Pictures of Toast (photos)

Most mornings I eat an avocado on toast, topped with other good things. That's my favourite breakfast at the moment.

Avocados may have fat in them, but it's the good kind, and unlike fries, avocados also provide you with other nutrients that your body needs to function. Eat avocados!

Here are some links if you want to learn more about why avocados are good for you.
Can we look at some pictures of toast now?

Above: Sometimes you can just smear some guacamole on your toast.

Above: Hummus, red pepper spread, tomatoes, avocado, olives and sprouts.

Above: Sometimes I have toast with nut butters. Top them with fruit! Pomegranates and strawberries are nice. I also like raspberries. They are all a nice little sour contrast to the sweet nut butter.

Above: Nut butters are also good with nuts, bananas, cacao nibs, honey and bee pollen.

Above: You could also add dried fruits. Here we have cranberries and goji berries.

Above: Just honey with nuts and bee pollen. Use raw honey if possible.
It'll melt nicely on warm toast like this. If you're vegan, this one isn't for you.

Above: Elvis would have loved this. PB and B.

Above: You can also use seed butters. This is pumpkin seed butter and banana.
