Russian Avocado Toast (1 Piece)

Use a smaller slice of dense pumpernickel or 100% rye sourdough instead of white bread or brioche.

Keep the avocado, but add protein such as a boiled or poached egg, smoked salmon, cottage cheese, or plain Greek yogurt.

Add fiber-rich toppings such as cucumber, tomato, radish, arugula, or leafy greens; avoid sweet sauces and jam.

Limit high-sugar Russian-style additions such as sweetened cream cheese, honey, ketchup, or sweet pickled vegetables.

Eat the toast as part of a meal with a salad or non-starchy vegetables rather than by itself.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating, if appropriate for you.
