During summer, I like to have meals that are a little lighter than what I opt for in the colder months. That means more raw foods than cooked and typically dishes that are refreshing and highlight seasonal flavors. However, I still need just as many macro- and micronutrients-- if not more--to sustain my activity level and keep me feeling my best.
This recipe for Superfood Toast fulfills that need--it's nourishing and hearty with a balanced combination of whole grains, healthy fats, and immunity-boosting superfoods. The toast I used is sprouted for optimal digestion. Avocado will keep your skin supple and hair shiny. It's also great for joint health as you go about summer sports like swimming or cycling. The cabbage-apple slaw contains probiotics that are great for gut health, and the bee pollen (totally optional for bee-free vegans) contains protein and reduces allergies. Seaweed gets a lot of hype for its umami flavor, but it also contains many vitamins and minerals. And turmeric is anti-inflammatory in addition to also having high a high mineral content.
All in all, this simple yet delicious Superfood Toast is a great option for a light meal or hearty snack. It takes less than 10 minutes to make, so don't shy away from trying it next time you're looking for a spin on your classic avo toast.
