Adding this unusual item to your toast makes it 'healthy and filling'

Toast can get boring but with one simple addition, you can upgrade your breakfast and make it a deliciously healthy and sweet start to your day. While this secret ingredient might seem a bit unusual, it’s a great way to change things up and could be a real upgrade. According to Real Life Nutritionist, adding Greek yoghurt to your toast can be a delicious healthy topping.

Adding Greek yogurt to your toast might mean you never go back to just plain butter. The yoghurt is high in protein, super easy, and a great fit for everybody, says the food expert.

It suggests adding the yoghurt to your toast with blackberries and sliced almonds or with strawberry chia jam and peanut butter.

But if these aren't to your taste, you can always try sliced banana and pomegranate seeds or for a more savoury option, by adding sliced tomato, olive oil, salt and pepper instead.

Toast is a popular breakfast food due to it being quick and easy to make while also being affordable.

But it can get boring everyday with just butter or jam… By adding Greek yoghurt and some berries or seeds, you can add some extra nutrients and protein to your meal meaning you’ll stay fuller for longer.

If you’re a fan of a sweet breakfast but also want your meal to leave you feeling satiated, this combination could be the perfect first meal of the day for you.

Greek yogurt is made by straining the liquid whey from regular yogurt, resulting in a denser and creamier texture.

It has almost double the protein, triple the saturated fat, half the sodium, and half the carbohydrates of regular yogurt.

According to BBC Good Food, benefits of Greek yoghurt include that it fuels good gut bacteria, it may support immunity, it can aid muscle recovery after exercise and that it may benefit heart health.

It has also been associated with reducing the risk of type two diabetes and may improve mood.

BBC Good Food adds: “The beneficial bacteria found in fermented foods, including yogurt, may support immunity.

“It does this in a number of ways – firstly by increasing the production of immune cells like natural killer cells, strengthening the lining of the gut and inhibiting the growth of harmful strains of bacteria.”
