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.
So, try these recipes. Or try something fabulous on your own.
Just MAKE SOME TOAST! And get creative!
Happy Monday you guys! Wishing everyone a fabulous week!!!

Oh Wow – Alice you sure did fancy up avocado toast! Not only do these look gorgeous but the combinations sound delicious! I am especially intrigued by the butternut squash and the pomegranate arils combo! And…I checked out @whatimholding – those are some pretty hands indeed!
Congrats on all your video shoots – I hope you post a link to the TV one here. Happy Monday!
Good luck with all your video shoots! Now that you’re in the big time, we’ll have to say we knew you when. But it’s definitely fun doing videos. It’s the blog wave of the future! And whoever’s kitchen you were using to film in yesterday is a very lucky person. I need that kitchen!
This looks great. Power snack!
I love the Instagram hand guy and shots like this! This avo toast looks super yummy! Love all the variations 🙂 ps. Happy New Year and good luck with your video shoots. I love your channel and can´t wait to see more! Xo
I don’t think I could ever be on TV, Alice! I’d probably just freeze! & can you believe I’ve never had avocado toast! I’ve only had it in guac and sushi! Love the topping ideas – especially the butternut squash! Can’t wait to expand my horizons!
I always love avocado toast and egg on top. Adding pomegranate sounds fantastic and I can’t wait to see more of your videos.
Sounds like your year is off to a great start, Alice! I can’t wait to see your upcoming videos! And I’m loving this avocado toast. I’ve been making this a lot lately, so I can’t wait to try this version. Sounds perfect!
How exciting! It looks like 2016 is off to an amazing start for you!
This really is some fancy avocado on toast and I like the one with the egg on it.
So fun! I can’t wait to see all your new videos, Alice! 🙂 And I LOVE all those delicious toppings you put on the avocado toast! I want them all!! So so pretty!
That looks so dang delish! I’m in love with avocados lately. This is just so pretty with all those toppings.
You are totally amazing in front of a camera and I love all your videos! Wish I had your talents, but I’m a weird awkward mess in front of a camera! I’ve been seeing your gorgeous avocado toast all over social media, so I’m glad you posted this! Give me all the jazzed up avocado toast on the planet! Cheers, girlfriend and keep on rockin!
Haha, is it weird that as soon as I read the title to this blog, I pictured the avocado toast singing “I’m so fancy, you already know?” by Iggy Azalea? Toooo funny. Forreals though this toast is super fancy and super delicious. Cheers!
I am all about avocados lately. It’s weird because I used to not like them. Now I can’t enough of them! Love that you used them to jazz up boring toast! I’m definitely doing this for breakfast! Good luck with your shoots! Your videos are always great!!
I still haven’t jumped on the avocado toast train (eek, I know!), but yours is really tempting me to!
So colorful! Who wouldn’t want to eat this? I love doing avocado toast with ripe tomatoes, a pinch of sea salt and a drizzle of balsamic.
Wowowow! This is some fancy toast! I’m happy with just butter…so this – this is special! I don’t even know where to begin…
The radish and chia would definitely be my fave- I have a soft spot for both of those as toppings on avo toast! Such colorful options 🙂
Toast is such a fun thing to get creative with! These all look fabulous and so packed with good stuff too! (I am so stoked to see your next videos!)
I love all these toppings Alice! looking forward to your videos!!
I love all these combinations! So colorful and happy!
I could eat avocado toast every day!
Congrats on all the videos and a TV shoot, awesome and Congrats. So thrilled for you.
These definitely are some great fancy toasts and the variations are wonderful. Would be perfect any time of the day and for a girls party. So so colorful and lovely.
Have a wonderful week Alice.
xx
They’re all so pretty it’s hard to pick my favorite! But I do love all the seeds on the radish one. Yum Alice!
I am a great lover of avocado toast. I totally get you on adding salted butter – I’ve done that before and it totally elevates the butteriness of the avocado (plus adds that salty deliciousness) to another level! Pomegranate arils are a great addition – i tend to top my guacamole with them these days, alongside a drizzle of lemon oil. Such pops of sweetness and crunch! Yay for a delicious edition of the ‘healthy train’ 😉 Happy new year lovely! xxx
I LOVE avocado toast and all your variations look beautiful and fun! Can’t wait to watch your new videos!
I used to try hard to find one place to get healthy recipes and will always have to go around the interwebs but I am coming here all the time now for healthy recipes. I love it yo!! You are the boss and these toasts are so happening for a quick lunch this weekend.
I am starting to totally obsess over avocado.
It’s just so friggin’ good… And adopts all flavors! MMmmmm!
