Who doesn’t like toast for breakfast now and then? While grain-based toast is not a staple for us at breakfast time, we get the urge to have it every so often. If you’re a mama who loves toast in the morning, you can learn to include it in a way that still allows you to have good control over your weight. We don’t suggest making a habit of eating toast with jelly (even all fruit jelly) every morning. It’s important to keep in mind that high protein breakfasts help control carb cravings for the remainder of the day and help you start your day with stable blood sugar. Research proves over and over again that those who eat high protein for breakfast, such as eggs, get better weight loss results and think less about their upcoming meal or snack. This recipe is a way to eat whole grain toast with balance. Mozzarella and Turkey Toast can be found on page 239 of the original Trim Healthy Mama book.

Remember to not eat more than two pieces of toast in one sitting. That would not be E for energizing. It would be O for overindulgence or F for failure. Sorry, we are only being cruel to be kind. Even when eating an occasional Crossover meal, if you have a high metabolism and need to live mostly on Crossovers, you should never eat more than two pieces of bread at a time. If two pieces of grain toast don’t fill you up, add a whey protein smoothie E style with glucomannan or a half cup of Greek style low-fat yogurt. You’ll get further “full” mileage. If grain-based toast is the basis of your breakfast, you can’t eat a lot of fat with it. Don’t pile the butter on your toast! But, don’t worry, we have plenty of creative and yummy options to put on your grain toast.
