Is toast a healthy breakfast?

It depends.  Toast made from white bread is high on the glycemic index.  This raises your blood sugar, unhealthy for anyone and especially for diabetics.  White bread and butter offer no nutritional value.

Build a healthy toast breakfast by combining high-fiber bread with protein and healthy fat.  This winning nutrient combo stabilizes your blood sugar and tastes better! 

What can you put on toast besides butter? 

If we aren’t doing bread and butter, what are other things to eat with toast?  Glad you asked.  DishQuo’s meal planning app has several low-mid glycemic index toast options.   Instead of spreading butter, try Greek yogurt, hummus, low sugar nut butter or avocado.  Top it off with fruit, roasted vegetables or eggs.
