Toast and toppings

Toast doesn’t just have to be limited to breakfast, it can provide the perfect snack to keep you going until dinner. Opt for low GI breads (rye, wholemeal, pumpernickel, sourdough) to give you a source of healthy carbs and then experiment with toppings.

As a snack it is slightly more substantial and some of the toppings contain more calories than others. However all are full of goodness and very tasty – perfect for the days when you know you’ve got a long gap between meals. Here are some of my favourites:

Avocado, coriander, squeeze of lime

Nut butter and banana

Marmite and cucumber

Poached egg

Grilled tomatoes

Banana, drizzle of honey, cinnamon and seeds

Sliced and grilled nectarine/ peach, dollop of yoghurt and a sprinkle of honey
