Avocado Toast Deserves an Apology (and Some Hot Sauce)
Avocado Toast
Look, we get it. Gen Z has made avocado toast the butt of every "overpriced brunch" joke on the internet. If they’re not dragging millennials for paying $12 for it, they’re roasting us for posting it like it’s a personality trait.
But let’s be honest:
Avocado toast still slaps.
And if loving it is wrong, we don’t wanna be right.
The Joke’s On You, Gen Z…
Because while you're out here mocking brunch aesthetics, avocado is out here being a superfood MVP.
Let’s break it down:
🥑 Avocados are rich in healthy fats (specifically monounsaturated fats), which support heart health, glowing skin, and hormone balance.
🥑 They’re packed with fiber—half an avocado has about 7 grams of it, which keeps your gut happy and your blood sugar steady.
🥑 Loaded with micronutrients like potassium (more than bananas!), folate, magnesium, and vitamins B, E, and K.
Basically, this creamy green fruit is carrying more nutritional weight than your favorite pre-workout.
But Let’s Be Real: It’s Also Just Delicious
Avocado toast is one of the few things that can be:
✅ Breakfast, lunch, snack, or “I forgot to cook” dinner
✅ Classy or chaotic
✅ Sweet or savory
✅ Eaten standing at your kitchen counter in workout gear
How to Make Avocado Toast Interesting (a.k.a. Shut Down the Haters)

Pro Tip: Bread Matters
You can’t show up to a superfood party with soggy toast. Choose a bread that adds something to the experience:
Sourdough – Tangy and sturdy. Ideal for crispiness.
Sprouted grain bread – High in fiber and protein. Your gut will thank you.
Seeded rye – Earthy and nutrient-dense. Grown-woman energy.
Sweet potato slices – For a grain-free, veggie-forward twist.
So yeah, clown us if you must. But this green goddess toast is here to stay. She's tasty, she's nutrient-dense, and she's everything your body needs in one bite.
Avocado toast isn’t basic. It’s brilliant.
