🌱 Why These Ingredients Are So Good For You

Avocado (Hass variety):
Packed with heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, potassium, and fiber. Hass avocados are creamy, buttery, and perfect for smashing.

Sourdough Bread:
Naturally fermented, easier to digest than regular bread, and full of gut-friendly probiotics. Its chewy texture makes it the ultimate toast base.

Olive Oil:
Loaded with antioxidants and healthy fats. Adds smoothness to the avocado smash and keeps your heart happy.

Lemon Juice:
Brightens the flavor and adds vitamin C, which helps with iron absorption and immunity.

Sunny Side Egg:
A great source of protein, vitamin D, and choline for brain health. Adds richness that balances the creamy avocado.

Chili Oil:
Brings a spicy kick that also boosts metabolism. Plus, it makes everything taste gourmet!

Dill:
Fresh, fragrant, and packed with antioxidants. Adds a herby finish that balances the richness.

🌟 Variations & Toppings

• Vegan option: Skip the egg and top with grilled mushrooms, crispy chickpeas, or roasted tomatoes.
• Extra protein: Add smoked salmon, grilled chicken, or even my Energy Blend: Clean Protein Powder mixed into the avocado smash.
• Different herbs: Swap dill for cilantro, parsley, or chives.
• Nutty crunch: Add toasted sesame seeds, pine nuts, or sunflower seeds for texture.

🥡 Storing Tips

This toast is best eaten fresh. If prepping ahead, mash your avocado with lemon juice and olive oil to slow browning, and store in an airtight container for up to 1 day. Assemble just before serving.
