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

a few ways that getting dressed/fashion is spiritu a few ways that getting dressed/fashion is spiritual:

1. experimenting with what you wear can help you see yourself in a different way & provokes inspiration.
2. Getting dressed in the morning is a way to have fun by expressing your beautiful soul for everyone to see. 
3. when you feel confident in what you’re wearing, you FEEL good.

my style evolution: I used to wear a lot of black & shunned expressing my femininity with the clothes that I wore because I was following trends. NO MORE. now: give me all the feminine LEWKS and colors 🌈

During the first few months of my Z’s life, my body & soul felt burnt out. looking back, it was hard (and still is!) to prioritize just taking a few deep breaths each day. totally not trying to sound dramatic like so many Oprah IG captions 🤣 but it’s the truth.

during a meditation session recently, my intuition called out and invited me to reconnect with my feminine side. I realized I had abandoned much of this ‘side’. this is where the journey of activating my divine feminine energy began for me.  I’ll be sharing bits of my re-discovery here in hopes it will help you overcome the same and step in to your wholeness. 🤍

by wholeness, I mean not DOING IT ALL. being intentional & redefining the feminine experience. 

some of the words I have reclaimed include…

emotional, ease, wild, & healing 

do you have words to describe your feminine energy?

reflecting back on the past year has put into perspective how critical taking the leap and moving to a new place has been for my personal growth and development, and if you’re thinking about moving, this is your sign to do it!

the change of environment has been SO beyond magical for many reasons…it’s taken me out of my comfort zone, given so many new and exciting experiences, and expanded social connections.

Even with other clean products, my scalp was not happy and it’s such a relief to find a product that WORKS that isn’t medicated or full of crap ingredients. so excited to share with y’all as I have always shared my scalp/hair journey and finally feel like my scalp is THRIVING 💖
