Thanks for joining Sarah and me for Meatless Monday today. I love avocado toast but let’s be honest, it’s kind of 2019. Plain old Avo toast needs an update. My regular readers know I love a good breakfast before my workouts and runs and I am constantly looking for fun ways to tweak them. It’s important for me to get a nice combo of protein and carbs to start my day and that’s how this Smashed Pea and White Bean Toast came about.
Smashed Pea and White Bean Toast
Not only is this Smashed Pea and White Bean Toast just as easy as avocado toast, it’s also packed with protein and fiber. Even if you are not a bean lover per se, white beans are so mild you won’t even know they are in here. Promise! Of course you will want to start with a nice, crusty bread for your toast. I like a hearty sourdough or multigrain that can hold the weight of the veggies. (If only I could figure out how to get a few loaves of that homemade Sourdough my co-host Miss Whisk is always showing off)
This breakfast can literally be made in the time it takes to toast your bread. I used frozen peas and canned white beans. Super easy! You can also prep the beans in advance and use them for a few meals. Add in a few spices and you are good to go. Simple as that. I often add a sliced hard boiled egg onto avocado toast and that would be a great addition here and a bump up in protein.

I love avocado toast as well, what a fun twist!
It is fun to mix it up!
I love a crispy sourdough for toast. It feels so fancy!
It sure does!
What a delicious recipe! I’ve never thought of using peas and white beans on toast- it sounds delightful. Thanks for hosting.
Thanks so much! It is great to mix it up every once in a while
I love a good crispy sourdough and this is such a fun twist on avocado toast!
Me too and thanks so much! Hope you give it a try
I’ve been all about the toast for breakfast lately – this looks delicious!
Thanks it is fun to mix it up
I don’t know if I’d have this for breakfast but for sure I’d eat it for lunch! thanks for another great idea!
Thanks for checking it out! Have a great day
You have the best recipes. if I ever cook (lol) I’ll know where to look.
Do you really never cook? This one is really not even cooking you can do it!
I have heard of avocado toast but never putting beans and peas on it. That would be much cheaper…..haha.
Yes very economical indeed!
You always make food looks so darn good! I’m a fan of toast with eggs and avocados for breakfast. Though this weekend since we’ve been sick, I’ve only eaten bland foods 🙁 .
Thanks and hope you try out this version. Hope you are all feeling better
I’ve done peas which I’ve been dreaming of growing in our garden but haven’t tried white beans. This is a genius idea for adding in protein and love the fact that for some reason I have a bunch of cans of white beans in my cupboard and no clue what to do with them.
Happy Meatless Monday!
Thanks! I loved the texture of the white beans in there and the extra protein bump. Would be great on your delicious bread
What a fun twist on avocado toast! I haven’t had peas in so long (since I was a kid), so I think it’s time to try them again!
Really not since you were a kid? We need to change that asap
I love peas and white beans – great sources of plant-based protein!
yes indeed! Thanks for checking them out
Peas are one of my favorite foods! I love eating fresh peas out of the garden – only a few more months!
Yes fresh peas are delicious and you can steam them for a few minutes for this recipe
Yum, I love sour dough bread! Well… any kind of bread! Even wheat toast!
Yes me too bread is my downfall! Bread and cheese and chocolate 🙂
I love avocado toast! This is a creative twist!
Thanks friend! Hope you try it out
I’ve never thought to put avocado on toast before. I’ll have to get on trying that out!
REally you’ve never tried it? It’s been all the rage the last few years
What a great idea! I love the beans to give it texture and more protein!
Thanks I love the extra protein as well
Yum, this looks so good and also pretty quick! I’ve been looking for options to change up my lunches at work and I bet this would be good for lunch too with an egg on top.
Absolutely! Let me know if you give it a try
Believe it or not, peas are one of the numerous veggies I’m not really a fan of LOL But, I do like white beans…I could probably giving this a try if I up the seasonings (ten-fold) 😉 Honestly, I had never thought of eating toast (in the morning at least) with anything other than butter or jam. That’s a great way to mix up the routine!
A great way to mix it up indeed!
This looks like such a tasty combo! Incorporating the beans is such a great way to add more protein and fibre to the piece of toast! Very creative!!
Thanks so much! I do love to find ways to up the protein where ever I can
I always have to have some sort of carb with my breakfast, so something like this is a great way to get my carbs without loading up. Adding this to next week’s grocery list!
Fabulous thanks so much hope you enjoy it
I love putting white beans in my avocado toast! Great protein boost!
Indeed! Thanks
Interesting. I don’t usually do toast, but I love peas, and I love white beans. This could even make a really nice appetizer if done as a crostini.
yes definitely would!
i will definitely think of this combo next time i need a light lunch…it sounds so so good just by itself too.
It really is-I hope you try it out sometime
What an easy and delicious recipe. I could go for a slice now!
Super easy to whip up anytime!
That toast looks yummy!
It sure was! Thanks
I was so late to the game trying avocado toast! I had my first taste just a couple of months ago! No way I’m missing out on this trend. My girls are loving grilled cheese at the moment so maybe I can sneak in some peas also 🙂
That would be a fun combo!
I have really been loving avocado toast recently haha. I bet I would love the bean addition to this recipe as I’m sure it makes it nice and creamy! I hope you had a fantastic holiday.
Bumps up the protein too hope you give it a try
I love white beans and use them a lot! Of course, avocado toast would be hard to give up. 🙂
Maybe you can combine the 2!
Sounds good! I’ve done avocado toast and I’ve tried a chickpea toast but haven’t tried one with peas before. I’ll have to keep this option in mind for variety 🙂
It’s a fun way to mix it up let me know if you give it a try
What a fun way to mix up breakfast!
Agreed! I need to spice it up sometimes
That’s a different and delicious looking combination! I love new breakfast ideas!
Thanks me too!
This looks so delicious! I am going to make it tomorrow for breakfast…YUM!!
Fabulous hope you enjoy it too
I love white beans (peas, not so much…but they do add some great color). Great mix of flavors and seasonings!
Thanks so much!
