Ready in 5 minutes, this satisfying no-cook Avocado toast breakfast is packed with protein, fiber and healthy fats – perfect for busy mornings or an easy lunch.
Of course, I had to create a smoothie (I decided to whip up this Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal Smoothie) and you already know about those creamy and delicious Overnight Oats with Fresh Fruit and Honey but what could I share for those with a savory tooth without the ability to cook an egg or fry a slice of bacon?
Avocado toast to the rescue! No lie: I probably eat avocado toast once or twice a week. I love spreading it on toast with a sprinkle of sea salt and cilantro sprigs or in a simple avocado egg sandwich.
To make this a fast and easy recipe, I decided to incorporate cottage cheese which wouldn’t require turning on the stove or oven. Cottage cheese not only adds great flavor and texture but it turns a snack into a complete meal by adding protein, calcium and 7 other vitamins and nutrients.
The bottom line? These toasts will leave you satisfied and won’t have you searching your purse for a Twix bar an hour later.
….What?….
No fork required.

March 29, 2014 at 11:15 pmI can always count on any of your Pinterest post to be totally fantastic. And this one surely is. We get real tired of the so called “normal” breakfast items. I also have used spreadable cheese with chives when cottage cheese is not in the fridge. Love your blog!!

December 20, 2013 at 9:33 pmI needed a easy thing to make and eat for our stay at a cabin and I did not think cottage cheese and bread/toast would be good but this is outstanding!!! I love it. I will have to wait till summer for fresh tomatoes, but the avocado and cottage cheese was good enough. I also only like Michigan brand cottage cheese. I can’t stop eating it now! Thanks so much!!

October 13, 2013 at 4:27 pmI decided to make this for my sister and niece and it was a huge hit! It is now our need lunch fast meal. I use fat free cottage cheese and put cucumber slices out in case someone wants a change from the avocado.

August 23, 2013 at 5:36 pmI pretty much have to go with no-cook breakfasts or I tend to go without altogether. I don’t give myself any time in the morning for cooking breakfast. I love the sound of this – healthy and filling but so flavorful!
Liz DellaCroce
August 24, 2013 at 1:44 pmIt’s funny, aside from a fried egg I really have been all about no cook breakfasts myself!!

August 22, 2013 at 9:43 pmWhy have I never thought of the idea to pair avocado with toast? So simple! And I love your idea to add in the cottage cheese and tomatoes. I’ve got tomatoes from my in-laws garden that I’m just itching to use. This is perfect. :)
Liz DellaCroce
August 23, 2013 at 1:19 pmOh yes girl avocado and toast has endless opportunities!!! Enjoy your tomatoes – I am loving tomato season this year!!
