Are you tired of boring breakfasts or soggy cereal, or do you need a change in your routine? It’s time to start with a savory and protein-packed breakfast treat: Avocado Cottage Cheese Toast. This creamy, satisfying toast is packed with protein and entirely customizable. And the best part? It’s so simple—you can make it with just a toaster and a fork!
It doesn’t matter if you live in a dorm with a mini-fridge, a small apartment, or even a house. This breakfast is the perfect, under-10-minute meal for your brain. Breakfast is the day’s most important meal, so why not do it right?
💪 The MVPs of Your Morning Meal
- 1 slice of bread cut in half (whole grain or sourdough) whichever you prefer.
- ¼ cup low-fat cottage cheese
- ½ of an avocado (not to squishy not to hard)
- Salt, pepper, and chili flakes to taste
Optional Goodies: cherry tomatoes, hemp seeds, (drizzle of hot sauce or balsamic glaze)
🥦 Why Your Body Will Thank You
Avocado, a versatile superfood, fuels your body with healthy fats. Packed with vitamins (A, D, K, E), it’s a powerhouse that supports your brain and muscles, keeping you alert and aiding muscle recovery during and after workouts.
Cottage Cheese: a protein-packed powerhouse that fuels your body. A ¼ scoop of cottage cheese can energize your body, muscles, and brain with about 7-8g of protein. This breakfast is a perfect pick-me-up, providing all your body’s essentials for a gym session or exercise.
Whole Grain Bread: Whole grain bread provides the body with many fibers, such as vitamin B and magnesium. In other words, it gives your body more energy to help your brain fire faster and keeps you from feeling tired. It is also heart-healthy, helps with digestion, and controls blood sugar.
Sourdough Bread: Because sourdough bread is fermented, it helps break down gluten acids, making it easier for the body to digest. It also contains high probiotics, suitable for gut health, and won’t spike your blood pressure.
Optional Goodies: I like to add hot sauce because it adds more flavor to the meal and boosts metabolism due to its capsaicin content. Another favorite I like to combine with this meal is adding tomatoes and balsamic glaze. Tomatoes are high in vitamins (A, B, and K) and support immune health, cell growth, and blood pressure. The balsamic glaze adds a sweet and tangy flavor, provides antioxidants, and helps regulate blood sugar levels. Adding bagel seasoning also gives your meal an extra crunch!
💡 Fast Fix:
If you are someone who doesn’t enjoy cottage cheese, you can swap it out for an egg. I am someone who doesn’t particularly like eggs, so I enjoy cottage cheese. Here is some excellent advice I want to give people who have reservations about cottage cheese: typically because they haven’t tried it, don’t hate it before you try it. Just adding a little salt and pepper to it makes it so very yummy and packed with protein. Fuel your brain with flavor and not caffeine, and give your body the nutrition it needs. Breakfast is the day’s most important meal and sets you up for success!
