RECIPE: Super Protein Avocado Toast

Need a major boost in the morning to keep you running for the entire morning? Have no fear! Avocado toast is all the rage right now and is popping up on brunch menus all over the country because avocados are an amazing super food and an excellent source of protein. However, I like a massive protein boost because quite frankly it keeps you full longer. I like adding smoked salmon to avocado toast for this reason. Also, if you're like me and need an extra little spicy kick, you can add some red pepper flakes. Best of all this is a really simple meal that you can throw together and eat at any time of the day. Bon Appétit!
