Everyone agrees that an avocado is an excellent addition to your healthy diet.  The nutritional advantages of avocados are numerous including good fats, Vitamins A, C, D, K and E, folate and potassium.

So why the obsession?  No one knows for sure but it probably became popular because of the nutritional  value combined with the fact that it is easy to make.  In order to keep avocado toast on the healthy side it is important to choose a whole-grain bread without  added chemicals, artificial color and flavors  or preservatives.

There are dozens of options for making avocado toast.  Following are a few recipes we thought you might enjoy:
