During the month of December, things felt a little more hectic than usual around our house. Between traveling, working and getting ourselves organized for Christmas, I found myself slacking a bit when it came to preparing well-rounded meals. Cereal and oatmeal were enjoyed for lunch and dinner a handful of times which isn’t a big deal, but I knew I would feel more satisfied if I ate meals that were a little more nutritious.
Hello avocado toast!
This avocado toast is easy to make and packed with healthy fat and fiber!
After I received an email with a recipe for avocado toast from Top Chef Richard Blais, who is currently partnering with Benefiber, I gave the dish a try and thought it was fantastic! (Ryan gave it rave reviews as well.) The cayenne added a nice kick to the agave mustard and I could not taste the powdered Benefiber at all!
Here is the recipe, shared with Chef Richard Blais’ permission:
Avocado Toast with Agave Mustard
Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados, shelled and roughly chopped
- 4 slices whole wheat bread, toasted
- sea salt to taste
- 1/2 lemon or lime, juiced
- cilantro or parsley leaves, a few pieces
- Agave Mustard:
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- pinch cayenne
- 1 tablespoon agave nectar
- 2 teaspoons Benefiber
- 2 tablespoons warm water
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
Directions
- Mix Benefiber and water and then combine with mayonnaise
- Add remaining agave mustard ingredients and reserve agave mustard
- Simply mix the avocado with the salt and lime juice and top on the toasted bread
- Drizzle with the agave mustard and top with cilantro or parsley and a squeeze of lemon or lime
As you can see, I changed up the order of the recipe when I made it and spread the agave mustard on the bread before topping it with the avocado. I also topped it with freshly ground pepper which I thought added a nice kick to the avocado toast. Highly recommended!
