Avocado Green Apple Toast (Printable Version)

A fresh toast layered with mashed avocado, sliced green apple, and pumpkin seeds for a nutritious start.

# The Ingredients You'll Need:

→ Bread

01 - 2 slices whole grain bread

→ Topping

02 - 1 ripe avocado
03 - ½ green apple, thinly sliced
04 - 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds

03 - Spread mashed avocado evenly over each toasted bread slice.
04 - Arrange thin apple slices on top of the avocado layer.
05 - Sprinkle pumpkin seeds over each toast.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It comes together in under 10 minutes but tastes like you actually tried, which matters when you're eating alone or feeding someone you care about.
  • The texture contrast—creamy, crisp, crunchy—keeps every bite interesting instead of the usual mushy breakfast monotony.
  • It's naturally vegetarian and dairy-free without feeling restrictive or like you're missing something essential.
02 -
  • If you prep the avocado more than a few minutes before assembly, even with lemon juice, it will oxidize and turn brownish-gray, which tastes fine but looks sad and makes you feel rushed.
  • The apple loses its snap quickly once it meets the warm toast, so slice it last, just before you're ready to eat—waiting even five minutes changes the whole textural experience.
03 -
  • Keep your avocados in the fridge if you live somewhere warm—they ripen more predictably and you won't waste them to overripeness like they're playing some cruel game.
  • Slice your green apple right into the bowl of lemon juice as you go, which both flavors it subtly and prevents browning in case you're slightly slower than you planned to be.
