Please bear with me on this post. Avocado in the morning is not everyone’s cup of tea. Nor a salad either. But here are 12 breakfast ideas that might pique your interest to try one, or two or twelve. My first choice is going to be Mexican Scrambled Eggs. Need not be just for breakfast either. Brunch anyone ?

Perfect Fruit And Veggie Smoothie
Breakfast tacos are hard evidence that these packed tortillas are ALWAYS a great idea—morning, afternoon, or night. But if you’re vegan, most breakfast tacos (which often contain eggs) are off the table. Until now! Try out this plant-based version, which features scrambled tofu.

Loaded Veggie Avocado Quinoa Frittatas
These mini frittatas are packed with healthy ingredients, like quinoa, eggs, spinach, red peppers, and, of course, avocado. Not to mention, they contain nearly five grams of protein per tiny frittata.
Per serving: 113 cal, 5 g fat, 4.8 g protein, 12.6 g carbs, 2.2 g fiber, 1 g sugar

Savory Corn Waffles With Tomato Herb Salad
Avocado toast, meet avo waffles. These waffles from Woman’s Day are topped with tomatoes, avocado, and fresh herbs (and a ranch-like dressing)—perfect if you hate super-sweet breakfasts.
Per serving: 305 cal, 15.5 g fat (6.5 g sat fat), 8 g protein, 450 mg sodium, 36 g carbs, 4 g fiber
Breakfast Chilaquiles
Great! Dear Dennis 😊
I love avocados and eat them practically every day, plus I also have some in my smoothies first thing in the morning. They are delightful!!
Love smashed avocado on toast for breakfast.
My fav really. But becoming more expensive. These new ideas are a plus!❤
