There are nutritional perks, Brown explained, to incorporating a protein or healthy fat to your toast.
\"Adding protein, fat and fiber to your toast helps slow the digestion and absorption of the carbohydrates, resulting in more stable blood sugar levels instead of a quick spike and crash. The protein, fat and fiber found in toppings like Greek yogurt, nut butter, or granola, also keep you full for longer than just had plain toast with jam,\" she said.
But not all breads are created equal, so make sure to read the ingredients on the label when you shop.
\"If you're not gluten free, be sure to choose a bread that's made with whole grains and no added sugar.\"
'Drippy' almond butter and more sweet and savory toppings
Toasts with \"drippy\" almond butter and figs are some of Brown's favorite combinations.

She's also a fan of coconut, almond butter and even putting a sugar-free almond butter fudge cup on toast. \"The best part is it takes longer to even think of what you want to add to your toast than make it,\" she said.

Almost too beautiful to eat
If you're looking to up your Instagram likes, try making your own artistic toasts. Like this one with plain pink-colored cream cheese and radishes, bananas, kiwis, strawberries, cucumbers and sesame seeds, from Anita Hovind Ulven of Norway, who shares her culinary creations on her account that are almost too beautiful to eat.
\"This hobby is helping me eat healthier,\" she told \"GMA.\" \"The fun thing is trying new combinations.\"
Toast alternatives: Rice cakes or swap for sweet potato
Health and wellness coach Sarah Rose Suchoff, who shares her healthy eats on @srslydelicious, loves to mix it up by using sweet potato \"toasts\" in sweet and savory combinations.
\"Sweet potato toasts are super versatile and fun to mix and match flavors with,\" said Suchoff, adding the mix of nut butter with banana and coconut flakes, organic spinach, smoked salmon and an egg or nut butter with organic strawberries and raw cacao nibs. . \"Why choose between sweet and savory when you can have both!\"
Or mix it up and use a rice cake or sweet potato instead of bread. Brown pairs almond butter with bee pollen on a rice cake as a healthy snack.
