This 3 ingredient breakfast is a go-to for me. My other go-to is a delicious Fruit and Greens Smoothie. But avocado just makes me soooo happy in the morning. And when I discovered I could buy Everything Bagel Seasoning at the store, I was in heaven!
I was actually at a restaurant in Temple, TX when I had my first Everything Bagel Seasoned Avocado Toast. At Meg’s, there is a little more to it including pickled radishes and some greens. Plus, I’m pretty sure their was some added oil, which made it delicious, but less nutritious….

But the Everything Bagel Seasoning made it SO tasty, so I knew I had to find it at the store. When I did, it took my daily breakfast to a whole new level!
So basically I cut an avocado in half and then I use my knife to draw vertical and horizontal lines in the avocado half. This helps with breaking it up in pieces. I use a spoon to scoop out the now diced avocado onto my toasted Ezekiel Bread and spread it around. PS – I prefer the Sesame Ezekiel Bread.

Then lightly sprinkle with Everything Bagel Seasoning. NOTE – the Everything Bagel Seasoning I have found DOES contain sodium – 80 mg. One of these days, I’m going to just buy all the ingredients and make my own with out the salt.
I try to buy ripe avocados (dark & firm, but slightly soft when squeezed)
If they are not ripe (hard & green), then I put them right next to my bananas on the counter. They will ripen super fast – in about a day or so!
I store my ripe avocados in my fridge crisper. This makes them last much longer.
Only using 1/2 an avocado? Leave the seed in the side you aren’t using and cover it tightly with plastic wrap – I like Glad Press N Seal – then store in your fridge crisper. It will last a 1-2 days. If it is slightly browned on top, you can scrape it off and still use the rest of the avocado.
Add Arugula to your Avocado Toast
These days I’m adding Arugula to top off my avocado toast so I can get more dark leafy greens in everyday. Arugula is also a cruciferous vegetable which has TWICE the cancer-fighting properties than other vegetables. Arugula is now my FAVORITE go-to greens to add to my salads & sandwiches too. It’s got a delicious spicy flavor to it!
Put slice of Ezekiel Bread in toaster. You can also use any whole grain bread alternatively.
Spread 1/2 an avocado on toast.
Sprinkle with Everything Bagel Seasoning if desired. You can leave it plain or try other seasonings as well.
Notes
I like to top my avocado toast with a handful of arugula from extra greens in the morning!
I keep my Ezekiel Bread in the refrigerator (it’s found in the freezer section of the supermarket), so that I can easily toast it because it is already thawed.
If you have it frozen, you might need to put it in the microwave for 10 seconds or toast a little longer.
The internet loved the avocado and there was even a change.org campaign to introduce an avocado emoji back then. One of the biggest reasons that boosted the rise of the avocado toast is tied to an increased focus on wellness. Loved for its high nutritional benefits, the avocado has risen in popularity over the years.
Is Avocado Toast Healthier Than A Bagel? It can be, for sure. That is unless you buy your bagel at a health food store and get the super healthy kind. But even then, toast is usually lower in calories and sometimes even lower in carbs than a bagel.
Avocado toast consists of not much more than mashed avocado spread on toast. Meanwhile, guacamole toast is just what it sounds like—toast spread with guacamole, which is made from mashed avocado with add-ins such as onion, cilantro, and chiles.
Being that they're a fruit, avocados are very low in protein. Protein is super important in the morning — it gives you a boost of energy and keeps you full longer. Avocado toast is essentially carb + fat.
Daily avocado consumption may even prevent weight gain, per a 2019 study in Nutrients. In addition, a 2021 study in The Journal of Nutrition found that enjoying an avocado a day may help to reduce visceral fat among females.
In a nutshell: Yes, avocado toast is good for weight loss, and adopting a healthier eating pattern can help you lose weight, which reduces your risk of developing heart disease, high cholesterol, and Type 2 diabetes.
What's the Best Bread for Avocado Toast? Whatever your favorite dense toasting bread is will work for this recipe. However, your body will get more when you choose a bread rich in nutrients—that's why our recipe calls for whole grain bread. The fiber in whole grain bread will also keep you fuller for longer.
The best bread for avocado toast is without a doubt sourdough bread. I'm talking about a thick hunky slice of rustic country sourdough bread. Another great option is pumpernickel bread which pairs so well with creamy avocado. Speaking of toast, make sure to toast the bread until it's browned and crisp on the edges.
Three large boiled eggs contain less than 230 calories. By adding a generous serving of vegetables, along with a source of fiber and fat like sliced avocado, you're able to have a complete meal for 500 calories.
We've all heard the stereotype. Millennials eat avocado toast (so say the older generations). The uncharitable version is that they can't afford other things like cars, houses, etcetera due to their expensive consumption habits otherwise. And avocado on toast is the standard bearer for that spendthrift consumption.
Rich in heart-healthy fats, vitamins, and antioxidants, avocados became a staple in the trendy Mediterranean and ketogenic diets. Today, the avocado's journey from obscurity to obsession is complete.
Avocados are high in fat with 60 per cent of this being monounsaturated fats, which research suggests helps to protect against heart disease and lower blood pressure. They are also an excellent source of potassium, folate and fibre, all of which benefit the heart and cardiovascular system.
Avocados are praised for their versatility, rich nutrient profile, and numerous health benefits. From heart-healthy fats to fiber and antioxidants, they support various aspects of well-being.
