Nourishing avocado breakfast ideas to kick-start your day
Avocado and breakfast are a match made in heaven! Try some of these delicious avo breakfast recipes packed with nutrients and healthy fats.
Benefits of starting your day with avocado
Avocados are nutrient-dense, rich in healthy monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, and naturally low in sugar and sodium. Just half an avocado offers about 5 grams of fibre—17% of your daily needs—along with valuable folate, vitamin K, and vitamin E. The healthy fats in avocados help keep you feeling full and satisfied throughout the morning.
While avocados are great in salads, dips, and canapés, don’t hesitate to get creative: spread mashed avocado on wholegrain toast for a classic avocado toast, and top it with a sprinkle of salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Or, blend avocado into a green smoothie with spinach, a banana, and a splash of almond milk for a creamy, nutritious drink. Both options make the most of avocado’s healthy fats, helping you stay full and energised.

How to slice and dice an avocado
1. Using a sharp knife, cut the avocado in half lengthways by cutting around the stone.
2. Place the half with the stone in one hand and scoop out the stone with a spoon.
3. Either peel off the skin or scoop out the flesh in one piece with a spoon.
4. Cut the flesh into cubes or slices or mash with a fork. Discard skin and stone.
