    Pop some bread in the toaster and spread, sprinkle, or toss on your favorite plant-based toppings. Enjoy savory Avocado Toast topped with ribbons of cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, and fresh dill or a sweet Tropical Toast topped with bananas, toasted coconut, chocolate, almonds, papaya, and mango for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or a snack.

    Do you find it challenging to get your family to try nutritious plant-based meals? Around our house, where I'm baking sweet treats several days a week, we have to find a balance by eating healthy meals and snacks.

    I love munching on raw veggies and fruits, but my husband doesn't agree that a bowl of carrots and cucumbers with a dollop of hummus constitutes a meal.

    The creativity I use to make all my fun food crafts comes in handy when making nutritious food that is as visually appealing as it is tasty.

    Recently I have become enthralled with all the gorgeous toast pictures on Pinterest. Have you seen them? People are topping toast with all sorts of vegetables and fruits, so I thought I'd give it a try too.

    Pure Blends Avocado Oil and Coconut Oil spreads make great avocado toast and tropical toast.

    If you haven't given toast much thought before, now is the time to have some fun topping your toast.

    I had so much fun experimenting with different plant-based toast toppings. Some friends stopped over that day and we all enjoyed sampling the different toasts, some savory and some sweet. Here are two of our favorites.

    How to make avocado toast topped with smashed avocados, ribbons of cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, and Pure Blends Avocado Oil Butter Spread.

    How to make Vegan Avocado Toast 

    • Start with your favorite vegan bread and toast it in the toaster or toaster oven.
    • Spread on some Avocado Oil Plant-Based Butter.
    • Cut an avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh into a bowl.
    • Sprinkle on a bit of fresh lemon juice.
      • The lemon juice not only imparts a lovely flavor it also helps to keep your avocado from turning brown.
    • Smash the avocado in the bowl and season with a bit of salt.
    • Spread the avocado over your toast.
      • One avocado smashed is enough to cover two large slices of toast or four smaller pieces of toast.
    • Use a vegetable peeler to cut ribbons of cucumber or simply cut the cucumber into slices.
      • Be sure to wash and scrub your cucumber if leaving the peel on it.
    • Drape a few cucumber ribbons over top of the toast.
    • Cut cherry tomatoes into quarters and sprinkle over top.
    • Sprinkle on some fresh dill.

    Optional Vegan Toppings for Avocado Toast:

    • A drizzle of vegan balsamic vinegar tastes great over the top of this avocado toast (if using, skip the dill).
    • A sprinkling of vegan feta cheese would taste great too.

    Tropical Toast topped with Pure Blends Coconut Oil Spread, bananas, toasted coconut, chocolate shavings, almonds, mango, and papaya flowers.

    How to make Vegan Tropical Toast

    • Toast your favorite sliced bread then spread on some Coconut Oil Plant-Based Butter.
    • Smash a banana and spread about half of it over the toast.
    • Sprinkle on some toasted coconut, shaved semi-sweet chocolate, and a few sliced almonds.
      • If you are making this a vegan meal, be sure to choose a chocolate that does not contain any milk.
      • You can find vegan-friendly chocolate bars in the candy aisle at Walmart.
    • Top with some papaya and mango.
      • I just love the pretty mango and papaya flowers on this tropical toast, but you can certainly just add slices if you prefer.
      • To make the flowers, cut slices of the fruit then use a small flower-shaped cookie cutter to cut out the shapes or cut out using a knife.

    Enjoy savory Avocado Toast topped with Pure Blends™ Avocado Oil Buttery Spread, ribbons of cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, and fresh dill or a sweet Tropical Toast topped with Pure Blends™ Coconut Oil Plant-Based Butter, bananas, toasted coconut, chocolate, almonds, papaya, and mango for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or a snack.
