Ingredients
  

  • 2 slices whole-grain or sprouted bread (thick-cut works best)
  • 3–4 tablespoons natural peanut butter (stirred well)
  • 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt or skyr (for extra protein)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 small banana or 1/2 cup berries, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds, hemp hearts, or ground flaxseed
  • 1/2 scoop unflavored or vanilla protein powder (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • Pinch of flaky salt
  • Optional extras: cacao nibs, crushed peanuts, pumpkin seeds, or a drizzle of melted dark chocolate

Method
 

  1. Toast the bread: Use medium-high heat so the slices turn crisp and golden. A sturdy toast helps hold toppings without collapsing.
  2. Mix the protein boost: In a small bowl, stir together the peanut butter and Greek yogurt. If using protein powder, whisk it in now. Add a splash of water or milk if it feels too thick to spread.
  3. Season for flavor: Stir in cinnamon and a tiny pinch of salt. If you like a hint of sweetness, add honey or maple syrup.
  4. Spread generously: Divide the peanut butter mixture between the two slices and spread to the edges. This gives every bite a creamy, protein-rich base.
  5. Add fruit: Top with sliced banana or scatter berries for freshness and natural sweetness.
  6. Finish with crunch: Sprinkle chia seeds, hemp hearts, or ground flaxseed. Add cacao nibs or crushed peanuts if you want a little extra texture.
  7. Final touch: Add a light pinch of flaky salt to make the flavors pop. If you’re feeling fancy, a thin drizzle of melted dark chocolate is great here.
  8. Serve right away: Eat while the toast is still warm and crisp.
