High Protein Green Goddess Toast

December 6, 2021 by val dolbel

High Protein Green Goddess Toast

If I had my own cafe, there’s no doubt that this toast would be the menu’s star. It’s loaded with protein, healthy fats, essential nutrients and antioxidants to satisfy your cravings and keep you full.

I go back to this recipe whenever I don’t feel like cooking anything complex but still want a balanced meal. It makes a perfect breakfast or lunch giving you that fancy restaurant toast vibe.

For my toast, I like to choose freshly baked sourdough or gluten-free bread, depending on what’s available on the day. For the textures to combine nicely, make sure your avocado is ripe, and tofu has been drained. I buy edamame beans frozen, so it’s easy to prepare. I air-fried them to make them extra soft in this recipe, but you could also boil them.

Sourdough, avocado, tofu, nutritional yeast, edamame and tahini are high in protein, making this toast an excellent meal for someone trying to build muscle or control their sugar levels. Also, high protein foods supply amino acids required for collagen production, and with this combination of ingredients, you’ll get a plentiful supply. In addition, all these ingredients and other spices used in the recipe are full of healthful phytonutrients to nourish your body from head to toe! This recipe is a must-try!

INGREDIENTS:

For the toast:

2 slices sourdough bread (toasted)

1 ripe avocado

1 cup of lettuces 

1 block of white medium firm organic tofu (drained)

1 tsp paprika

1 tsp turmeric

1 tsp pepper

1 tsp garlic powder

2 tsp salt

2 tbsp nutritional yeast

100 g frozen edamame

For garnish:

2 tbsp tahini

1 tbsp soy sauce or coconut aminos

A bunch of any sprouts

Serves 1-2 people

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Place tofu in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out the water. Next, place tofu in a bowl and crush it with a fork to create a scrambled egg consistency.
  2. Add olive oil to a hot pan followed by red bell pepper. Season it with turmeric, paprika, salt, pepper and nutritional yeast. Add a tiny amount of plant-based milk if the consistency is too dry.
  3. Turn off the stove once you get scrambled egg-like consistency and put tofu aside.
  4. Mash the avocado in a bowl with the fork. Add garlic powder, paprika and salt.
  5. Place defrosted edamame in the air-fryer, fry until soft.
  6. Prepare the tahini dressing by mixing tahini paste with some soy sauce and clean water.
  7. Toast the bread slices.
  8. Place the toasted bread slices on a plate. Scoop the avocado mixture onto toasted bread. Next, place washed and dried lettuces. Then layer with some scrambled tofu with edamame on top. Garnish with tahini sauce and crunchy sprouts. Enjoy!

Do you want to start the new week the right way wi Do you want to start the new week the right way with a high-protein breakfast that won’t spike your blood glucose?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As promised, today I’m sharing with you another delicious savoury breakfast idea to keep your blood glucose steady to prevent unwanted breakouts and cravings during the day.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Scramble tofu is one of my favourite hassle-free breakfasts that is not only full of protein but also many essential nutrients to nourish your body and soul!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The secret of delicious scrambled tofu is in spices! Adding turmeric, black pepper and nutritional yeast will make your tofu taste irresistible. If you want to take it to another level, add black salt! Black salt will give your tofu the eggy taste, which many people prefer. Top up your tofu scramble with some sprouts or fresh herbs paired with sourdough bread, and here you have a super nutritious, high-protein breakfast to kick start the week! #beautydiets
Did you know that you can supercharge your mushroo Did you know that you can supercharge your mushrooms for a Vitamin D boost? Researchers found that exposing mushrooms to sunlight for 15 minutes significantly increased their Vitamin D levels. Like when humans are exposed to sunlight or sunlamp, mushrooms convert ergosterol, a provitamin form of vitamin D, into Vitamin D2, essential for a range of bodily functions in humans.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
An evaluation of random controlled trials showed that UV-exposed mushrooms effectively increase active vitamin D levels and studies show that it is just as effective as supplements. Another way of getting enough Vitamin D is through sun exposure. Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to psoriasis and skin rashes, but too much sun leads to accelerated skin ageing, so tan your mushrooms, not skin! #beautydiets
Are you a porridge person? This one is for you!👇🏻
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
From one of my previous posts, we learnt that a savoury breakfast is a better option if you want to avoid blood sugar spikes. But does it mean that you can't enjoy your favourite sweet porridge for breakfast anymore? 🤔
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Absolutely not! 🤩
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Follow these simple steps when making your breakfast porridge to avoid glucose spike:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. Pick whole grains like oats, quinoa, buckwheat or amaranth. Choose steel-cut oats over instant or rolled oats, as steel-cut oats are less processed and would have less effect on your blood sugar.
2. Add extra fibre to your porridge to prevent glucose from being absorbed too quickly. I like to add chia seeds, hemp seeds or psyllium husk.
3. Add protein and fat. You can mix in your favourite protein powder into the porridge or add some nuts, coconut yoghurt, tahini or nut butter.
4. Use your favourite fruit as a natural sweetener! Add berries, sauteed apple or fresh mango, it's up to you! If you are really concerned about sugar spikes, then it would be best to avoid adding dried fruit and sugary syrups.
5. Add cinnamon - it's full of antioxidants and can improve insulin sensitivity.
6. Enjoy! A porridge that is high in protein and fibre with a good amount of healthy fats should not cause a glucose spike, protecting your health! #beautydiets
