The zero-waste kitchen ritual for the “avocado lover”

Because I have a distinct personal preference for avocados and incorporate them into almost every aspect of my life (even though my children absolutely do not share my love for them, which means I can eat the whole delicious load entirely for myself!), I categorically refuse to let stale bread go to waste.

Instead of throwing it away, I make something beautiful out of it! I turn my stale bread into crispy, golden-brown farmhouse croutons to garnish a simple, refreshing salad, with my beloved three-ingredient avocado puree .

Ingredients you need:

2 cups of stale bread, cut into 2.5 cm cubes: (Sourdough bread or sturdy whole wheat bread works best!)
1 tablespoon of pure, cold-pressed avocado oil: This is my secret trick! It makes the bread beautifully crispy and simultaneously adds a generous dose of heart-friendly monounsaturated fats.
A small pinch of garlic powder, kosher salt , and dried herbs (such as thyme or oregano).
For the base: ½ large, perfectly ripe avocado, mashed with a splash of fresh lemon juice and a pinch of sea salt flakes.

Step-by-step instructions:

The gentle mixing method: Preheat the oven to 190°C. Mix the stale bread cubes with the avocado oil, garlic powder, salt, and herbs until they are evenly coated.
The crispy casserole: Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, tossing halfway through, until they are deep golden brown and crispy.
The conscious preparation: Spread your creamy, lemon-flavored avocado puree on a slice of freshly toasted bread or a bed of green salad, and generously sprinkle your homemade, zero-waste croutons over it.
The daily habit: While enjoying this with my warm tea, I take five calm, deep breaths. I remind myself that I am resourceful and capable and nourish my body with simple, healthy, God-given foods. The healthy fats in the avocado support my blood vessels, while the warmth of the tea soothes my digestion.
