Share this blog:

Looking for a delicious and nutritious way to start your day? High protein vegan avocado toast is your answer! This simple yet tasty option combines the creamy goodness of avocado with plant-based protein sources, giving you a healthy boost.

You’ll love how easy it is to make. Just toast your favorite bread, mash some ripe avocado, and add protein-packed toppings like chickpeas or tofu. It’s a breakfast that’s as satisfying as it is wholesome.

What You Need

First, grab some ripe avocados. They should be soft but not mushy.

Next, pick your favorite type of bread. Sourdough, whole grain, or gluten-free are all good options.

You’ll need a source of plant-based protein. Chickpeas, tofu, or tempeh work well. Choose what you like best. If you want to have the most amount of protein, opt for tempeh. Chickpeas have the least amount of protein out of all the three options.

Spices and seasoning are key. Salt, pepper, red chili flakes, or paprika will add flavor.

Fresh vegetables make it even better. Think tomatoes, onions, spinach, or radishes.

Lastly, have some olive oil on hand. It helps everything come together and adds a nice touch.

Tool Requirements

To make high-protein vegan avocado toast, you’ll need a few tools. Start with a sharp knife to slice the avocado. A cutting board is also essential to keep your work area clean and safe.

You’ll need a fork to mash the avocado. A small bowl helps mix in any additional ingredients like lemon juice or spices.

A toaster or oven is necessary to toast the bread to your liking. Different people like different levels of toastiness.

For spreading the mashed avocado on the toast, use a spoon or a butter knife. It’s easier to spread evenly with these tools.

If you like toppings, a microplane or grater is useful for adding flavors like garlic or zesting lemon.

These tools make your cooking experience smoother and more enjoyable. Happy bread toasting!

Preparing The Ingredients

First, get a ripe avocado. You know it’s ready when it gives a little when you squeeze it.

Next, grab some whole-grain bread. Make sure it’s fresh and not stale.

For extra protein, gather tofu, chickpeas, or tempeh. Any of these will work well. If using tofu or tempeh, drain from moisture.

You’ll also need some fresh vegetables. Tomatoes, spinach, and arugula are good choices.

Spices and seasoning are key. Salt, pepper, and some red chili flakes add a nice kick.

Finally, don’t forget the lemon. A little juice will keep your avocado fresh and add flavor.

Storage Tips

• When storing your high-protein vegan avocado toast, the key is keeping it fresh and tasty.
• First, always store the bread and avocado separately. This prevents the bread from getting soggy.
• If you’ve already prepared the avocado spread, keep it in an airtight container. To avoid browning, add a bit of lemon or lime juice.
• For the other toppings, such as tofu or beans, store them in separate containers. This keeps everything fresh and flavors intact.
• If you plan to eat the toast the next day, toast the bread right before serving. This ensures it’s still crispy.
• For a quick grab-and-go, you can pre-cut your avocado and store it in the fridge. Just make sure it’s tightly sealed to keep it fresh.
