What is your favorite toast topping?

1. Avocado Toast with Flax

Slice and mash about 1/4 to 1/2 of an avocado. Spread it on a slice of toast. Top with Everything But the Bagel Seasoning (crushed red pepper or chili powder would taste great too if you like spice!). Finish it off with a few pinches of milled flaxseed.

2. Strawberry Flax Spread

Milled flaxseed can be used as a natural thickener to make homemade jams or fruit toppings. All you need is strawberries, milled flaxseed, and a dash of pure maple syrup.

3. Classic Peanut Butter Toast (with flax)

If you’re a fan of milled flaxseed, you probably know about its ability to absorb liquid. This works well to make vegan flax eggs and works to help bind recipes such as burgers or meatballs (try these salmon patties).

This also works to absorb the excess liquid that rises to the top of a jar of natural peanut butter. Learn more and get the recipe here.

4. Creamy Pesto Spread

This creamy homemade pesto includes a large scoop of milled flaxseed to aid in the creamy consistency and nutrition profile.

Lather it on a slice of hearty, whole grain toast, top with sliced tomatoes and a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese.

5. Roasted Garlic Hummus

Toast doesn’t have to be just for breakfast. Try this Roasted Garlic Hummus as a dip or on toasted naan bread for a snack or appetizer.
