    Chickpea Avocado Toast

    Aug 22, 2019 • Luteal Phase, Quick & Easy

    Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe
    Chickpea Avocado Toast. Easy vegan lunch idea. Can be made gluten free. #vegan #lunch #idea

    What started as a random lunch turned into a must-have recipe here on the blog! It’s just too simple and beautiful not to share.

    What I love about this plant based toast is the simplicity but also how deliciously filling and detoxifying it is, at the same time. I’m always looking to detox my estrogen as I’m very sensitive to estrogen dominance. I have to take all precautions to keep it under control (as least now, while I’m parasite cleansing). I’ve found the parasite detox can often exacerbate certain PMS symptoms due to the release of heavy metals and toxins from parasite die-off. So, I’m taking all necessary measures to keep my cycle on track and keep it healthy!

    And all of that starts with proper whole food nutrition!

    This Chickpea Avocado Toast is pretty self-explanatory but sometimes it’s nice to have new easy lunch ideas, you know? I know I can get stuck in a rut so I love having an option like this that covers all the bases. Protein, fiber, fat and carb, all for satiety, along with micronutrients to help detox and keep our systems functioning optimally.

    The chickpeas offer protein and fiber, the avocado offers healthy fat and the real sourdough bread offers the carb. Of course you can use whatever bread you want, you could even use rice cakes (that would be more of a snack) but I love sourdough because of it’s fermentation process that makes it easier to digest. It is local and made the old school way, not with a sourdough starter – this is important! After spreading the avocado on the toast and sprinkling with chickpeas, I added some broccoli microgreens for estrogen detox. Broccoli sprouts are even better for this!

    Next come the sunflower seeds to support progesterone production (could also use sesame seeds). This toast is meant for the luteal phase. If you want to make it in the menstrual or follicular phase, switch the seeds to pumpkin seeds to support estrogen! After that I add some red pepper flakes and fresh lemon juice and voil?! The most delicious, satisfying toast that checks all the boxes and will keep you happy four hours.

    I hope this gives you some healthy lunch inspiration!

      Yum this looks delicious! Quick question I thought you were gluten free? Is sourdough bread gluten free? I also don’t eat gluten and have a hard time finding a bread that I like, that’s gluten free and also healthy! Tips?

        I am gluten free except for this bread! It is made the old fashioned way, not with a yeast starter, so something about the fermentation process for the sourdough makes it so it doesn’t bother me! It is the one exception 🙂 I think there is gluten free option though. I recommend looking at the ingredients and choosing a bread without starter so you know it is made the real way!

    WHY I’M SO GLAD I SAID YES 🦄 • I get to so WHY I’M SO GLAD I SAID YES 🦄

• I get to solve hair problems for people help them have more confidence
• I get to make an income from wifi
• I’m apart of an inclusive community of driven women that have turned into real friends whom I hope to meet one day!

Before I started my business, I wasn’t sure what direction my life was headed. I was lost for an entire year prior, completely engulfed in motherhood which was fine because I wanted motherhood to take over. I wanted to lose myself in my baby and felt lucky to be able to do that. But then at one point, I wanted to get back to “me” too. I wanted to feel like myself again. I wanted MORE. 

If you’re looking for more income, more community, more flexibility, more confidence, more friendships, more guidance, more support, more financial freedom, more passion in your life… this business can be the vehicle. 

I joined the BEST community of women who have encouraged me every step of the way and led me down the right path. It’s not intimidating at all because everyone wants you to succeed.

    FOR MY OILY GIRLS 🦄 These 3 tips have really FOR MY OILY GIRLS 🦄 

These 3 tips have really helped me combat the annoying oil to the point where now, I only have to wash twice a week. I’m sure you guys already know that washing LESS helps the scalp to stop overproducing so much oil. So washing less is the goal ⚡️ and I can help you get to this point because I know it’s scary/hard to do. But we also have to remember that oil after a couple days is completely normal, so there is a balance here.

Obviously these tips along with the right shampoo and conditioner for YOU is KEY. If you’d like a free custom consult you can DM me HAIR or take my Hair Quiz linked in my bio 🩷🙂🦄⚡️💅🏻👑🔥💛

    Have you checked the ingredients in your skin & ha Have you checked the ingredients in your skin & hair products lately? Your dry shampoo? 

The USA bans only 50 ingredients from cosmetics, 500 in Canada and 1300 in Europe! 😱😱 Did you know my products go be European standards? 

With the chemicals and environmental pollutants etc that we are exposed to daily that we can’t control, we can choose wisely the products we use and slather on our bodies/heads. Your skin absorbs EVERYTHING you put on it, your skin is your largest organ.

I’m sure you heard about the recall of millions of dry shampoos for containing BENZENE which is a cancer-causing ingredient that you are inhaling and spraying on your scalp multiple times per week. Many of them are STILL on the shelves! 😡 I have a better option for you that does not contain talc (an oil absorber also connected to cancer), propane or butane either, which are all connected to allergies and eye, lung and skin irritations.

Let’s do better for our hormones, skin, hair, health, kids health and environmental health. Let’s get you started on better products that you can trust.
