Love a healthy and tasty topping for your toast? For a power-packed morning, there are many options that you can choose from, starting with a good protein peanut butter to tasty fruit toppings.
Here is a list of choices for you to add some variety and taste to your breakfast menu.
Peanut Butter
This best, protein packed spread for your toast. The sweet and salty flavour and the texture of peanut butter make it popular with kids and adults alike. Add a delicious twist to it by adding a layer of chopped bananas, berries or apples and you have a filling and healthy breakfast option. With a natural peanut butter like bGREEN 100% Vegan Protein Peanut Butter, you get all the health benefits without the unwanted calories.
Avocado spread
Mashed avocados with a mix of chopped tomatoes, onions and seasoning of your choice are perfect for anyone who loves a savoury topping with crispy toast. Avocados give you a higher dose of potassium in comparison to bananas. They are also loaded with healthy fatty acids and provide a low cholesterol option that goes perfectly with a weight loss diet.
Hummus
Want more protein-rich options to start your day with? Then you will love hummus. This spread made with boiled and ground chickpeas with a generous drizzle of olive oil tastes great with a well-toasted slice of bread. You can even get creative and prepare toasted breadsticks and serve them with hummus as a dip for a healthy snack option. Chickpeas are not just rich in protein but also contain vitamins, minerals and fibre that are known for their weight loss benefits.
Berries and cheese
Although it sounds quite unusual, berries and cheese are a match made in heaven. The slightly salty taste of cheese, when combined with juicy and sweet berries is just what you need for a breakfast spread that is beautifully balanced in flavour. Of course, this is a nutritionally packed spread that your whole family can enjoy. While cheese loads you with protein and calcium, berries are full of vitamins and antioxidants. When you add a slice of wheat bread or multigrain bread, you have the formula for an ideal breakfast option that contains protein, vitamins and fibre.
Honey
This is a simple option that is easily available in just about any household. Toast bread until it is nice and crispy. Then drizzle some honey on it for a sweet and delicious spread. The best thing about honey is that it is a versatile option. You can top it with any fruit of your choice or sprinkle some ground spices for a pop of taste. Honey gives you an instant buzz of energy that is extremely important when you start your day. It is also a rich source of vitamins and flavonoids that boost immunity, improve metabolism and combat harmful bacterial populations as well.
Herbs and olive oil
Here is another savoury option that adds a gourmet feel to your breakfast. Take a slice of multigrain bread and drizzle it with some olive oil. Sprinkle your choice of herbs like oregano or basil and add some grated garlic. Season it with salt and pepper and bake it for a few minutes. You can even add some cheese to make this spread the new favourite among children. It is your own healthy and tasty version of garlic bread that is loaded with beneficial fatty acids.
If you feel like there are no options besides jam and butter for your toast, you just found a list of healthy and tasty alternatives. You can now make breakfast interesting, and more importantly, extremely nourishing.
