Avocado toast has made its way onto the plates and into the hearts of Richmond diners in the last few years, and while trends ebb a
nd flow, we hope this one is here to stay. It’s easy to see why this any-time-of-day treat has become so popular: It’s healthy, it’s filling, it’s simple and it’s delicious. And contrary to the simplicity of its name, there are so many different ways to serve it. At North End Juice Co., the healthy-living spot serving up juices, smoothies, poke bowls and gelato, avocado toast comes in two iterations. The classic features garlic hummus, avocado spread, cherry tomatoes, sesame seeds and microgreens. For something a little heftier, you can opt for the version with spicy tuna and seaweed salad.
“We put avocado toast on the menu basically to jump on the bandwagon on what’s trending in the health and wellness space,” says owner Channing Miller. “We just wanted to elevate it and put our unique twist on it.”
Pair either of these toasts with the Don, a smoothie featuring mixed berries, acai, goji, avocado, spinach and apple juice, and you’ll be getting just about everything your body needs in one simple, colorful meal.
