5min Avocado Toast

Avocado toast has gained heightened popularity within the past couple of years. If you follow NBA star Matthew Dellavedova on social media, Delly seems to have avocado toast + a black cup of coffee every morning.

Considering the nutritional value of this simplistic dish, I can see why Delly chooses to do so! 

Adding an egg to your avocado toast provides 6g of high quality protein for muscle maintenance, growth & development and repair/recovery. Eggs also contain an essential nutrient called choline. Naturally present in some foods, choline plays a vital role in metabolism, memory, brain and nervous system function,  and muscle control.

Avocado toast is a great choice when chosen to be used as a meal (having 2 slices and adding on some healthful sides), a snack and as a post-workout! 

Avocado toast can be made either savory or sweet! The options are endless so let your creative juices flow! But if you'd like to give my creation a try, here's what you'll need:

Ingredients & Instructions:

1. 1-2 Slices Whole Wheat Bread - Toasted (I used Seedlicious bread with probiotics)
2. 1/4 of a Medium Avocado mashed on both
3. 1 Egg pan-fried in olive oil cooking spray on low-medium heat (I love using a runnier yolk on the toast)
4. 1-2 Slices Tomato
5. 2 cups raw spinach sautéed in olive oil cooking spray on stove-top
6. Lightly season with salt and pepper
7. Cholulua hot-sauce drizzled on top 

Nutrient Timing: 

• 3-4 hours Pre-Game/Workout
• Post-Game/Workout
