High Protein Smashed Edamame Toast


When you’re leveling up your quick breakfast game, avocado toast is usually at the top of people’s list. It’s fast, easy, and can be tailored to what else you have in your fridge.

However, like all things, avocado toast can get old and you want to switch things up.

While this edamame toast spread still has avocado in it, it’s enough of a difference with the additions that it feels different and that makes all the change that you need for your brain to feel like you’re switching it up!

🥘Recipe Ingredients

Gather your ingredients!

Edamame

Edamame is not only high in protein, but it’s fairly neutral in taste, especially when combining with the other sauce ingredients that we are putting in this spread.

Substitute: You could also use white beans like navy or great northern in place of the edamame.

Avocado

You want to use a ripe avocado for this dish.

Fresh Ingredients

You’ll need fresh limes, ginger, and garlic for this recipe as well. While you could use ground ginger and garlic it doesn’t give the same freshness that you really want for this recipe.

Substitute: Limes could be substituted with lemons.

Other Sauce Ingredients

We’re also using peanut butter, low sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, maple syrup, sriracha, and toasted sesame oil for this.

Substitutes: Any nut butter or sunbutter will work in place of the peanut butter. For the soy sauce you can use tamari, coconut aminos, liquid aminos or a no soy soy sauce.
