Healthy Avocado Toast 🥑

Hi there! I hope you’ll like this recipe as much as I do. I tried to optimize health benefits and taste. it’s also a very easy recipe to make, perfect for break-fast, keep energy levels high and satisfy our gut.

The 3 main ingredients here are Pistachios, Avocado and Wild Salmon. They are all highly nutritious foods that provide numerous health benefits.

Avocados are rich in healthy fats, particularly monounsaturated fats, which are heart-healthy and can help reduce bad cholesterol levels. They're also high in fiber, which aids in digestion and helps you feel full. Additionally, avocados contain a variety of vitamins and minerals, including potassium, vitamin K, vitamin E, and vitamin C. It’s not necessary to choose them organic.

Salmon is an excellent source of high-quality protein, which is essential for maintaining muscle mass and promoting bone health. It's also rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which are great for your heart and brain, and can help reduce inflammation. Additionally, salmon is high in B vitamins, which are necessary for energy production and maintaining optimal brain and nervous system function. Choose it wild caught and verify there are no sugar, citric acid, sugar or other additives! Verify the ingredients on the label, you’ll be surprised! The one I used on the picture is a wild Sockeye salmon from Alaska.

Pistachios are a good source of healthy fats, dietary fiber, protein, antioxidants, and various nutrients, including iron, vitamin B6 and thiamine. Their health benefits include promoting heart and gut health, and controlling blood sugar levels.
