Think toast is boring? Think again! I will show you two healthy and outrageously delicious ways to eat your toast. I am going to satisfy your sweet craving with this delicious Strawberry Almond Butter Toast with Chia Seeds and Chocolate and your savory craving with thus scrumptious Walnut pesto Toast with Sliced Pears and Gorgonzola Cheese.
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).
So after that delicious savory toast, you're craving something sweet now, right? Boy do I have something for you!
Who says treats can't be healthy? This is tasty enough to be a dessert and also healthy enough to be a breakfast or 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 healthy fats 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.
