TOAST: 3 WAYS

6/8/2016

Hey guys! If you follow us on Instagram, you may have realized that I am a lover of toast. Toast is awesome because it is a blank canvas that you can make some tasty, easy and healthy creations. Plus, toast is good all times of the day - not just breakfast.

Yep. Toast can be healthy! Bread gets a bad rep when it comes to healthy eating. But it can totally fit! It is just important to choose nutrient dense bread and toppings. (The more nutrients a food has; the more nutrient dense it is.) Here are a couple of toast tips:
  • Choose 100% whole wheat bread. Check the ingredient list, too. Make sure the first ingredient is whole wheat flour. 100% whole wheat still contains all the nutritiousness such as fiber and B vitamins naturally whereas white flour does not (which is why it has to be enriched).
  • Combine carbohydrates + protein (and a healthy fat) every time. This makes toast a complete meal. Our bodies need all three (carbs, protein & fat) to function properly. Also, it gives is more staying power and will keep you satisfied longer.  In the toasts below, I will specify each protein with (P), carbohydrate with (C) and healthy fat with (HF).
