BEST Paleo Avocado “Toast” Ever

OMG…this has got to be the best food invention I’ve come up with. Ever. I’m sure I’m not the first one who has tried this, but it is way too good not to share. Especially if you live a paleo lifestyle, or want to consume less refined carbohydrates in your diet. 

Every morning for the past 6 months or so, I have had slices of avocado toast for breakfast using vegan rice bread. Now, I knew that rice bread was not the best food to be consuming, but it is the lesser of two evils (AKA wheat and gluten). If you read my post earlier this week about how I am getting back into a routine of eating even better and upping my fitness game, this right here is an example of one small step I am taking to improve my lifestyle and diet. 

There are not a whole lot of breakfast food options available for someone who is mostly vegan and tries to avoid refined carbs. On top of this, I am avoiding soy (AKA tofu) more as it is an inflammatory food…so that means no more scrambled tofu on a regular basis. 

I love the crunch that avocado toast offers on rice bread. I thought long and hard about something, anything to replace that amazingness, and I gave a sweet potato a shot. And holy shit is it perfection!! Yes, it is different, but in no way less delicious. There is still a crunch, and it is actually more flavorful. 

The Ingredients:

+ 2 pieces of sweet potato, sliced long-ways about 1/4 of an inch thick

+ 1 avocado

+ 1 tsp garlic infused olive oil

+ 1 tsp coconut oil

+ a pinch of sea salt

+ a pinch of black pepper

+ a pinch of chili flakes

How to:

+ Bake your sweet potato slices with coconut oil on top at 450 degrees for 40 minutes or until the edges are so crispy that they’re almost burnt.

+ Slice your avocado and place on top of sweet potatoes

+ drizzle garlic infused olive oil on top

+ add salt, pepper, and chili flakes

This will be my new breakfast and snack. LOVE that it is totally guilt free, packed with good fats, and complex carbs. 

Let me know if you give this recipe a try!

xoxo, Lynn

if you can’t go more than a day without washing if you can’t go more than a day without washing your hair (like me), let me introduce you to this 2-in-1 shampoo/conditioner combo that is truly so nourishing 🪄🧴 
@hairstorystudio NEW WASH was developed because most shampoos weaken the hair and strip out vital oils since most rely on detergent. New Wash is a cleanser but doesn’t contain any detergent & has a proprietary blend of essential oils & saturated cleansers. 
My hair is never greasy after using it and my dry AF scalp loves it! I’ve been using it for a couple of months now and I’m truly impressed by how nourishing it is for both my hair + scalp. ✨

I love trying new products and these are some ✨new✨faves of mine I have to share with you:

@saintjanebeauty lip oil: love a high-shine gloss and this is ITTT. It’s actually called a lip oil which did scare me before trying it, but really just feels like a gloss. It’s not greasy at all. the sparkly pink is my fave 💖 

@herbivorebotanicals moon fruit: calling all pregnant/breastfeeding mamas! this product is a retinol-alternative serum that's clinically-proven to treat signs of aging with 1% bakuchiol + plant peptides. I started using it a few months ago and really love it. I do miss retinol (still breastfeeding) but this is a gentler option. 

Burdock oil: I had no idea about this oil until I researched ingredients for the best scalp treatment and this is one of the ingredients I use in my DIY scalp treatment. However I’ve also been using it on my face to double cleanse because it is anti-inflammatory and antibacterial. 

@lysbeautyofficial blush: this is the color humble and it’s the prettiest orangey pink which is fab for summer. I’m a cream blush convert because it’s so much more natural looking than powders. & this one is matte, so it won’t look greasy ✨
Your most beautiful life is meant to bring out you Your most beautiful life is meant to bring out your core values. 
I’ve always had a vision for my most beautiful life. But with anything, it needed some refinement (as with everything in life).
Since I have become deeply entrenched in coaching, I have been able to identify my core (vs acquired) values to be able to design my day/life. 🌸 
Some questions to ask yourself to do the same:

I’m your dream day, what are you wearing? 
What values are you living by?
What does your environment look and feel like?
Where do you live?
What activities bring you energy?
A gooddddd mint chip smoothie had been on my mind A gooddddd mint chip smoothie had been on my mind lately and I’d never actually had one, mainly because they’re usually made with banana….and I cannot stand bananas. SO. Knowing that mango can easily replace bananas when it comes to cooking, I picked up a bag of frozen mangos and went to town on crafting my own recipe. 

It legit tastes like mint chocolate chip ice cream 🍦

recipe:
🧊 ice
🥭 frozen mango
🥥 coconut cream
🥬 spinach 
🍁 maple syrup
🍬 peppermint extract 
🥜 almond butter
🥣 oats
🍫 Chocolate chips (I also add these in to the smoothie in addition to on top)
