Ingredients

Whole grain toast

Choose a whole grain toast for some extra filling fiber and protein. My absolute favorite is Dave’s Killer Bread Thin-Sliced Variety, but you can use any bread that you like!

Vanilla Greek yogurt

A couple of spoonfuls of vanilla Greek yogurt adds protein and creamy sweetness to this strawberry toast. For sugar-free, I love the Two Good Vanilla Greek yogurt. If you prefer one without artificial sweeteners, the Fage Total Blended Vanilla or Chobani Less Sugar Vanilla are both delicious options as well.

Strawberries

Strawberries are a great addition to any meal or snack. They’re high fiber and high in antioxidants too (1).

Honey

A teeny drizzle of honey is all you need to really bring out the sweetness of this strawberry toast. You can omit this ingredient if you prefer to keep the recipe sugar-free, but you truly only need a little.

How to Make Toast with Strawberries and Honey

1. Toast your bread to your preferred level of doneness. Let cool for 1-2 minutes while you slice your strawberries.
2. Spread 2-3 tbsp of Greek yogurt on each slice of toast. Top with strawberries.
3. Drizzle each slice of toast with strawberries with honey. Optional: Sprinkle with some hemp, flax or chia seeds! Enjoy!

Variations and Swaps

• Use cottage cheese instead of Greek yogurt for an equally high protein toast topper.
• Use a high protein cream cheese, like this one instead of Greek yogurt.
• Use blueberries, raspberries or blackberries instead of strawberries.
• Drizzle with peanut butter instead of honey.
• Use a plant-based Greek yogurt like this one and skip the honey to make this vegan-friendly.
• Other yogurt toast combination ideas:
  • Sliced bananas with a drizzle of almond butter
  • Blueberries with a sprinkle of pumpkin seeds
  • Raspberries with a sprinkle of hemp seeds
  • Blackberries with a drizzle of honey and a squeeze of lemon
• To serve as a snack, keep the recipe as is!
• To serve as a complete and balanced breakfast, just have a bit more Greek yogurt on the side or serve with a side of protein, like eggs.
