Fancy Avocado Toast. Avocado Toast just got fancy. Mix up the toppings and try something new! From pomegranate arils to roasted butternut squash to chia seeds. .  everything can go on there. Get creative!

Happy Monday you guys!

This past weekend was crazy and packed. I am barely standing and might have to load up on two smoothies today. Energy boosting ones. Yesterday, I shot 3 new videos for the blog (coming soon!) and I’m getting ready for my next local TV station video shoot tomorrow . . I love being in front of the camera but the prep time and getting everything organized is so time consuming. Not to mention testing the recipes. Sooooo, I’m keeping this post short today!

Yes, I’m still on the healthy train. .  and I haven’t been really trying but I’ve found myself eating hardly any meat these days. When I eat things like this, I think being a vegetarian is completely possible.

Avocado toast you guys. We’re getting fancy today.

My friend Chi came over last week and I made some simple avocado toast for her. I pick up one of those bags of avocados from Costco . . I feel like once they all get ripe, you either make lots of guacamole, avocado toast, throw some into salads or wraps or just eat them plain. Regardless, I’m eating avocados for like 4 to 5 days straight (if they last for that long).

I wanted to get a little creative with the toppings here. .  because hey, avocado toast can be fun! Mix it up! Throw something outrageous and delicious on there!

You might think the pomegranate arils are a weird choice. .  but try it! I absolutely loved the crunch, texture and sweetness they added to this toast! This was seriously so delicious!

And I got the idea of adding roasted butternut squash and the pomegranate arils after seeing this.

Which made me shoot this. Apparently, there’s a guy on Instagram, and all he does is shoot stuff he’s holding on his hand. These are a guy’s hands right?!

And I’ve been loading up on the chia seeds and hemp seeds into my smoothies, so this had to happen.

And the egg. Well, this one is just a no brainer. I devoured this one first. I love eggs so much.

Fancy Avocado Toast

I like to add salted butter on my avocado toast, which might seem unnecessary and indulgent. This is completely optional but if you've never tried it, you should.*
