AVOCADO ON SOURDOUGH

-

what? With its creamy consistenc­y and intense mushabilit­y (if it isn’t a word, it should be), there’s a reason why you’ll struggle to scroll through Instagram mid-saturday morning without spotting some #avocadotoa­st.

the tribe Never knowingly not brunching early. Can be found in M&S with a ’cado in each hand testing the validity of the ‘ready to eat’ sticker. Has googled: can you eat too much avocado?

the nutrition Avocado is loaded with vitamin E, fibre and healthy fats such as omega-9, which makes it a great choice for breakfast. In short: it fills you up. Crush/spread it on to toast and you’ll get another hit of fibre. But while the fat found in avos is the good stuff, try not to start every day with a hit. ‘As a rule of thumb, I’d suggest having avocado for breakfast three times a week,’ says nutritioni­st Angelique Panagos. ‘That’s not to say there’s anything wrong with having healthy fat first thing, but variety is important, so you should try to mix up your morning meals.’ To really supercharg­e this breakfast, she suggests adding some eggs for protein. Plus, you know, the yellow of the yolk looks great against the green of the avo. Just sayin’.
