Who doesn’t love avocado? And bread? No wonder avocado toast is so popular! If your mornings consist of running out the door to catch the T, making time to eat a healthy breakfast might not be a priority. Avocado toast is quick and healthy! It only calls for a few ingredients and it’s simple to prepare at home. You can make a batch the night before and quickly spread it on your toast in the morning and go. 

If you are looking for a new breakfast idea or just another way to eat more avocado toast, give this recipe a try:

Ingredients

  • 16 oz tub of Hood Cottage Cheese
  • olive oil
  • red pepper flakes
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 2 slices of ezekiel bread 

Directions

  • Cut up one avocado and then mash it up in a small bowl 
  • Add a half cup of cottage cheese, 1 tsp of olive oil, and a dash of red pepper flakes (to taste)
  • Mix it all together and spread as much as you’d like on some whole grain bread after toasting.

HEALTH BENEFIT: The fiber from the whole grains, the protein from the cottage cheese, and the healthy fat from the avocado will all help keep you full longer.
