Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Place the slice of multi-grain bread into a toaster or under a broiler.
- Toast until it's golden brown and crispy, then set aside.
- Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh from one half into a bowl.
- Mash the avocado with a fork until it reaches your desired consistency. You can leave it chunky or make it smooth.
- Add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to the mashed avocado.
- Season with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
- Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
- Spread the seasoned avocado mixture evenly over the toasted slice of multi-grain bread.
- Sprinkle 1/3 tablespoon of chia seeds evenly over the spread avocado.
- Follow by sprinkling 2/3 tablespoon of sunflower seeds on top.
- Your avocado toast topped with chia and sunflower seeds is now ready to enjoy!
- Optionally, you can add a drizzle of olive oil or a pinch of red pepper flakes for extra flavor.
Tips:
- Ensure your avocado is ripe for the best taste and texture. A ripe avocado yields to gentle pressure but is not mushy.
- For extra flavor, consider toasting the sunflower seeds in a dry skillet for a few minutes until they turn golden brown.
- Use a fork to mash the avocado, but leave some chunks for added texture.
- If you prefer a tangier taste, you can add more lemon juice according to your liking.
- To prevent the avocado from browning, mix in the lemon juice immediately after mashing.
Avocado toast with chia and sunflower seeds is a quick, easy, and nutritious meal that can be enjoyed at any time of the day. By following these simple steps and tips, you can create a delicious toast that not only satisfies your taste buds but also provides a host of health benefits.
