Main ingredients of peanut butter blueberry toast
This peanut butter toast is a healthy choice because it combines several nutrient-dense ingredients –
- Bread – Choose whole grain or multigrain bread for added fiber and nutrients. You can also opt for sprouted grain breads like Ezekiel bread, which offer a higher content of protein, fiber, and essential vitamins and minerals compared to conventional bread
- Peanut Butter – Peanut butter is a good source of protein and healthy fats. Opt for natural, unsalted peanut butter containing no added sugars or hydrogenated fats. When choosing peanut butter, select one with peanuts listed as the only ingredient.
- Blueberries – Sweet and tangy blueberries complement the earthy flavors of peanut butter really well. I love adding fresh blueberries to this toast, however, you can also use frozen blueberries. You just need to microwave them in short intervals till they are warm.
- Almonds – Sliced or chopped almonds add an extra crunch and texture to the toast. They also contribute extra protein, healthy fats and essential nutrients, making this toast a well-rounded, nutritious option.
Topping suggestions & variations
This toast is highly customizable according to your preferences, in fact you can make a completely new version each time. Some toppings that go very well on this toast are –
- Seeds – Sprinkle chia seeds, flax seeds, pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds for added nutrition and crunch.
- Coconut flakes: Unsweetened coconut flakes add a great flavor to this toast.
- Cinnamon – A dash of cinnamon adds a warm, spicy flavor.
- Granola – Top with granola for extra crunch and a mix of textures.
- Honey or maple syrup – A light drizzle of honey or maple syrup adds a natural sweetness that complements the toast very well.
- Dark Chocolate Chips – Add a few dark chocolate chips for a decadent touch.
- Mixed Berries – Mix blueberries with raspberries or blackberries for a quick variation
Serving suggestions
Pair this peanut butter blueberry toast with a side of Greek yogurt or a glass of milk for a nutritious, well-balanced and satisfying breakfast. Or enjoy it with a cup of tea or a smoothie for a quick snack.
It is also a convenient and healthy option to pack for lunch boxes. Pack the toast components separately (peanut butter and blueberries) to assemble and enjoy at work or school.
This toast makes a great pre-workout snack, providing the energy boost you need. Alternatively, combine it with a glass of milk for a well-rounded post-workout meal.
