This strange but good combination of avocado, almond butter and kale in the Vegan Breakfast Sandwich will have vegans and non-vegans alike craving breakfast all day long.
Let’s be real, has anyone ever said they hate breakfast sandwiches? I don’t think so. I mean, let’s think about it… it’s breakfast… in a sandwich. Ok, that sounded like such a stoner thought, but the fact remains that breakfast sandwiches are amazing and will remain amazing for all of time. Even thinking about breakfast sandwiches is enough to make me happy.
The one rub is, vegans often get the short end of the stick. I mean eggs and cheese (and meat) are off the table which leaves… tomato? During my experiments with veganism I always craved a good ‘ol bfast sammie and felt pretty deprived.
However, while I may not be a vegan anymore, this year I had an epic revelation in the form of a majestic breakfast sandwich that was… yes, vegan. I first tried this combination at my favorite breakfast/lunch spot on Nantucket: the Green. “What was on this majestic sandwich?” you ask! The strangest combination of ingredients that resulted in something that was quite epic: Kale, Avocado & Almond butter.
Say what?
I know, I get it. I was skeptical at first. But more than anything, I was intrigued because those are 3 of my favorite things. No, I hadn’t tried putting them together before, but there’s a first time for everything. I went ahead and ordered this crazy creation and low and behold it was freakin’ delish. I still don’t get it to be honest. But it’s literally my order every single time I go there now.
I had to share this combination with you because it’s just too good to keep to myself. Beyond tasting amazing, I love this breakfast because it keeps me full all morning (thanks healthy fat) and gives me a hefty serving of veggies too.
Go ahead. Try it. I dare ya!

I LOVE a bagel, LOX, vegetable cream cheese, and lots of red onion with lettuce and tomato…I need to get one of these when I go home for Christmas in a couple of weeks! Happy Tuesday! XOXO
New Jersey has theeee best bagels! Love me some lox!
i do avocado and greens in sandwich but almond butter ..hmmm im gonna have to try it sometime!!
Sounds crazy but tastes crazy good!
If you think this is crazy, you should see my dump salads. I’m a big fan of eggs, but I get tired of them every so often and I never ever get tired of almost butter. I would totally eat this and love it
Loove big dump salads – just all the good stuff in a bowl. Haha I know, I was kind of hoping I’d get sick of almond butter (for my wallet’s sake) but no such luck, still addicted.
My mouth is watering. Seriously, all of my favorites. I’m going to make this when I’m home for break for my family and they won’t know what hit them.
Haha I can see it now, you serving up a platter of these bad boys. Thanks Em!
wo0o0oah this is so crazy it just might work. i love a good bagelwich- eggs, cheese, sausage. it’s a rare occurrence for me but i just love it.
Yeah, there’s nothing quite like a good breakfast sandwich. It’s seriously the best.
It looks oddly delicious!!! I’d totally dig this for lunch though, I need sweet for breakfast!
This looks INCREDIBLE! All of my favorite things in one sandwich…. I am all about it.
Thanks Brie! You really can’t argue with almond butter and avocado right?!
I am not a vegan, and I want this SO BAD and am allergic to two of the three major ingredients. I feel like peanut butter just doesn’t “go” with kale. Maybe sunflower seed butter, kale, and…tomato? Hahaha.
You know what, I bet this would be really good with sunbutter! I’ll have to try it and report back.
BRB. *DROOLING*
Hee hee
I’m convinced almond butter goes with everything. This looks deeelicious. I love getting some veggies in for breakfast!
So true. At this point there’s little I wouldn’t eat with almond butter on it.
I NEED TO MAKE THIS! I am so intrigued
If you do let me know! It sounds weird but it’s so damn good.
ahhh i melted a little inside when i saw this on Insta. I have all the ingreds except for kale. maybe i’ll ease myself into this sandwich and try it with kale next week haha. Looks incredible
Thanks Bev! The kale really makes it – so crunchy and the sauteed kale flavor can’t be beat. You’re gonna love it.
This. is. EPIC. I love eggs on my breakfast sandwich, but I can get down with this. My fav brekky combo is def eggs, avo, goat cheese (or feta), and sometimes I throw in some sweet pototao, oh and kale if I have it. I love the texture and taste you get from kale in eggs vs spinach! But I’m trying this almond butter avo combo here on my toast, ASAP.
Seriously, every time I look at that sandwich makes me SO hungry! Can’t wait to get some almond butter and make this ASAP!
Ooooh, these look delicious! I’m looking for new breakfast ideas so thanks for this!
I’m fascinated by the almond butter, kale, and avocado combo! It sounds so, so strange but your pictures make it look so delicious. Nice work, Georgie 🙂
Oh my gosh I am SO trying this. Breakfast sandwiches are my all-time fav and since going (mostly) vegan I haven’t been able to find a good one since! This looks strangely good though!
This looks sooo yummy!! Will definately give it a go……my favourite so far and has been for years is peanut butter and sliced tomato, a sprinkle of himalayan salt and a good twist of black pepper. Sounds weird but is totally delish!!
Woahhh gotta try it!
i dont like avocado (dont hate me plz) but this combo sounds killer and i think you’re the one that will finally get me to eat it… and people have been trying FOREVA.
