Breakfast/Snack: Whole Wheat Cinnamon Toast

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

1. Toast the bread to whatever crunchiness you prefer.
2. Spread the butter on top and let melt.
3. If using honey, drizzle/spread it on once the butter is melted.
4. Sprinkle cinnamon on top, enough to lightly coat the surface of your toast
