This Delicious Low Carb Avocado Toast is the perfect quick meal and more recipes like it can be found in the new Atkins book, "Atkins: Eat Right, Not Less". Thank you to Atkins Nutritionals for sponsoring today's post.
Crisp Toast in the morning with creamy avocado mashed on top and a sprinkle of coarse sea salt is how I like to start my day. If I have more time in the morning I'd add a few pieces of bacon and possibly an egg with it as well! But having a prepared toast that I've made ahead, ready to pull out of the fridge on a busy morning for a quick breakfast, makes living a low carb life style a whole lot less stressful!
Recently I was asked by Atkins Nutritionals to review their new book, "Atkins: Eat Right Not Less" and I have to say, I absolutely love it! I've been an Atkins follower for years and have known about it since my childhood because my mom was and still is an avid follower of the Atkins way of life.
This new book is a wonderful wealth of information for those who might just be starting out on a low carb lifestyle change. But even if you're experienced and have been low carb for years, you'll also enjoy the quality of recipes this book provides. The recipe I'm sharing today is a win, both with me and my teens.
I'm thrilled to say that there are now 3 different low carb option plans! Atkins 20, the original plan, Atkins 40 and Atkins 100. If you're new to a low carb life style, the original plan might be too challenging for you being just about 20 net carbs a day, but the other 2 plans include a bit more carbs which might- fit your lifestyle better, depending on your goals. A low carb and keto lifestyle isn't -a-one-size-fits-all- and that's why I'm totally recommending this book!
I hope you enjoy this delicious toast recipe and you're encouraged in this New Year to pursue a low carb, sugar free life style! You can learn more about Atkins' new book, at www.atkinseatrightnotless.com.
Brenda's Notes:
- I always like to play with seasonings, and I tried a version with some of my favorites, including ½ teaspoon dried Italian seasonings and ½ teaspoon garlic powder and onion powder.
- If you don't have liquid stevia I think you could just eliminate it or use 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar free sweetener, such as Swerve, to balance out the flavors.

Can you make it without the Parmesan cheese? Need dairy free.
Tash
How long does this keep for?
Brenda
About 4-5 days wrapped well.
Charlotte
Can you use coconut flour?
Brenda
Sorry coconut and almond flour can not be easy swapped without having to change other ingredients to accommodate for the absorbency of coconut flour. I will work on a coconut flour toast recipe soon.
Charlotte
Okay thanks
Kelly
Hi , Question about the parm cheese. Is it shredded fresh or the stuff in a can? Thanks in advance.:)
Brenda
Yes fresh parm, shredded.
Kim
Wonderful “bread” I kept it plain so I could try it out and then customize it. LOVE IT! Can’t wait for the avocado on it ?
Linda
Hi,
Do you have the macros for just the toast?
Thanks,
Linda
Brenda
I don't sorry.
Julie
This sounds so great but I’m dairy intolerant. So any thoughts on making this dairy free? That’s a lot of parmesan so not sure a substitute would work.
Brenda
I am thinking maybe nutritional yeast could replace the parmesan but I've not tried it, but if you do please come back and let me know how it works for you.
Joyce
Could this be used for a pizza crust? I like pizza for breakfast.
Brenda
don't see why I couldn't be a pizza
Elizabeth Stevens
Just made this for breakfast today. It's really good! And easy ?

Does it store well and stay crisp? Wrap it in foil or airtight bag?
Brenda
Yep. I wrapped mine in aluminum foil and left it on the counter, it was perfect the next day.
Maggie
I would love to try this recipe but I don't like Stevia. Is there a way to make this recipe using an erythritol sweetener like Swerve?
Brenda
Oh sure that would be fine. Just use maybe 1/3 cup.
Maggie
Great. Thank you so much for getting back to me so quickly. I will definitely be trying this.
Chris
Will be making my second batch of this today - it is amazing! This has been my breakfast nearly every day this week.
Brenda
So glad you love it!
Denise
Wondering how this could be called low carb? Total Carbohydrates 13.1g
Isn't that as many carbs that are in regular breads?
Brenda
That includes total carbs from adding the avocado to the toast. The fiber amount of 8.1 grams is subtracted, the serving for net carbs is 4.9grams.
