(S)mashed Avocado on Toast
Smashed or mashed? We offered an optional spelling, just in case you think we’re gettin’ all hipster on you! Whatever you call it, avocado on toast is gorgeous. It doesn’t have to be expensive either – there are plenty of bargains in supermarkets and greengrocers. We’ve also found frozen avocados – see below. And of course, the ready-to-eat variety are handy and found everywhere.
And given that avos can be a bit hit and miss in the UK, here are two more suggestions!
- Tesco frozen avocado halves – not tried these ourselves yet but we’ve heard good things…
- This link looks at 5 methods of ripening and which ones work! (Disclaimer – not tested by Viva!)

Did you know that the Vegan Recipe Club is run by Viva!, and that we are a charity?
We create vital resources to help educate everyone – vegan veterans, novices and the v-curious alike – about vegan food, health and nutrition; as well as the plight of farmed animals and the devastating environmental impact of farming.
Through this work we have helped thousands of people discover veganism; but we want to reach millions more! We rely entirely on donations as we don’t get any government funding. If you already support us, thank you from the bottom of our hearts, you are really making a difference! Please share our details with your friends and loved ones too, as every donation enables us to keep fighting for change.
