Mornings are the craziest time of day in our homes.  Getting everyone up, dressed and fed a protein-packed breakfast is much like running a marathon.  With all that chaos, what is the one thing you usually forget to do in the morning?

Well, if you’re anything like us, it’s easy to forget to feed yourself.  And by the time you’ve realized how hungry you are, the only thing to eat is a handful of goldfish at the bottom of your diaper bag.  That’s just a recipe for disaster, now isn’t it mamas.  We know we talk a lot about breakfast, but truly, it is the most important meal of the day, and too often we forget to eat it.  So…

Now we know that we aren’t the first to shout from the roof-tops about our love for avocado toast, but we would like to credit ourselves with perfecting this new-fangled breakfast staple to make it a daily go-to for busy moms, who often forget to feed themselves.

Protein-Packed Avocado Toast

  • 1-2 slices Whole grain bread (or your favorite type of bread)
  • 1/4-1/2 Avocado
  • 1 Egg (or 2 egg whites)
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tbsp butter or butter substitute (optional)
  1. The simplicity of this recipe is the best part about it.  Toast your bread, and then spread the butter on top of your toasted bread.  Mash the avocado and spread across the toast.  Top with scrambled eggs (you can put an egg in the microwave, scrambled, for 60 seconds and save yourself the headache of scrambling on the stove) and dress with your favorite toppings!
