Morning Essentials: Avo Toast and Coffee
Share
The first sixty minutes of your day are the most important. They are the "launchpad" for your focus, your mood, and your physical performance. Yet, for so many of us, the morning routine has become a series of compromises. We either grab a quick coffee and run (hello, 10:00 AM jitters), or we sit down to a heavy breakfast that leaves us feeling like we need to crawl back into bed.
At 99th Monkey, we believe in a third way. We call it The 99th Monkey Way.
It’s a morning ritual that balances indulgence with intelligence. It’s the perfect marriage of a classic, creamy Smashed Avo Toast and our high-performance Coffee Protein Smoothie. This duo isn't just breakfast; it’s a strategic fuel injection designed for your busiest, most demanding days.
Today, we’re breaking down why this specific combination is the ultimate morning essential for the modern "monkey" and how you can upgrade your routine to avoid the crash and own the day.
The 99th Monkey Way: A Symphony of Macros
When you look at Avo Toast and a Coffee Protein Smoothie, you aren't just looking at a "trendy" breakfast. You are looking at a masterclass in macronutrient balance. To fuel an evolution, your body needs three things in the morning:
-
Complex Carbohydrates: For steady brain power.
-
Healthy Fats: For hormonal balance and satiety.
-
Clean Protein: For muscle repair and metabolic fire.
By pairing the healthy fats of the avocado with the 20g of plant-based protein in our smoothie, you are creating a "timed-release" energy system. The fats slow down the digestion of the toast, while the protein ensures your muscles stay fuelled and your appetite stays regulated until lunch.
The "Caffeine Kick" Without the "Caffeine Crash"
We all love coffee. It’s the ritualistic spark that gets the gears turning. But the traditional morning latte—often loaded with dairy sugars or artificial syrups—comes with a hidden cost: the crash.
You know the feeling. You feel like a superhero for forty-five minutes, and then, as soon as you sit down for your first meeting, the energy vanishes. This is usually the result of a "sugar spike" followed by an "insulin dump."
The Stats That Change the Game
Our Coffee Protein Smoothie was formulated to solve this exact problem. We wanted to give you that bold cold-brew kick, but with a nutritional profile that respects your energy levels:
-
✅ <1% Sugar: By removing the refined sugars found in most cafe-style iced coffees, we’ve eliminated the energy spike. Your energy remains on a steady, focused plateau.
-
✅ <1% Fat: We let the avocado on your toast provide the healthy fats, keeping our smoothie lean, clean, and incredibly easy for your body to process.
-
✅ 20g Plant Protein: This is the anchor. Protein stabilizes your blood sugar and provides the amino acids needed for cognitive function and muscle maintenance.
It’s high-quality fuel that works as hard as you do.
The Recipe: The "Elite" Morning Duo
Ready to upgrade your morning? Here is how to execute the 99th Monkey Way at home in under five minutes.
1. The 99th Monkey Avo Toast
-
The Bread: Use a thick slice of sprouted sourdough or a high-fibre gluten-free loaf.
-
The Fat: Half a ripe avocado, smashed with a squeeze of lime and a pinch of chili flakes.
-
The Pro-Tip: To take it to the elite level, add a thin "base layer" of our Smooth Almond Butter underneath the avocado. The nuttiness of the almonds paired with the creaminess of the avo is a flavour you’ll never want to give up.
2. The Chilled Coffee Smoothie
-
The Base: One chilled carton of 99th Monkey Coffee Protein Smoothie.
-
The Method: Shake it well to get that "silk-smooth" texture. Drink it straight from the carton if you’re on the move, or pour it over a few ice cubes in a tall glass for a cafe-style experience at your kitchen bench.
Tummy Friendly: The "No-Bloat" Evolution
One of the most common reasons people skip breakfast or stick to plain black coffee is digestive discomfort. Many protein shakes and dairy-heavy breakfasts lead to that heavy, "bloated" feeling that makes you want to unbutton your jeans before the day has even started.
We’ve formulated our Coffee Protein Smoothie to be Lactose-Free and Plant-Based. It is designed to be "easy on the stomach."
By choosing the 99th Monkey Way, you are choosing a "light" energy. You’ll feel physically "empty" (no bloat) but nutritionally "full" (plenty of energy). It’s the sweet spot of performance nutrition that allows you to head straight from the breakfast table to a Pilates session or a high-stakes presentation without a second thought.
Why "Clean Nutrition" is a Morning Essential
The word "essential" gets thrown around a lot, but in 2026, clean nutrition truly is the baseline for success. We are living in a world of "zero nasties."
When you start your day with 99th Monkey, you are choosing a brand that refuses to use:
-
No Palm Oil: Keeping your cardiovascular health and the environment in mind.
- No Messy Powders: Our ready-to-drink smoothies mean you don't have to deal with clumps, grit, or the dreaded "protein dust" on your clean kitchen counters.
It’s about making the healthy choice the path of least resistance.
Fuelling Your Busiest Days
We know that for the 99th Monkey community, "busy" is an understatement. You’re balancing careers, fitness, social lives, and personal growth. You don't have time for a mid-morning slump, and you certainly don't have time for a breakfast that doesn't deliver results.
The Avo Toast + Coffee Smoothie combo is the ultimate "productivity hack."
-
The Caffeine provides the immediate mental clarity.
-
The Protein provides the long-term satiety.
-
The Healthy Fats provide the brain fuel.
It’s the morning motif for the high-achiever who refuses to compromise on quality or taste.
