Smashed Avocado Toast with Egg

Always a favourite at Clean Beauty Collective, and just so damn good for you! The secret to making the best avocado toast out there? Smash the avocado with lemon juice, salt, and pepper for a flavour kick right when you need it. Want to power up the protein factor?

And if you have a little extra time, add some fresh radishes, chives and sesame seeds on top for something a little extra.
