Avocado Toast for Anxiety Relief 🥑

🛒 Ingredients for Anxiety Relief

• 2 slices whole grain or sourdough bread (rich in magnesium for relaxation)
• 1 ripe avocado (high in healthy fats to nourish the brain)
• Juice of ½ a lemon (boosts serotonin levels for mood regulation)
• Chili flakes (contain capsaicin to release endorphins, the "feel-good" hormones)
• 1 soft-boiled egg (packed with protein and tryptophan to increase serotonin)
• Salt & pepper
• Drizzle of extra virgin olive oil (rich in antioxidants and omega-3s)
• Microgreens or fresh herbs (rich in magnesium and B-vitamins for stress relief)
• Optional: a sprinkle of turmeric (anti-inflammatory properties that reduce stress)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Toast the bread until golden and crisp. Whole grain or sourdough are best, as they are high in magnesium, a mineral that helps with relaxation.
2. Mash the avocado in a bowl and mix in the lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Avocados are rich in healthy fats that help nourish the brain and promote mental clarity.
3. Spread the avocado mixture evenly over the toast.
4. Top with chili flakes, which contain capsaicin to help release endorphins, your body’s natural mood boosters.
5. Add a soft-boiled egg on top. Eggs are high in tryptophan, which helps your body produce serotonin, a neurotransmitter known for its calming effects.
6. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil for added antioxidants and omega-3s, which support brain health and reduce stress.
7. Finish with microgreens or fresh herbs for a boost of magnesium and B-vitamins, known for their role in stress reduction.
8. Optional: Sprinkle with turmeric for its anti-inflammatory properties, which have been shown to reduce anxiety and promote relaxation.
