s avocado toast. I love it for breakfast, lunch, or even dinner (if I’m eating by myself and want a quick meal).

If you prefer your avocado sliced rather than mashed, this avocado slicer is amazing

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do and if you make it, please let me know what you think in the comments

This post was an extremely easy recipe for healthy avocado toast!

Equipment

Toaster Oven

Ingredients

2 slices sourdough bread
1 whole avocado, pitted and sliced
1 Tbsp sun-dried tomato spread
1/2 tsp sesame seeds, not toasted
1/2 tsp chia seeds
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1/4 tsp sea salt

Instructions

Slice and pit the avocado and set aside.
Toast bread; for this recipe, I like light to medium toast 🙂
While the bread is toasting, combine sesame seeds, chia seeds, red pepper flakes, and sea salt. Mix well.
Once toasted, spread the sun-dried tomato spread equally over both slices of bread.
Arrange one-half of the avocado slices on one slice. Repeat for the second slice.
Sprinkle seasoning mixture over both slices.

Notes

The measurements are approximations, you can add more or less of the spices to fit your tastes.
This toast is equally good without the tomato spread. When I was pregnant everything gave me heartburn so I tried to limit acidic foods like tomatoes so I got accustomed to eating the toast without the spread.
Other types of bread will work, but sourdough is the way to go if you want to maintain a vegan recipe!
