Here are the ingredients as follows for my favorite avocado toast recipe:
- Fresh Avocado
- Fresh Lemon or Lime juice
- Minced garlic
- Flaky Sea salt
- 1 tsp olive oil
- Two bread slices of choice
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Red pepper flakes
Be sure to purchase good bread. I prefer mine Homemade or from the bakery.
1. Lightly toast your bread of choice. I prefer multi-grain bread, but you can certainly use what you enjoy, such as whole grain bread, whole wheat bread, or sourdough bread.
Mash the avocado first before adding the ingredients.
2. Slice the avocado & remove the pit. Spoon out the avocado into a bowl. Combine the ingredients: squeeze lemon or lemon juice from a bottle, minced garlic, sea salt & fresh pepper to taste. Mash with a fork until well blended.
Use extra virgin olive oil.
3. Add a drizzle of olive oil onto the toast, spread the smashed Avocado mixture on the two slices of bread that you lightly toasted & generously sprinkle red pepper flakes on top of the avocado mixture & Enjoy!
*Avocado browns over time, so it is best to consume it immediately.
There are some health benefits to adding avocado to your diet.
Avocados contain healthy fats, particularly in the form of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids. These healthy fats can help to:
- Lower bad cholesterol levels: The monounsaturated fatty acids in avocados can help lower low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels, the “bad” cholesterol that can contribute to heart disease.
- Improve heart health: The healthy fats in avocados, along with other nutrients like fiber, potassium, and vitamin C, can help to improve heart health by reducing inflammation, regulating blood pressure, and improving cholesterol levels.
- Support weight management: Avocados are high in healthy fats and fiber, which can help to promote feelings of fullness and reduce overall calorie intake, making them good food for those trying to manage their weight.
- Promote brain function: The healthy fats in avocados are essential for brain health and may help to improve cognitive function and reduce the risk of neurological diseases.
Avocados contain high amounts of calories; therefore, consuming them moderately is crucial as part of a well-balanced diet.

How to get the perfectly ripe avocado?
Here are a few methods to ripen avocados quickly:
- Place the avocado in a brown paper bag: This will trap the ethylene gas produced by the avocado, which helps to speed up the ripening process. Leave the avocado in the bag for one to two days until it is ripe.
- Put the avocado near ripe fruit: Ripe fruit, such as bananas or apples, also produces ethylene gas. So putting the avocado near these fruits will help it ripen faster.
- Use a microwave: Place the avocado in the microwave for 10-15 seconds. This method should only be used as a last resort, as it can result in unevenly ripened fruit or a slightly mushy texture.
- Store in a warm place: If you have time, you can also place the avocado in a warm place, such as on top of the refrigerator or near a warm oven, to speed up the ripening process.
It’s important to remember that these methods may result in varying success and timeframes, so it’s best to monitor the avocado regularly to ensure it doesn’t over-ripen.
