If you’re looking for healthy meal ideas you can take your favorite avocado toast 6 ways and you’ve got breakfast, lunch, and dinner covered!
This is one of those fun posts where we get to stuff in a few different recipe ideas but they are all so easy it’s not overwhelming at all. We are sharing avocado toast 6 ways because my birthday was in April and as you saw on instagram Cade made me an entire board of avocado toasts that I could share with everyone for a birthday lunch. So. Fun.
In case you’ve been living in a small cave, avocado toast is all the rage right now. You may think it seems a little too simple or boring but I’m telling you, it will be your new favorite thing for meals or snacks. eureka!® Organic Bread encourages us: Don’t be Bland! And I agree. Eating better doesn’t have to be boring and you don’t have to sacrifice taste in order to eat better, I promise. The only rule you need to live by, no wait, there’s two…
- Good quality bread. This is an absolute must. In fact the more whole grain and seedy the better. Even those who can’t stand a seedy bread will be completely converted thanks to avocado toast. It gives amazing texture and flavor which is really needed since the main ingredient is a creamy avocado. We personally have been using eureka!® because it is an organic bread that is bursting with rich flavor, fantastic texture and it isn’t full of high fructose corn syrup, artificial flavors, colors or preservatives.
2. Acid or Salt. That’s it, period. You have to do a little acid like vinegar, lemon or lime juice or salt either kosher or sea salt or something salty like bacon or feta. It really works so well together
We have 6 different ways to make it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. First up is one of my favorites, honey berry avocado toast.
It’s got a dollop of cottage cheese and a drizzle of honey which makes it an equally beautiful, light and delicious way to start your morning.
Or if you’re more savory, try a bacon and egg avocado toast and make sure that egg is over easy because the yolk ends up like a silky sauce over everything.
This is Cade’s pick for breakfast.
Lunch, oh how I hate lunch. No, I love lunch, but I hate that it’s a harder meal to figure out what to make and in the middle of the day it’s hard to have the time to make something delicious which is why I often end up eating a bowl or oatmeal or salad. Lately avocado toast has been my go to and Cade and I are tied on this one.
There’s the Greek salad version with that briney feta and olive mixture, cool cucumbers and a touch of olive oil, salt and pepper. You could also add a little red onion too.
Or go with our all time favorite flavor combo that inspired us to start this site, caprese with balsamic drizzle. Just let the balsamic vinegar simmer on the stove until it coats the back of the spoon then drizzle it all over those delicious little mozzarella pearls, grape tomatoes and fresh basil.
It. Is. Amazing.
And dinner. When Saturday hits we just want to enjoy our weekend and dinner always ends up being so casual (hello breakfast for dinner) and obviously avocado toast has made its way into our rotation for quick Saturday night dinner. Cade loves the fajita version, some roasted or sauteed peppers, a little cheese, sometimes even a little chicken and a squeeze of lime.
I tend to go more turkey bacon avocado because I’m a nursing mom and am always hungry so protein makes its way into most of my meals. Which is a good thing, protein is so essential for a healthy lifestyle. I love to just roll up little pieces of turkey and sprinkle on some chopped bacon. It’s filling, it’s creamy, salty and healthy all at once.
If you’re nervous just start with the bread, avocado, a squeeze of lemon and a pinch of salt and pepper. It’s amazing. Cade and I would love to see your eureka! Organic Bread toast creations, just tag @eurekabread #dontbebland and @ohsweetbasil #ohsweetbasil so we can see your favorite way to make avocado toast!
How do You Keep an Avocado From Turning Black?
Lemon or Lime Juice will help keep an avocado from turning black.
Simply squeeze a little juice over your avocado or guacamole to keep it from turning dark for about a day.
Are Avocados Healthy?
Avocados are good for you.
An avocado has around 160 calories, 2 grams of protein, and about 15 grams of healthy fats.
Although they contain 9 grams of carbs, 7 of those are fiber, making this a low carb plant.
How do you Know if an Avocado is Ripe?
When you hold an avocado in the palm of your hand and gently squeeze, the skin should give slightly, but not remain indented.
If it feels mushy, it is overripe.
If it feels firm, it is not ripe.

LOVE this! I tend to get bored with avocado toast so this is perfect! So many delicious ideas!
Sweet Basil
Thank you so much, Anna!

I want all 6 of them. I can’t even decide which one I like best, because I love them all. There’s just something so comforting about toast, and avocado toast just takes it to a whole other level. I concur with the bread having to be the best out there. I can’t wait to try this brand. So happy we live in a border town. Makes my life so much easier, and more flavourful.
Sweet Basil
It makes such a difference to have great bread!
Brenda
Try sprinkling the avocado with chopped Sriracha almonds and feta cheese. Yum!
Sweet Basil
That sounds amazing!!
