I still remember the first time I made avocado toast. It was one of those mornings where I woke up late, feeling sluggish and unmotivated. I needed something quick yet nourishing—something that would wake me up and set the tone for the rest of the day. I spotted a perfectly ripe avocado sitting on my counter, begging to be used. With some crispy toast, a sprinkle of salt, and a squeeze of lemon, I took my first bite… and wow! It was creamy, zesty, and packed with flavor. Since then, it’s been my go-to breakfast when I want something effortless yet satisfying.
