Kimchi Avocado Toast (Gluten-Free, Gut Healthy)

This Kimchi Avocado Toast recipe uses ingredients with beneficial probiotics and prebiotics along with healthy fats and fiber for a perfect breakfast to start your day. When choosing a bread, sourdough is your best option.  We're topping these on a toasted gluten-free sourdough from Bread SRSLY which supports a strong gut microbiome while being a delicious gluten-free bread alternative. 

Here is what each ingredient adds to your diet: 

Benefits of Avocado

Avocado has heart-healthy unsaturated fats and oleic acid, an anti-inflammatory monounsaturated fatty acid that lowers bad cholesterol and increases good cholesterol. It also contains a high amount of fiber. Half an avocado has about 6.7 g of fiber. Along with 14.7 g of healthy fats, fiber helps low down digestion, leading to satiety and lower blood sugar levels.  

Avocado also has Vitamins C, E, K, and most abundantly, vitamin B5, B6, and Folate (B9), which aid in healthy cell function and energy production.

Benefits of Kimchi

Kimchi is a popular ingredient in Korean dishes made from fermenting cabbage and adding garlic, ginger, fish sauce and Korean red pepper flakes, creating a tangy umami flavor. Its fermentation process is what creates beneficial probiotics which aid in nutrient digestion, supporting a strong microbiome and thus digestive system.

Benefits of Gluten-Free Sourdough

Like kimchi, sourdough is also a fermented food. It contains probiotics which add beneficial and diverse bacteria into your microbiome. The fermentation process creates bacteria that consume the proteins and glucose in flour, making it easier to digest and reducing the impact of glucose on blood sugar levels. Bread SRSLY's gluten-free sourdough is made with a blend of fiber-rich gluten-free flours and is traditionally fermented. If you're looking for a gut-friendly gluten free bread, Bread SRSLY is an incredible option.
