FAQ

Can I make High-Protein Avocado Toast ahead of time?
You can mash the bean and avocado mixture shortly before serving, but it is best fresh because avocado can darken and toast can lose its crispness.

What kind of beans work best for avocado toast?
White beans such as cannellini beans or great northern beans work very well because they are mild, creamy, and easy to mash.

How do I keep the avocado mixture from browning?
Add enough lemon juice, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface, and store it in an airtight container in the fridge.

Is this avocado toast actually high in protein?
Compared with classic avocado toast, this version has more protein because the white beans add an extra boost while keeping the mixture creamy.

Can I use gluten-free bread?
Yes. Any sturdy toasted bread works well, including gluten-free bread.

What toppings go well with this recipe?
Cherry tomatoes, everything bagel seasoning, chili flakes, cucumber slices, sprouts, or seeds all pair nicely.

Storage

Store any leftover bean and avocado mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day for best freshness. The extra rinsed beans can be refrigerated separately in an airtight container and eaten within 4 days. Toast is best assembled fresh. Re-toast the bread before serving and spread the mixture on top just before eating.
