Notes
- Avocado toast has hit such a fever pitch (thank you, Instagram!) that some people are saying they're over it. Not me. Packed with fiber and heart-healthy monounsaturated fatty acids, avocados contain more potassium than a banana. And their creamy texture and rich flavor are simply made for a crunchy slice of toast; this is a near-perfect combination.
