Avocado toast is not only a trendy and aesthetic breakfast; it's a nutritional powerhouse. Avocado is full of healthy fat and the bread, especially if you use whole-grain, provides a great source of carbs. Some people could eat avocado toast every day! However, even the most dedicated avocado toast lover may tire of the basic brunch fave. The good news is that avocado toast can be even better with a few additions. There are so many incredible avocado toast recipes that will take your avocado love to the next level.

Here are 10 recipes that will upgrade your avocado toast. These recipes will guac your world (sorry).

1. Strawberry Basil Avocado Toast – Love and Lemons

Strawberries on avocado toast? It sounds like an odd combination, but it works so well in this recipe. The basil adds flavor to the mild avocado and the balsamic drizzle highlights the sweetness of the strawberries. You can sprinkle hemp hearts as a final touch for an extra boost of protein.

Move over BLT! There's a new star in the brunch scene. This TLAT (Tempeh, Lettuce, Avocado and Tomato) Toast is a plant-based alternative to the classic breakfast sandwich.

You can make your own or buy premade tempeh bacon. Along with the arugula, tomatoes and cashew mayonnaise, this will replace your BLT craving with a lighter and more nutrient-dense option.
