This creamy avocado and pea toast is a real go-to lunch or dinner. As much as spending time in the kitchen is fun (at least for me!), I am also a big fan of simple meals
Let’s be honest- sometimes we don’t want to spent hours cooking or life happens and we have other things to do. However simple doesn’t mean it has to be less nourishing anf can be as good for our body. And our taste buds. This creamy avocado and pea toast combines both: it’s simple and quick yet tasty and satisfying.
About this avocado and pea toast
In my opinion toast always hits the spot. I think for me it’s the different textures- crunchy bread meets some kind of topping like hummus and veggies, cream cheese, tomato chickpeas…the variations are endless. And in this case, toast meets a creamy spread made of avocados and peas.
The peas do not only add some protein and make it more filling, they also contribute to creamy texture. Plus they bring along a slightly sweet taste that balances out the whole flavour well.
Apart from some avocado and peas, all you need is fresh or frozen basil, dried oregano, lemon juice, garlic and mustard. If you preferr you might also add a bit of nutritional yeast for a touch more savorines. But it will be just as good without.
The avocado and pea spread could also be served as dip or as part of a nourishing bowl. Or in form of a sandwich to enjoy when you’re out and about. In whatever way, I can assure you it will be delicious.
I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do and feel free (as with everything else on here) to leave a comment.
