Upgrade your avocado toast with the addition of fresh sliced strawberries and a sprinkle of hemp hearts. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a quick snack.
Remember when avocado toast used to be so edgy and avant-garde?
“You mean you’re smashing avocado…on toasted bread?” *incredulous stare*
Now it seems like every hip restaurant has a version of “avocado toast” on the menu, just to prove their currency.
Yesterday, at the airport, pouring over the pre-packaged foods for something, anything I could grab for the five hour plane ride, I saw pre-packaged “Avocado Toasts”.
It was essentially a handful of half-crumbled crackers and suspicious-looking smashed avocado, but still.
We can now eat avocado toast up in the air, guys.
Whether you’ve been on the avocado toast train a while or are just getting on board, I think you’re going to love these Strawberry Hemp Heart Avocado Toast.
Avocado and fresh berries smashed together on your favorite toast-y bread is basic in the absolute BEST way.
I’m writing you this post from California, where I’m hanging out for the next few days to attend Nat Products Expo West.
If I’m being honest, it was hard to extricate myself from the daily grind back at home, but I’m glad temporarily live with a change of pace and scenery.
So, since I’m off sampling all of the latest brands and foodie trends, I’m going to leave you with a sampler of your own.
I thought I could take this opportunity to share with you one of my all-time favorite recipes, a classic that I keep coming back to no matter the season.
It’s so good, in fact, that I recall driving all the way home from work during a slow morning at the office, just to toast one up and devour on the ride back.
Priorities.
This toast looks modest and then you take a bite and realize it’s a total DIVA.
We start with toast-y seeded bread topped with my favorite smashed healthy fats and bursting ripe berries.
Add a sprinkle of hemp hearts for extra seed-y protein and nutty flavor.
If you’re feeling extra sweet, add a drizzle of maple syrup or honey to enhance the sweetness of the berries.
I like the firm texture of strawberries here for this toast, but variations are welcome, too!
If you don’t have strawberries on hand, try making this recipe with your favorite berry instead.
Raspberries or blueberries would be great here, too.
Whip up these Strawberry Hemp Heart Avocado Toasts for an easy breakfast, brunch, or snack.
In just 5 minutes you have a meal out of your toaster that feels restaurant worthy.
They’re ideal for spring and summer months when fresh berries are in season, but you can enjoy it all year round!
I love mine with some torn basil on top to contrast with the fresh berries and creamy avocado.
You can also top your toast with another slice of toasted bread to create a sandwich!
Enjoy!
