avocado toast with mango and banana sunrise drink



Avocado toast has to be one of my favourite breakfasts to start the day with. It's light, healthy and so tasty which is everything I love in a breakfast. Then when you include it with a refreshing drink it couldn't get any better. I could seriously eat it every morning and not get sick of it.

For the avocado toast; 2 tablespoons lime juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil, sea salt, ground pepper, 1 avocado peeled and quartered, 4 slices toasted sourdough bread, coriander (cilantro) leaves.

Place lime juice, olive oil, salt and pepper in a bowl and combine. Serve quarters of avocado on toast, drizzled with dressing and topped with coriander, sea salt and lots of freshly ground pepper. Serves 4.

For the mango and banana sunrise drink; 1 cup orange juice, 1/2 cup chopped mango, 1/2 ripe banana, 2 tablespoons yoghurt.

Place all ingredients in a blender. Blend until smooth. Serves 1-2.

Both recipes from Bill Granger's Sydney Food
