Make it an Avo-licious and Healthy Breakfast!

SMEAR IT
Mash up an avocado for a savory spread on toast or bagels; eat it solo or alongside your favorite eggs.

BREAKFAST A GO-GO
Dice up an avocado into a tortilla with scrambled eggs and wrap it to go ? instant no-drip salsa!

WHIRL IT
Make your smoothies creamy and dairy free with luscious avocado. They love being paired with sweet, tart fruits like berries, pineapple and mango.

THE BETTER BUTTER
Cut down on saturated fats by replacing ? the butter in your favorite quick bread recipe with super ripe avocado. Sshhhh, the green is subtle so no one will know!

THE CROWNING TOUCH
Slice up an avocado over a hearty omelet or a tofu and veggie scramble for a cool contrast.

Have you ever thought of having avocados with breakfast? What about for your kids? It’s early, they need to get to school- you want something quick but something good for them too- why not go back to one of the first foods you fed them? You remember how good for you avocados are….why not?

I don’t know why I haven’t thought of using avocados for breakfast with my preschooler. He likes fruit and veggies- and also likes toast, pancakes and waffles- so I figured I’d give one of these breakfast recipes a shot for him.

Kid-approved and healthy, avocados are packed with nearly 20 vitamins and minerals, including B-complex vitamins that support memory ? perfect for learning those times tables and state capitals! Avocados also have fiber, which not only keeps things running smoothly but also satisfies hunger longer for less desk-time tummy growling.

First is the Bacon, Egg and Avocado Breakfast Sandwich

Ingredients:
6 slices bacon, halved
4 large eggs
Salt
Ground black pepper
4 english muffins, split horizontally
1 fully ripened avocado from Mexico, halved, pitted and peeled

Preparation:

In large skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crisp; remove to paper towels to drain. Remove all but 1 tablespoon bacon drippings from pan. In a small bowl, whisk eggs with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper, pour into skillet; cook and stir until scrambled and almost firm. Meanwhile, toast the English muffins. In a small bowl, coarsely mash the avocado with a fork; add salt and pepper to taste. Spread avocado mash onto all English muffin pieces dividing equally. Divide bacon and scrambled eggs onto English muffin bottoms; add tops. Serve warm.

I made this one for my son- simply toast with an avocado spread (with halved grape tomatoes)…

Above are the avocados that were sent to me for my review…and below is the toast spread that I made out of them.

Yum!

I think that next I am going to try the Dairy Free Berry Avocado Smoothie. He will never know!
