Avocado Chickpea Toast is an easy vegan breakfast or lunch for days when you don't have the energy to cook
When you travel, do you pack exactly what you need and only that or do you bring one million different options of things to wear? I fall in the second category...
I spent this weekend in San Francisco for a bachelorette party which was so fun.
I have an over packing problem... plus, I went shopping so I had extra things in my bag on the way home. We're talking: me having to sit on the suitcase to get it zipped.
One of the shirts in my bag is covered in beads/sequins, and the TSA people needed to open my bag. So the guy said "hey, we're gonna open your bag." My response: "Careful. It's gonna explode there's so much stuff in there!"
Cue me slapping my hand over my mouth then awkwardly trying to pretend like I didn't just say "explode" in the security line at the airport.
Luckily, the guy had a sense of humor and/or didn't hear what I said.
Even more luckily was that he was able to shut my bag after checking it. I honestly still can't believe it fit into the overhead bin on the plane.
Anywho, I feel a little tired today. And I'm so ready to get back into normal life. After moving all last week then traveling for 5 days, I feel a little scattered.
Making sure I get extra veggies & lots of plant-based nutrients always help me feel better after traveling and/or when life is crazy.
Since my brain power is slim to none, I have this easy & simple Avocado Chickpea Toast. Basically, I mashed up some chickpeas & avocado and put it on toast. Success.
This is a simple, filling, and tasty lunch or breakfast. I eat a little salad on the side and call it a day meal. I love that it only requires a few ingredients. You can also adjust the seasoning to your preference.
If you're not a cilantro fan, you can leave it out. Add more cayenne pepper for a spicier topping or use lime juice instead of lemon.

Avocado toast was the best invention of the 21st century. Know what's even better? Avocado chickpea toast. I could eat this 5 times a day. With sprouts on top.

I love avocado and I love chickpeas and I certainly love cilantro. Yummy! I just pinched your recipe for my breakfast. But I had it with falafel instead of toast. Just great. Thank you.

Gosh when I travel I always seem to overpack too! When we were out in Swiss land I swear we only needed one suitcase but brought 4!!! Good thing this toast makes up for the simplicity I'm missing in other areas of my life.

Girl I get in so much trouble when I travel. I typically pack 4 days worth of clothes for each day I will be gone. Also chickpea avocado toast for the WIN! This stuff is the best!
