Nessy's Note

Toast is a breakfast that I never tire of. With the right toppings, like you might find on my cottage cheese pizza toast, it always hits the spot!

This almond butter banana toast is one of my go-to combos. It's simple, yet satisfying and the perfect mix of fruity and nutty.

Like my smoked salmon avocado toast, it is proof that toast is anything but boring.

And with a few easy sides (I share my favorite ideas below), you can turn it into a balanced, filling breakfast that keeps you full all morning.

• Sprouted Grain Bread- I typically opt for sprouted grain breads as they often contain more micronutrients, protein and fiber than other breads but use whatever you prefer.
• Almond Butter- Crunchy or smooth will work.
  • Substitution: Feel free to make this toast with another nut or seed butter. Peanut butter banana toast is also a delicious combo!
• Banana- Use a banana that is as ripe as you like best. I personally prefer it to be yellow with just a few brown spots (which is what I use for banana chia overnight oats too) but you do you.
• Fine Sea Salt- I find that just a pinch really brings the flavor together but feel free to skip it.

My Tips for Almond Butter Banana Toast

• Use the banana ripeness you love. I personally prefer my bananas yellow with just a couple of spots, and that's what I use for my breakfast banana split, but this toast will taste best to you depending on how you most like bananas.
• Make it satisfying. Pair your toast with a source of protein and fiber (see some ideas in the notes of the recipe card) to turn it into a filling, balanced breakfast that keeps you full all morning long.
