Avocado Toast with Smoky Black Beans, Spinach, and Eggs

As if what the world really needs is another recipe for avocado toast, am I right?

Buuuuttttt HERE I AM.

I also have like five cases of La Croix sitting in my pantry, so I’m pretty much the definition of a basic bitch.

It’s okay. I can take it.

Speaking of which, did you guys know that La Croix is just SELTZER?!?!?

I was obviously living in a clueless black hole because I was super convinced based on its cult following and all the flavors that it comes in that it was some new sweet zero calorie soda made with some weird natural sweetener and I was like, hey I want to try coconut soda. So I Amazon Prime Now-ed enough of it to my apartment so that I could actually place the order (so, over $25 worth) only to taste it and realize that it is flavored sparkling water.

Aka seltzer.

Am I missing something? I must be missing something.

Right?

I mean, seltzer has been around forever….so why all the hype?! PLEASE SOMEONE EDUCATE ME.

To be perfectly honest, it’s taken me a long time to come around to avocado toast as well. I don’t even know why I resisted for so long!!!!! I just have this thing with fads…I try to ignore them for as long as possible or until it becomes apparent that they’re actually good enough to warrant all the attention.

But, you guys.

Avocado toast. It’s the real deal.

I’m perfectly content to eat it plain Jane with a touch of sea salt, but it’s even better when it’s topped with a smoky black bean-spinach medley and fluffy scrambled eggs. Hearty enough to eat for any and every meal. As we so very often do.

    I think it’s the flavors of lacroix that separate it. I’m not a fan of the coconut. But i love the mango and the pomegranate

  2. I think that La Croix tastes less chemically than some other flavored seltzers I’ve tried. Plus the flavors are great. Coconut = bae. Some people will say that it tastes like sunscreen, but those people are wrong.

    I definitely need a new avo toast recipe. I have an avo toast for breakfast at least 3 times a week and I am so plain jane. I need to at least top it with an egg but I love the idea of black beans and scrambled egg. I will be set until a late lunch!!
