Toast with the Most {Walnut Pesto Toast with Pears & Gorgonzola Cheese AND Strawberry Almond Butter Toast with Chia Seeds & Chocolate}

Think toast is boring?  Think again!  I will show you two healthy and outrageously delicious ways to eat your toast.

Disclaimer: I was compensated by Dave’s Killer Bread to create these recipes. However, like always, the opinions are entirely my own. Promise 🙂

There are so many breads in the grocery store today, but many of them are loaded with unnecessary preservatives and artificial junk that you don’t even know if a healthy option is out there.  It’s frustrating and I get overwhelmed just trying to read all the labels and ingredients.  Not any more.  I am SO excited to have found Dave’s Killer Bread! Finally, a healthy option.

Dave’s Killer Breads are packed with of Omega-3s and fiber from seeds and organic ingredients such as amaranth, barley, spelt, blue cornmeal, quinoa and pumpkin seeds, Thin-Sliced Dave’s Killer Bread is a great option for a snack-sized treat or those counting calories.  They are all 100% organic and Non-GMO Project Verified, vegan and loaded with protein.  I’m in heaven.

When I grew up, we had toast with our eggs… white bread (gasp!) and butter.  That’s it.  Maybe a little grape jelly if we were feeling crazy.  But that’s how I remember toast.  Until now…

Check out all of those seeds! I am so in love with this bread.  This toast is a perfect snack, lunch or breakfast (no judgement here…there ARE pears in there!)  It’s simple to make, healthy and crazy delicious.  I know someone who actually licked the pesto bowl clean!  Weird right?  Ok, it was me.

I even thought these would make really great appetizers if you cut them in quarters too.  Did I mention how much I loved that pesto?  And look at those seeds!

I used Dave’s Powerseed Bread for this toast.  Each slice has only 60 calories and 280 mg omega-3-fatty acids (the good fats).

Who says treats can’t be healthy?  This can also be a healthy snack too.  What’s not to love about almond butter, sliced strawberries, chia seeds and melted chocolate on the best bread ever? I know!

Let’s be honest, all toast should have melted chocolate over it.  And the almond butter adds protein and you know how healthy those chia seeds are!

I used Dave’s Good Seed Bread for this one.  It only has 70 calories, and 360 omega-3 fatty acids PER SLICE people!  That is some serious healthy stuff right there.
