How much protein in our Avocado Smash?

Power Breakfast: The Protein Breakdown of T&T's Avocado Smash

Avocado toast lovers, rejoice! Not only is this dish irresistibly delicious, but it’s also a sneaky powerhouse of protein. Let’s crunch the numbers on the nutrient-packed version from our menu: creamy avocado on two slices of seven-seeded sourdough toast, topped with two poached eggs, feta, cherry tomatoes, a drizzle of olive oil, and a sprinkle of parsley.

The Breakdown

Avocado: While avocado isn’t known for its protein, it surprises with 2g of plant protein and a treasure trove of healthy fats to keep you energized.

Seven-Seeded Sourdough: Seeds like chia, sunflower, and sesame add protein punch to our sourdough, contributing 8g of protein to your plate.

Poached Eggs: Here’s where the protein shines. Eggs are nature’s protein MVP, and two deliver a whopping 12g of complete protein to help you power through your day.

Feta Cheese: Tangy and rich, feta adds 5g of protein alongside a savory depth of flavour.

Cherry Tomatoes: These vibrant bites aren’t protein-heavy, but they offer a splash of antioxidants and freshness, making your toast irresistible.

Olive Oil & Parsley: The finishing touch adds a drizzle of good fats and a sprinkle of herby brightness—pure magic, no protein needed!

The Grand Total?

Together, this masterpiece adds up to 27g of protein, perfect for keeping you full and fueled for hours.

Ready to indulge? Next time you enjoy this dish, know you’re treating yourself to more than just a delicious breakfast - you’re savouring a high-protein, nutrient-packed start to your day.

This is Rookery Farm, a family-run, 150-acre farm on the West Sussex coast. Their family has farmed here for over 130 years, and for the past 20, they’ve focused on producing top-quality organic eggs.

They believe happy chickens lay the best eggs, so their welfare is their top priority. Unlike most farms, their hen houses are mobile, and they rotate them to fresh pasture for each new flock. Though labour-intensive, this keeps the land healthy and natural. As an organic farm, they avoid chemicals and provide a balanced organic diet. Every morning, they care for their hens, ensuring they thrive.

All the eggs on the menu at T&T are sourced directly from Rookery Farm....FROM THEM, TO US... read more about there story here!
