Okay, so we all know what avocado toast is, we've all had avocado toast. But, this avocado toast packs some protein and has some fun sweet and savory options! The Avocado Bean Toast is just the base for toppings and different flavor combos. Which is kind of the most fun part!
Nutrition Info of Avocados and Cannellini Beans
I made this recipe to add more protein into my toast through the mashed cannellini beans. Cannellini beans are a great source of plant-based protein and they're high in fiber. Since they're high in fiber and protein, they keep you full for longer. They're also a great source of iron!
Avocados are high in vitamins K, C, E, and B-6 along with riboflavin, niacin, folate, pantothenic acid, magnesium, and potassium. They're also a great source of healthy fats, monosaturated fats, which can help lower cholesterol.
The Toppings
Now, to the fun part- the toppings! I'm a sucker for a sweet and a savory option in whatever I eat so that's why I created both options:
1. a savory with sauerkraut, everything but the bagel seasoning, olive oil, and hot sauce
2. a sweet with honey, red pepper flakes, sea salt flakes, and olive oil.
You can't go wrong with either so you should probably try them both! I like making a toast of each!!
