Ways to Spice Up Your Breakfast Toast

​One thing I've noticed whenever I look for speedy breakfast ideas is that I always wind up with a lot of toast recipes on my hands. It makes sense if you think about it: Toast is almost always going to come together quickly (I mean, it is just toasted bread with stuff on top, after all). And, provided you're using sprouted grain, minimally processed or gluten-free bread or an alternative to bread like sliced sweet potatoes as the base, it can be a great healthy option, too. 

But, how boring is it to always have butter or peanut butter on toast? Not only does it lose it's novelty, but you're missing out on a key macronutrient - protein!

Read below for a list of some of our favourite protein-packed toppings to put on your toast!
