Avocado toast is a tasty fad, but simply smearing a little green superfood on your breakfast bread won’t give you the protein you need to fuel a full day of climbing outside or a tough indoor session. Here are four easy ways to power up your toast with protein for a filling breakfast, recover meal, or quick healthy dinner. Keep it fresh by switching it up with a variety of tasty toppings.

Ingredients:

  • 1 slice Ezekiel Bread (sprouted grains provide an extra 4 grams of complete protein per slice)
  • 1/5 ripe avocado
  • ½ - ¾ cup spinach
  • Toppings of your choice: 1.5 oz sharp cheddar cheese, 2 oz Smoked Salmon, 2 eggs, or ½ cup tofu
  • Optional: add salt, pepper, hot sauce, and/or salsa to taste

Directions: Cheesy Avocado Toast

  1. Lightly toast bread.
  2. Spread evenly with avocado. Add an optional dash or two of salt and/or pepper.
  3. Top with spinach and layer slices of sharp cheddar cheese on top.
  4. Place in toaster oven or oven preheated to 400°F for five minutes or until cheese is melted.
  5. Top with optional hot sauce or salsa.
