Let’s talk about avocado toast.

Yes, it’s everywhere. Yes, it’s a bit of a cliché at this point. And yes… most versions leave you hungry about 20 minutes later.

This one doesn’t.

Welcome to Day 4 of the Plan4One 14-Day Meal Plan, where we take a café classic and make it actually work for real life—more filling, more balanced, and still ready in about 10 minutes.

This is your avocado & bean toast—quick, cheap, and surprisingly satisfying. Perfect for breakfast, lunch, or one of those “I cannot be bothered cooking” dinners.

🥑 Why This Works for One

This is one of those recipes that earns its spot on repeat:

• Done in 10 minutes (no excuses)
• Uses simple, affordable ingredients
• Actually filling thanks to added protein + fibre
• Great way to use leftover avocado

And importantly:
👉 No more wasting half an avocado and forgetting about it.

---

🛒 Ingredients (Single Serve)

• 1 slice wholegrain bread
• ½ ripe avocado
• ¼ cup canned white beans (drained and rinsed)
• 4 cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 1 tbsp feta (optional)
• Chili flakes (optional)
• Salt & pepper to taste

---

🔄 Smart Swaps (Real-Life Friendly)

• No white beans? → Use chickpeas or black beans
• No feta? → Skip it or use a sprinkle of parmesan
• No lemon? → A splash of vinegar works
• Want more protein? → Add a poached or fried egg on top

👉 This is flexible, not fussy.
