Why Make High Protein Vegan Avocado Toast?
Avocado toast, beloved for its creamy simplicity, gets a significant nutritional upgrade here. By incorporating high-protein vegan staples—like white beans, tofu, or chickpeas—each slice delivers sustained energy and satisfaction. The addition of fresh veggies and smart seasonings means every bite bursts with robust flavor and vibrant crunch, while still supporting your nutritional goals.
Choosing and Preparing Your Avocado Topping
Start with ripe avocados for maximum creaminess. For a smooth, even spread, mash them in a bowl with lemon juice, salt, and pepper. To keep things mess-free and precise, use a Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper to quickly dice any fresh vegetables, like tomatoes or onions, you want to pile on top.
For an extra protein punch, mash white beans or chickpeas right into your avocado base. Alternatively, pan-sear crumbled tofu in a SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch until golden, then scatter it over the toast. This not only increases the protein content but also adds delicious texture.
How to Toast Perfect Bread
Select thick slices of whole grain or sprouted bread for more protein and fiber. Air fry your bread for a crispy exterior and chewy inside, using the COSORI Air Fryer 9-in-1 for fast, reliable results without the need for extra oil. If you’re baking several portions or meal prepping, layer slices on a sheet of Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll to keep your workspace and oven clean.
Customizing Your Vegan Protein Toppings
Once your bread is ready and your avocado spread is creamy, get creative with toppings:
- Fresh sliced radishes, tomatoes, or cucumbers for crunch
- Hemp seeds, chia seeds, or pumpkin seeds for healthy fat and bonus protein
- Quick-pickled onions using lemon juice for a burst of tang
- Nutty microgreens, sprouts, or baby spinach for extra nutrients
- Roasted chickpeas or crispy tofu cubes for hearty bite
For meal prep or on-the-go convenience, pack all your toppings in a Bentgo Salad Container so your toast ingredients stay fresh and crisp until assembly.
Serving Suggestions, Sides & Storage
Serve your High Protein Vegan Avocado Toast topped with freshly ground black pepper and a pinch of chili flakes for heat, or everything bagel seasoning for a fun twist. Pair with sliced fruit or a smoothie for a complete meal.
To store leftovers, keep the avocado mixture in an airtight Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Container with a squeeze of lemon on top to minimize browning, and toast fresh bread when ready to enjoy.
