1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Ice cubes (optional)

6 large eggs

1/2 cup bell peppers, diced

1/2 cup spinach, chopped

1/4 cup red onion, diced

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Cooking spray or muffin liners

1/4 cup chia seeds

1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)

1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Fresh fruits (such as berries, kiwi, or diced apples) for topping

1 cup coconut yogurt (or yogurt of choice)

1/2 cup granola (preferably low-sugar)

1/2 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)

1 tablespoon shredded coconut

Honey to drizzle (optional)

Instructions
 

Begin by toasting the whole-grain bread until golden brown.

    While the bread is toasting, fill a small pot with water and bring it to a gentle simmer. Add a splash of vinegar if desired (this helps with poaching the eggs).

      Crack each egg into a small bowl, then gently slide them into the simmering water. Poach the eggs for about 3-4 minutes or until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny.

        While the eggs are poaching, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork and mix in the olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste.

          Once the bread is toasted, spread the mashed avocado evenly on both pieces.

            Carefully remove the poached eggs with a slotted spoon and place one on each slice of toast.

              Sprinkle with red pepper flakes and garnish with fresh herbs. Serve immediately.
