This “recipe” is so easy that it hardly can be called a recipe, but it’s something I have at least once a week and always gets a great reaction on my social media. So, I thought that I’d finally write down a proper recipe and method and take some photos to be able to add it to my breakfast and brunch recipes online. These Protein Yoghurt Breakfast Toast 4 Ways are highly versatile so if you don’t have the ingredients mentioned, you can change them to suit what you do have to hand.

Before we get to the ingredients, you may be thinking that yoghurt on toast is a little weird. And I do agree that it may sound strange, but once you’d tried it, you won’t go back (I hope). I love toast and I love yoghurt bowls for breakfast, so this is the best of both worlds for me. Imagine if you were to curate your favourite yoghurt, fruit, granola, nut butter bowl combination and then serve it on your favourite toasted bread… then you can picture what these Protein Yoghurt Breakfast Toast 4 Ways taste like.

This post highlights just 4 ways to serve these toasts using 2 different flavoured yoghurts:

• Vegan yoghurt: my favourite to use is coconut as it’s really thought but any yoghurt like soya, almond etc will work here. The thickness of the yoghurt will affect how much milk you add.
• Protein powder: this is where the thickness and flavour come from. I know that not everyone is a fan of protein powders, so I have included options below for vanilla essence and cacao powder to have the same flavours and textures, too. You can always skip this step entirely and use flavoured yogurts. I used the Vegan Vanilla and Vegan Salted Caramel Chocolate from Awesome Supplements for these (save 10% with code NOURISHINGAMY10 – not affiliate).
• Plant-based milk: anything you have open, this is to thin out the yoghurt mix, if needed, to reach a spreadable consistency.
• Your favourite bread: nothing beats a good loaf of bread, so make sure you use your favourite here to make these Protein Yoghurt Breakfast Toast 4 Ways the tastiest they can be. I like rye or sourdough, but any will work.

That’s the base of these Protein Yoghurt Breakfast Toast 4 Ways and now we talk toppings aka the fun part! I love to add any number of fruits, granolas, nut butters etc and you can really go all out of keep it minimal depending on your mood. Pictured here are 4 ideas:

• Raspberry jam and molasses: on vanilla protein yoghurt. You can use any jam and use syrup instead of molasses if you like. Also, some pomegranates are great on top.
• Almond butter: on chocolate protein yoghurt. This is a real winner and so indulgent! I also add on some chia seeds for crunch.
• Chocolate squares: on vanilla yoghurt. This is perhaps the most “indulgent” of them all and I also add on some cacao nibs. I love how the chocolate melts from the heat of the toast.
• Strawberry and warmed blueberries: on chocolate protein yoghurt with pomegranate. Chocolate and berries are a great combination. Just slice the strawberries and warm the blueberries until they burst and are juicy.

Once you’ve topped your Protein Yoghurt Breakfast Toast 4 Ways as you please, simple enjoy with a cup of tea or coffee for breakfast or brunch or as a snack.
