Avocado + Tofu Toast

Why This Recipe Works This breakfast isn’t just delicious—it’s packed with nutrients that fuel your body and mind. Protein Boost: Tofu provides extra protein, making this more filling than regular avocado toast. Healthy Fats: Avocado and pumpkin seeds offer satisfying healthy fats to keep you energized. Fiber-Rich: Whole grain bread and avocado are excellent sources of fiber for better digestion and heart health. Crunch & Flavor: Cherry tomatoes, pumpkin seeds, and red pepper flakes add satisfying texture and taste. Versatile & Quick: Avocado and tofu toast is perfect for busy mornings or a satisfying snack anytime. Swap It + Smart Tips The beauty of avocado and tofu toast is its flexibility. No tofu? Try chickpeas or white beans for added protein. Craving more flavor? Sprinkle with nutritional yeast or drizzle with hot sauce. Pro Tip Make a big batch of the avocado-tofu mixture and store it in the fridge for quick breakfasts all week. Why It Matters For You: Every bite of this avocado and tofu toast fuels your body with plant-powered protein, fiber, and healthy fats—supporting your gut, heart, and overall health. For the Planet: Egg production uses about 50 gallons of water per egg. This toast? Way less. Choosing plant-based, even a few times a week, helps preserve resources, lower emissions, and protect animals. Win-win-win. Share Your Version Tried this recipe?
