Maybe green eggs and ham are Dr. Seuss' favorite, but if green eggs don't seem to get you going in the morning..you can get your green on by skipping the green eggs and try an egg on some smooth and creamy avocado and toast. 

Although breakfast is my favorite meal of the day, it always seems to be the meal that leaves me a little short on choices. I really never thought avocado with eggs sounded like a big deal, but it's one of my sister's favorites. So she inspired me to give it a try, and now, this little taste of green has me dreaming about breakfast.

So far, I've tried this little pillow of "dreamy goodness" on egg and toast as well as half of an English muffin. I've tried it with boiled eggs and fried eggs. I can't wait to try it on 1/4 of an everything bagel or with a poached egg, or even a scrambled egg. And what about with a little bacon, Canadian bacon or even with a few crumbles of turkey sausage or even a little cheese. Or maybe you could skip the toast, and try it as a salsa, diced with tomatoes over an egg. Who would have thought that this little bit of rich, and buttery tropical pear-shaped fruit would have me falling in love with breakfast all over again.

Avocado has replaced the need for butter or mayonnaise on my toast. It's A plant-based, healthy and satisfying fat that's good for you. Too much fat you say, think again! *One ounce is only 4 grams of fat, that's 1 Weight Watcher point. Less points than a tablespoon of mayo or a teaspoon of butter. And way more satisfying that jelly or jam. *see note below.

Notice how quickly avocado turns brown after a few hours of slicing? No matter how much lime juice I squeeze on it, I usually end up having to toss it. But the remedy is to freeze it. I make ahead several avocados with a little lime juice and salt. Measure it out, flatten it, and freeze it between a small sheets of parchment paper, in one ounce portions. You can even freeze it in slices. If you don't have a food scale, you need one - it a must have for any bariatric kitchen!

A few minutes out of the freezer while I cook the eggs, or slice a pre-boiled egg from the fridge, and toast the bread—and it's ready for breakfast when I am. Fast, simple and delicious. Eat your heart out, Dr. Seuss! 

Yes, you can. I just did. You have many more miles to go!  

*Remember that a whole egg and 1 ounce of avocado (as well as a slice of bread) have around 9 to 10 fat grams,( around 5 is a good guideline) so you will want to adjust your portion size accordingly.
