5 healthy toast toppings

You can still enjoy a slice of toast without smothering it in butter. Try our five healthy toppings for toast, crumpets or rice cakes, and enjoy a tasty snack without harming your heart.

1. Avocado

Give cheese on toast a miss and instead use sliced or mashed avocado to top wholegrain toast or crumpets. This quick snack is rich in unsaturated, rather than saturated, fats. Try a sprinkle of seeds or chilli flakes for an extra kick.

2. Mashed or sliced banana

If you love sweet toppings or you’re very hungry, mashed or sliced banana is a delicious and filling addition to crumpets or toast, without adding free sugars. Sprinkle with a little cinnamon or seeds for extra flavour.

3. Berries and low-fat Greek yoghurt

For a healthier twist on the traditional cream tea, try topping warm scones with strawberries, blackberries or blueberries and a dollop of low-fat Greek yoghurt. It’s great on wholegrain toast, too!

4. Pure nut butters

Nut butters, such as almond or peanut, are a versatile topping and are good on their own or combined with fresh fruit. Check the ingredients and choose the ones made only from nuts, without added salt, sugar or palm oil. If you have a food processor, you can blend your favourite unsalted nuts until smooth. Decorate with your favourite fruit, or with grated carrot to keep it savoury.

5. Chia and berry ‘jam’

Simple to make: soak around 20g of chia seeds in four tablespoons of water, mix with 150g of your favourite berries or cherries, then blend. Decant into a jar or bowl, cover and refrigerate. The seeds provide protein without the added sugar that you usually get in jam.

Is it healthier to not toast bread?

The longer the toasting typically means the more harmful chemicals in the bread. That said, the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition found toasting bread does have one health benefit. It lowers the glycemic index, so it is less likely than regular bread to spike blood sugar.

wfmynews2.com - VERIFY: Sorry, Toasting Bread Will Not Lower Calorie Count

You ask; we VERIFY. Toasting bread will not lower calorie count, though it does have one health benefit pertaining to sugar.

Example video title will go here for this video

GREENSBORO, N.C. — White or wheat...plain or toasted? Questions abound in the bread aisle at the supermarket or in the lunchtime rush at the local sandwich joint.

VERIFY QUESTION

Good Morning Show viewer Cindy Everhart asked, "Silly question. My husband says toasting bread lowers calorie count. Please VERIFY, thanks. I say false. Hope I'm right."

Livestrong

European Study of Clinical Nutrition

Melanie Jones, RD, Novant Health

VERIFY PROCESS

Clinical dietitian Melanie Jones, RD said the answer to Everhart's question is false. "Toasting bread does not change the composition of the bread. So, unfortunately, no, it does not reduce the calorie content. It may, [however], change the flavor!" Livestrong's nutrition blog further explains toasting bread increases the amount of the chemical acrylamide, which the America Cancer Society links to cancer. The longer the toasting typically means the more harmful chemicals in the bread. That said, the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition found toasting bread does have one health benefit. It lowers the glycemic index, so it is less likely than regular bread to spike blood sugar.

VERIFY CONCLUSION

Toasting bread does not lower calorie count. If you want to toast your bread, lightly toast it. Don't burn it, as that can be harmful. Do you have a VERIFY inquiry? Submit a post or selfie video to Meghann Mollerus via:
