I actively avoid over-consuming grains, so I try to only eat them once or twice a day. When I do eat bread or pasta I usually opt for the whole-grain choice, and always pair it with a good amount of protein. When I start my morning with a slice or two of toast and some chicken apple sausage or eggs, I feel nourished for several hours before needing a mid-morning snack.
Here’s a fun spin on the typical sliced-loaf, buttered toast! It might even become my new standard. Whether you’re preparing this for breakfast or a snack, remember to pair this with protein!
Ingredients
- 1-2 slices whole wheat French bread (or bread of your choice, or make your own!)
- 1-3 Tbs. butter
- A few shakes of cinnamon
- Optional: 1-2 tsp. honey
Directions
- Toast the bread to whatever crunchiness you prefer.
- Spread the butter on top and let melt.
- If using honey, drizzle/spread it on once the butter is melted.
- Sprinkle cinnamon on top, enough to lightly coat the surface of your toast
