Avocado Toast with Mushrooms

This avocado toast with mushrooms is packed with flavor and nutrients. I used a gluten-free, vegan bread as the base. Due to the ingredients of the bread, you will be adding extra fiber, protein and omega-3 fatty acids to your morning toast. Avocados are a great healthy alternative to foods that contain saturated fats and are nutrient dense, so even a small portion of this delicious fruit will go a long way. Eating healthy fats helps to increase satiety hormones that will keep you fuller for longer. The healthy fats found in avocado can help lower cholesterol and improve blood lipids.
