Ah toast. One of the nation's favourite. Nothing in the world beats a good cuppa with a toast. Well, until now, because today I am sharing with you my healthy toast 3 ways! This is a super fast recipe and therefore great when you're in a rush.
This recipe is sponsored by Bamix of Switzerland to show of their amazing Bamix Superbox Hand Blender; thank you Bamix for the support! Last week I made these easy party tartlets filled with avocado hummus using this fantastic blender, so check it out.
Now back to this super easy, nutritious, colourful, tasty and healthy toast 3 ways. I loved using sundried tomato sourdough bread from my local market in this recipe, but you could use any bread or give a go to my spelt homemade bread or wholemeal bread. Both work really well.
Let's talk about all the delicious toppings. Option one is broccoli, peas, mint, lemon, salt and pepper. Nutritional powerhouse with loads of vitamins, fiber, protein and nutrients. Use any type of broccoli, I love the tenderstem broccoli the most.
As far as peas go small, sweet peas are the best - petit pois is a great type to aim for. Frozen peas are fine. More than fine! Fresh mint of course with generous squeeze of lemon is a must too.
Option two is beetroot, feta (I used coconut one, but any will do) and cumin. So simple, yet so tasty. I know some of you are not the biggest fans of beetroot, but it's so good for you and when combined with cumin and feta it creates really good flavour combination.
Beetroots are good sources of vitamins and minerals, such as folate, manganese, potassium, iron and vitamin C. Plus look at the colour!
Last but not the least is white bean and garlic. Very simple, yet super tasty. You need white beans, garlic, oregano, salt, pepper olive oil and lemon. Beans contain great levels of fiber-protein, brilliant for your blood/sugar level, keeping you feeling full for longer, your digestive system and even reducing the risk of heart attacks.
Garlic is loaded with manganese, selenium and vitamin C as wells as calcium, potassium, iron and copper . It improves cholesterol levels, which in return help lowering the risk of heart disease. This white and garlic spread is so very good; your body will thank you for this nutritious beast!
