Weekend Breakfasts

You deal with rushed weekday mornings, so why not treat yourself on the weekend by cooking up a delicious weekend breakfast? Add an avo for a creamy and luxurious flavour that feels decadent, but helps you maintain a healthy weight and get ready for the swimsuit season.

This weekend be tempted by one of our breakfast recipe ideas below. You can also add an avo to those favourite bacon and eggs, or mix in with an omelette as a healthy addition.

Love toast but bored of having it everyday? Try spreading avo, adding sliced tomato and topping with a pinch of salt and pepper on your toast for a great flavour hit. Then there's always the famous avo and vegemite trick if you’re looking to get out the door and make the most of your weekend.

If you like these ideas, try our recipes for healthy and interesting Packed Lunches throughout the week.
