Savory Avocado Toast
For savory avocado toast, dollop some chutney or pesto on top, followed by a few shakes of curry powder and a pinch of pink Himalayan salt.
For Kapha types, consider adding garlic, pepper, and a few tomatoes to balance Kapha. Pitta and Vata types won’t need to add garlic or tomatoes, as the digestive fire is already intense.
Sweet Avocado Toast
For sweet avocado toast, dollop some organic jam on top, followed by a drizzle of tahini for extra creaminess.
