Pregnancy is a wild ride, isn't it? One minute you're craving pickles and ice cream, the next you're hit with gestational diabetes and suddenly need to watch every single carb. I remember when I got diagnosed, it felt like someone had swapped my favorite playlist with elevator music. No more sugary cereals, no more impulsive donut runs (so sad, I know!). Everything felt so… restrictive. But what I’ve learned, and what I want to share with you today, is that eating well with gestational diabetes doesn’t have to feel like a punishment. It can be delicious, satisfying, and even… dare I say… enjoyable!
That’s why I’m so excited to share this avocado toast recipe. It’s a simple, quick, and nutritious breakfast (or snack!) that I found myself making over and over during my own gestational diabetes journey. It uses whole grain bread to minimize blood sugar spikes, creamy avocado for healthy fats (which are crucial!), and a perfectly cooked egg for that protein punch that keeps you full and energized. Plus, it's totally customizable, which means you can tweak it to fit your own taste buds. Think of it as a blank canvas for your morning culinary creativity. What spices would you add?

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- First, lightly toast a slice of whole grain bread. Keep a close watch, some whole grain breads burn faster!
- While the bread is toasting, prepare your avocado. Slice or mash about 1/4 of an avocado. Don't overdo it on the avocado-- portion control is key!
- If you're adding an egg (highly recommended for extra protein!), cook it to your liking. A fried or poached egg works really well. I usually go for poached because I just love the runny yolk mixing with the avocado. Just be careful not to overcook the egg; nobody wants a rubbery egg!
- Once the toast is ready, spread the avocado evenly over it.
- Top with your cooked egg.
- Season with a pinch of salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if you like a little heat!). I love adding a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning too; it brings so much flavor!
- Serve immediately and enjoy! This toast is best enjoyed fresh so the bread doesnt get soggy.
📝 Notes
- Adjust seasonings to your liking.
- For a vegan option, skip the egg and add a sprinkle of nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor.
