Avocado Toast with Whole Wheat Bread

Some mornings call for something you can put together before the coffee finishes brewing, and this is one of those. Two slices of whole wheat toast, a ripe avocado mashed with a fork, a little salt and pepper — that's really all it takes.

Avocado is naturally low in acid and brings healthy fat without the greasy heaviness of butter or fried toppings, which is part of why it's often reached for on days when acid reflux is flaring up. Whole wheat bread adds fiber and a mild base that doesn't compete with a sensitive stomach. If citrus tends to be a trigger for you, simply leave out the lemon juice — the toast holds up fine without it.
