healthy persimmon toast

I love using fresh fruit to toast. Not only does it taste great, it also eliminates the processed sugar that I would have consumed from the jam I probably would have smothered my toast with.

This is a very easy, simple treat which I just had to share.

Freshly sliced persimmon and vegan greek style yoghurt (or vegan cream cheese) on a slice of toasted sourdough.

Finished with a dusting of cinnamon and a few hemp seeds.

SO delicious!

PERSIMMON.

Using a fruit such as persimmon is a great option as they have a honey-like flavour and better yet they are an excellent source of antioxidants and are loaded with nutrients such as Vitamin A, Vitamin C and Manganese.

Other great fruit options are strawberries, blueberries or even apple slices.

YOGHURT OR CREAM CHEESE.

Use a thick, unsweetened yoghurt or a vegan cream cheese as the base.

A greek-style none-dairy yoghurt is my preferred choice, just make sure it is unsweetened or sugar-free.

BREAD.

I recommend using a wholegrain or sourdough bread to increase the fibre intake.

TO FINISH.

Dust with ground cinnamon and finish with a sprinkle of hemp seeds for extra protein.
