Toast is, and probably always will be, a staple breakfast item. It’s easy, quick, and pretty filling!
Though your ordinary toasted bread topped with jelly is always good, there are so many healthy toast recipes that not only taste wonderful, but also provide a much-needed boost in nutritional value! Not to mention, the finished items are definitely aesthetically pleasing and social media-worthy.
Here are 12 simple and healthy breakfast toast ideas, along with a few tips that you might find to be helpful!
First Things First: Bread
There’s so many choices of bread out there! However, we recommend that you choose a whole grain, 100% whole wheat, or sprouted whole grain bread over white bread.
As most are already aware of, whole wheat or whole grain breads are made from whole grains (obviously), which have been found to be quite heart healthy. On the other hand, white bread is made from highly processed flour and additives that can contribute to many health issues, like obesity and diabetes.
So, first things first: grab yourself some pieces of whole grain bread!
