Green Toast - Avocado and Edamame


Have you ever tried a savory toast for breakfast?  There are lots of sweet options for breakfast but every now and then I like to go the savory route.

This one was inspired by an avocado sitting on the kitchen counter that had to be used before it went bad.  Avocado toast is super popular and there are tons of versions of this tasty toast.  I started with that as my base and decided to add on some steamed edamame, a squirt of lime and some sunflower seeds for crunchy texture.

A drizzle of honey lent a slightly sweet note to all the savory and it actually turned out to be quite a delicious and filling breakfast!  I ate this one morning before my husband and I went on a 7 mile hike and it was a great way to get some protein and carbs before heading into the wilderness.

Ingredients:
  • Avocado (I used 1 small, ripe avocado)
  • Steamed edamame (however much fits on your pieces of toast)
  • Sprinkle of sunflower seeds
  • Drizzle of honey
  • 2 pieces of whole wheat bread
  • S&P
  • Lime


Instructions:
  • Toast that bread.
  • Spread that avocado on the toast.
  • Drizzle some honey on top of the avocado.
  • Edamame goes on the toast next.
  • Season with S&P as desired.
  • Squirt of fresh lime.
  • Sprinkle those seeds.
  • Done!

If you didn't know, avocados are a GOOD FAT and offer great health benefits too!
