It may surprise you to know that breakfast is my least favorite meal of the day. I love a good muffin or pastry, but realistically I can’t eat that every day. So finding a healthy breakfast each morning frustrates me sometimes. I tend to find one thing I like, and then do that every day until I can’t stand it anymore. This blog has forced me to actually branch out and try different things. Now if only I had a blender, I would try more smoothies!
To complicate the breakfast problem, I don’t really like eggs. I can handle scrambled eggs, but that is it! Years ago I went on the Atkins diet for 2 weeks; that was torture. Eggs for breakfast was difficult. I worked out of the house at the time too, so I had my breakfast in the hospital cafeteria. Cafeteria eggs are even worse! Lately though, I can do scrambled eggs with ham. And now, avocado!!
I have mentioned many times before I could live on avocados, and put them with everything. Well here is proof. I put them with eggs. They were amazing! The buttery avocado blends with the creamy eggs, and I really liked it. Topped with a few fresh chives, and it is even better! So not only does it taste amazing, but it is full of healthy fat, and protein to get your day off right.

I love eggs but rarely add anything in with them besides bacon. These look great! And I really want some giant strawberries now.
Nicole @ Healthy Way to Cook says
I’ve been OBSESSED with avocado lately, and this sounds like it’s a delicious way to eat scrambled eggs! I feel like bacon would be a great addition to this.

Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day! During the week it’s normally yogurt and fruit but on the weekend I go all out! I love it and i would love your eggs. They look incredible!!
Pretend Chef says
Avocados are my favorite! This recipe makes me giddy. I usually just grab something quick now that I have an office job but the addition of avocado would make me jump out of bed a little bit earlier to make this.

I never thought to pair avocado and eggs… gives the meaning of green eggs a whole new meaning. 🙂

Great idea for a healthy protein based breakfast, pinned!
Emily @ Life on Food says
You need to get a blender NOW! When we go to the local diner for breakfast I always get the avocado omelette. The avocado definitely makes the eggs go down better.
Suzanne says
Never tried this combo together before but I’m sure it’s a good one.
