Nut butters on toast with...

Wonder if mung bean sprouts are as good as alfalfa sprouts with peanut butter on toast. Answer: no. #early

I looove peanut butter and alfalfa sprouts on toast. As I've been sprouting mung beans lately, I thought I'd try the "recipe" with mung bean sprouts instead. It's not as good, yet not as bad as you might think. Still, the rest of my toast got the almond butter and marmalade treatment. And it was good.

It's also worth noting that it's stupid early for breakfast. But then again, I woke up stupid early. This may have consequences on various aspects of my day.

Toast with almond butter on one half, PB on the other. Served with alfalfa sprouts, banana and a mimosa. Weird but satisfying combo.

Toast with Nut Butter and Sprouts

Nut butter and sprouts on toast

I love peanut butter & alfalfa sprouts on toast, always with a little pinch of salt. Here, I tried half peanut butter, half almond butter. Both were good but the peanut butter wins. Bread is homemade sourdough made with a bit of rye flour, the perfect flavour for these toppings.

Banana cocoa protein smoothie and toast with PB and pumpkin butter

Toast and a smoothie

Fuel for a 7.5 mile walk in the Cotswolds. This kept me going all morning long. (Those smoothies are VERY filling - and even more so with a heavily PB'd slice of toast on the side!) 

PB and Pumpkin butter on toast. Grazie.

Broccoli & Split Pea Soup

Another epic omelet

 

  • Breakfast: Toast with peanut butter, banana and pear
  • Lunch: Broccoli and split pea soup (a variation on 101 Cookbooks' Vegetarian Split Pea Soup where I simply added broccoli and blitzed the soup in the blender - really yummy)
  • Dinner: Yes, it really is an omelet - with broccoli, tomato, red onion, garlic, parmesan, truffle oil and balsamic; served with salad, toast and avocado
