Recipe of the day: Tuna avo aioli bagel toasts

If toast is your go-to-breakfast, say goodbye to the mundane and zoosh things up with a toasted bagel topped with tuna, avocado, and a drizzle of aioli.

Or why not make those Belgian waffles green with envy?

Try avocado waffles loaded with savoury mince, topped off with slices of fresh avocado of course!

And let’s not forget about the classic breakfast staple: eggs.

We’re giving this beloved dish a VIP upgrade by serving it on a crispy Parmesan base, topped with avocado, spinach, and a zesty tomato chilli jam.

Someone once said that breakfast is a celebration of nourishment and gratitude.

Adding avocados to your morning routine is a fantastic way to kickstart your day, as they’re packed with monounsaturated fats and essential nutrients like vitamin K and biotin.

With avocados available almost all year round in South Africa, there’s no excuse not to indulge in these nutrient-packed treasures.

So go ahead, add an avocado to your healthy eating plan, and savour the creamy goodness!
