In our house we call this “heaven on bread” because it is just so delicious, and in fact I came up with it originally to trick my daughter into trying avocado toast because she loves strawberries so much. Plus, you can pair it with some strawberry soda for bonus points!
In our house, we try to reduce processed foods as much as possible, which includes bread. In fact until we had our daughter, we hadn’t owned a toaster for eight years. But with toddlers, come adjustments and doing your best to get them to eat…anything.
That’s why avocado toast is so great, because you are packing so much into one slice, that it’s a full serving all on its own. Instead of having two boring pieces of toast for breakfast, you can have one slice topped with this most luscious combo of flavors, with enough fats in the avocado to satiate you.
Most people don’t think of combining strawberries and avocado on toast, but it’s not as weird as it sounds, and with the honey, it’s almost like dessert! In fact, with this trio of strawberries, avocado and shallots, you won’t know if it’s for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or all three! What you may know, is that you’ll want a second helping.
Nutritious avocado brings healthy fats to the table, while fresh strawberries and raw honey bring the sweet antioxidants. If you grow microgreens, this is the perfect opportunity to use them.
