Nutrient-packed avo, beans, and egg on toast
Start your day right with a wholesome breakfast featuring creamy avo, protein-rich beans, and a perfectly cooked egg served on toast.
Avo and eggs are the BFFs of the breakfast world. A delicious way to start your day, packed with nutrients, proteins and good fats, you can’t go wrong with adding an avo to your breakfast.
A breakfast consisting of avocado, eggs, beans, and toast offers numerous health benefits due to the combination of nutrients and food groups it provides.
Eggs and beans are excellent sources of protein while avocado is packed with heart-healthy monounsaturated fats. These fats can help improve cholesterol levels, reduce the risk of heart disease, and support overall cardiovascular health. Recipe compliments of The South African Avocado Growers’ Association.
