Since I eat an avocado every morning with this spice, my vitality has completely changed

In France, breakfast follows a familiar script: toast, butter, jam. The snag is, this sweet ritual often leaves a gap by 10 a.m. and energy that zigzags. A more satisfying duo changes the picture: avocado and protein, with a soft-boiled egg, smoked salmon or cottage cheese, whose unsaturated fats are good for cholesterol and help steady the appetite. The idea is to work it in gradually, to reshape the routine without jolting it.


Rethinking breakfast: a time-honored tradition

Ah, the French breakfast: slices of bread, salted butter, homemade jam. So comforting, isn’t it? Yet behind that familiar habit lies a caveat. For many, this iconic meal won’t carry you to noon. Mid-morning fatigue, unruly cravings… What if revisiting this tradition could change the picture?


The classic’s weak spot: flagging energy

Tasty as it is, this breakfast often misses key elements for steady energy. White bread and jam, for example, send blood sugar soaring, followed by a quick dip. Frustrating when you’re trying to start the day on the right foot! It’s time to rethink our morning plates.

Avocado and protein: a winning pair

How about switching things up? A creamy avocado, paired with a protein source like a soft-boiled egg, smoked salmon or cottage cheese. Beyond being delicious, this combo spotlights unsaturated fats—the kind that love your heart—as well as satisfying protein. The result: sustained energy and a longer-lasting feeling of fullness, far from the usual slumps.

Why avocado wins over nutritionists

Avocado isn’t just a trend; it’s packed with benefits. Rich in fiber, vitamins and essential fatty acids, it helps regulate blood sugar and may even have a positive effect on bad cholesterol. A great reason to refresh your habits with pleasure (and a hint of indulgence).

New habits, step by step

Changing breakfast doesn’t happen in a day. Here are a few simple ideas to adopt this promising duo:

  • Prepare a slice of whole-grain toast with smashed avocado, sprinkled with a little paprika or sesame seeds.
  • Serve sliced avocado with smoked salmon and a squeeze of lemon.
  • For a quicker option, add chunks of avocado to a bowl of cottage cheese.

These ideas take only a few minutes and promise a more energizing start to the day.


A routine reinvented

Since avocado found its place on the morning plate, the difference is striking: cravings have disappeared, and steady energy carries the morning. This change, both nourishing and simple, opens a new perspective on how we eat, without sacrificing pleasure.
