Gut Healthy Avocado Toast with Miso Mayo | High Protein
Not Just Another Avocado Toast: What sets this avocado toast apart from the rest? It’s the special miso mayo, a fusion of tofu and miso paste. This combo doesn’t just level up the taste but also bolsters gut health.
Ingredients
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 1-2 avocados
- 1-2 tbsp hemp seeds
For Miso Mayonnaise:
- 150 g silken tofu (approximately 1/2 block)
- 2 tbsp miso paste
- 1 tbsp squeezed lemon
Instructions
Preparing the Sourdough Bread:
- Start by toasting your sourdough bread slices to your desired level of crispiness. You can use a toaster oven, a regular toaster, or a skillet on the stovetop.
- Once toasted, set the slices aside.
Making the Miso Mayonnaise:
- In a blender or food processor, combine 150 grams of silken tofu, lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons of miso paste. Blend until the mixture achieves a smooth consistency.
Assembling the Toast:
- Slice the avocados.
- Spread a generous amount of the miso mayonnaise over each toasted sourdough slice.
- Top each slice with an even portion of the avocado slices.
- Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of hemp seeds over the avocado layer on each slice for an added protein boost.
- (Optional) For even more protein, consider adding pan-fried or baked tempeh, tofu, or your choice of vegan meat alternatives on top.
Notes
Preparation & Storage Tips:
Meal prep: If you're prepping for busy mornings, toast the bread and prepare the miso mayonnaise ahead. Store them separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator. When it's time to eat, assemble the toppings and savor the freshness.
Avocado: To prevent browning, drizzle lemon juice on avocado slices.
Toast Leftover Storage: Consume leftovers within a day to maintain freshness and optimal taste.
