Pistachio & Avocado Bagel Toast with Honey Drizzle (FOOD PHOTO SHOOT)

gringalicious (78) in food • 7 years ago

Here’s me following a trend just for the heck of it again.

On a scale of one to ten how lame do you think that is? I mean, I don’t think of myself as being follower of the norm by any means, and way more often than not I stay as far from a fad as I can. However, I’ll admit that it’s a rarity, but sometimes the bandwagon gang knows their stuff, and I’m pretty sure this is one of those times. Avocado toast people, it’s where it’s at!

I think the craze started because avo makes a way healthier alternative to just about anything that would usually make an appearance on your toast. As you all know it’s an incredible super food, plus there’s the fact that it’s completely scrumdidly-YUM-cious! It’s like nature’s version of I can’t believe it’s not butter. Of course, I’m wondering if including cream cheese in the party negates the whole healthy thing, but it’s all in the balance right? Yeah, let’s go with that. I have a strict no-skimping-on-snacktime policy.

This barely counts as a recipe unless you count the fact that I made the bagels myself, but I’m really loving the fact that this is majorly simple right now. Of course, I am going to have to recommend making the homemade bagels, but if you’re trying to enjoy the simplicity of this, or you’re just looking for the perfect snack to throw together, then I understand that too. If that’s the case then just make sure to use some really good store-bought bagels for the job. You could use a slice of your favorite bread instead if you’d prefer. A doughy slice of whole grain seed bread would be delish.

So I did go with the wave on this one but I wanted to give my avo toast something of its own twist and with March being right around the corner I was thinking the green on green from adding pistachios would be both gorgeous and yummy. This is definitely how to put the fun back in functional snacks.

Happy Wednesday friends!

As always, the recipe is available upon request, and I always give an upvote for the first one.

Also, check out some of my other recent food posts for more mouthwatering photos!

ALL CONTENT IS MINE AND ORIGINAL! All of these food photos were taken with my Nikon D5300 and my favorite Lens, the Nikon AF-S FX NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G. You can find out more in my INTRO POST.

AND A HUGE MASSIVE SHOUT OUT TO@rigaronib for designing my logo!!!!

I am always open to feedback, and would love to know how you feel I could do better and please do not forget to

Wow, this looks fantastic @gringalicious I love avocados and pistachios. I would have never thought of putting them on a bagel with honey though. I had something like it with ice cream in the past.

I have a question about your photo setup. Do you use any light modifiers when shooting like an umbrella or softbox or is this all shot held held with natural light? I'm just curious since you normally seem to have great lighting in all your shots. :)

gringalicious (78) · 7 years ago

Good question @rockjon. I always ALWAYS use natural light for my food photos but I do occasionally use a simple softener in the window or reflector on the side when necessary. Haha, my dad makes fun of me and calls me a food photography snob. I hope that's helpful, my friend!
