Dunkin Donuts Avocado Toast Review

Have you tried the avocado toast sandwich at Dunkin Donuts? Yes, they have some healthier items on their menu. I found out about the avocado toast when I stopped to get a doughnut a year ago. Since I am not a big avocado fan, it took me a while to try it out. When I found out one of my friends is suffering from the early onset of dementia, I decided to try the toast after reading about the benefits to the brain from eating avocados.


Brain Superfoods


We all had days when we did not feel like we were on our game. And as we age, both our bodies and our brains grow old as well. By making smart food choices, we can preserve our precious gray matter longer and improve brain function. Here are some brainy choices for keeping our noggins in tip-top shape.  


  • Blueberries have been shown to shield the brain from stress, dementia, and Alzheimer’s disease. Research has also shown that diets rich in blueberries significantly improved both the learning capacity and motor skills. 

  • Avocados, though considered a fatty fruit, contribute to healthy blood flow and decreased blood pressure, lessening the chances of developing hypertension, which can lead to a stroke. High blood pressure is linked with cognitive decline. If one reduces high blood pressure, by eating avocados, they may lower the risk of cognitive decline.

  •  Fish, such as salmon and tuna are a wise choice. Fatty fish are abundant in omega-3 essential fatty acids, which are essential for healthy brain function. 

  • Nuts and seeds are good sources of vitamin E, an important vitamin needed by your brain to stave off declining cognitive functions. Cashews, peanuts, walnuts, sunflower, sesame seeds, and almonds are all great choices. 

  • Whole-grain bread, brown rice, and oatmeal also contribute to a healthy brain by reducing the risk for cardiac disease. By promoting a healthy heart and improved blood flow, the brain is sure to thrive via excellent oxygen and nutrient delivery through the bloodstream. Complex carbohydrates also supply the brain with a steady stream of glucose that enhances brain function. Avoid simple carbohydrates often found in junk food because glucose gives the brain a short-lived sugar high, often followed by a crash that makes you feel hungry and tired. 

  • Freshly brewed tea also has potent antioxidants, especially the class known as catechines, which also promote healthy blood flow. Since black teas do contain caffeine, try to use them sensibly. 

  • Dark chocolate has powerful antioxidant properties, contains several natural stimulants, which enhance focus and concentration, and encourages the production of endorphins, which help improve mood. Again, moderation is the key.

Dunkin Donuts Avocado Toast Review

Since I'm just ho-hum on avocado, I ordered the toast with a bacon topping. When add the bacon, it is about 290 calories per toast. Now, if you don't want bacon, the total calories are 260. The serving size was enough to fill up my tank and it kept me full for a while. I broke my 16-hour fast with the avocado toast.


The taste was good but not great. If you love avocado, give it a try. Dunkin puts a generous helping of avocado on the toast. I would purchase it again if I don't have place around to get something healthy on the go. 


For those who purchase a Dunkin Doughnut daily and you are looking for something healthier to consume, you should consider the toast. Some of the donuts and the toast are the same calories. However, with the toast, you are consuming healthy fats not unsaturated fats, which can lead to future health problems.
