Avocado toast remains a breakfast staple, yet it often feels repetitive and costly due to rising produce prices. Savory breakfast fans have a compelling alternative: lima beans on toast deliver a silky smooth texture, savory profile, and subtle fruity notes that many describe as “shockingly delicious.”
Why Choose Lima Beans Over Avocado?
This swap revitalizes morning meals with a spread that mimics avocado’s creaminess at a fraction of the cost. Food experts at Sauce Stache highlight its benefits: “This dish turns out phenomenal, and it’s low in net carbs, high in fibre, and protein. It also plays a pretty important role in your metabolic health.” The recipe serves two and prepares in just 15 minutes.
