One of my favorite parts about this time of year is the range of fresh produce. From fruits to veggies to fresh herbs, nature's bounty overflows from the produce aisles and local farmers markets.<\/p>\n

Throughout nearly seven\u00a0years of blogging, I've written about farmers market excursions on many\u00a0occasions.<\/p>\n

In fact, one of the very first posts I ever wrote<\/a> was about a magical trip to Green City Market. Other than the fact that I no longer eat dairy-based cheeses, nearly everything about that post still rings true all these years later.<\/p>\n

The farmers market is truly my summertime happy place. If it wouldn't be judged as a bit creepy\u00a0or altogether quirky, I'd happily\u00a0plop down and people- and produce-watch for hours.<\/p>\n

And whenever I'm in a recipe idea rut, the farmers market is my go-to cure. A few minutes amid pretty produce with a peaceful breeze in the air, and the lightbulbs begin to flash.<\/p>\n

Usually, I'll plan out a general recipe idea whilst perusing; however, as I meandered through the vendors' tents and overflowing produce bins at a neighborhood farmers market the other week, a\u00a0delicate spring rain picked up speed and morphed into a full on torrential downpour.<\/p>\n

Thus, I quickly grabbed what looked good\u2014radishes, some gnarly looking heirloom tomatoes, teensy ruby-hued strawberries, and the most wonderful seeded bread from a local bakery\u2014tucked the goods into my bag, and made a run for the car.<\/p>\n

As I unloaded the rather small but intriguing\u00a0farmers market haul onto the kitchen counter, a simple idea came to mind:<\/p>\n

Farmers market toast... two ways<\/strong><\/p>\n

Both toasts would feature that beautiful seeded bread.<\/p>\n

One toast would feature the radishes while the other showcased the strawberries.<\/p>\n

And thus, two types of breakfast toast\u2014one sweet, one savory\u2014came to be.<\/p>\n

\"Farmers<\/p>\n

The top toast\u2014Sliced Avocado, Radish + Lemon Toast\u2014is a springtime twist on classic avocado toast. I love how the fresh crunch of the radishes and the brightness of the\u00a0lemon juice play off the creamy avocado. It's a simple yet immensely satisfying combination.<\/p>\n

To bring an extra boost of vitamins and minerals to the meal, I paired the savory toast\u00a0with Naked Pressed Bright Greens juice\u2014a blend of apple, cucumber, celery, lettuce, lemon, kale, spinach, and wheatgrass. If you're looking for a green juice that offers both a welcoming freshness (with a hint of sweetness)\u00a0and<\/em> packs a punch of nutrients, Bright Greens\u00a0is an excellent go-to.<\/p>\n

The bottom toast\u2014Smashed Strawberry + Almond Butter Toast\u2014is like a jazzed up, fancy version of a pb + j. Seeded bread is toasted, slathered with drippy almond butter, and topped with gently smashed strawberries, a drizzle of vegan honey or pure maple syrup, and a pinch of ground cardamom (optional). This toast works especially well with those tiny, farm-fresh strawberries you'll find at markets this time of year. The berries tend to be super tender and juicy, nearly bursting open when pressed.<\/p>\n

I paired the sweeter toast with Naked Pressed Bold Beet juice\u2014a blend of beet, carrot, cucumber, apple, lemon, orange, and ginger. I've found this juice to be particularly energizing as well as digestion soothing, making it ideal for kickstarting each day<\/a>.<\/p>\n
