I’m a sucker for fresh fruit, especially for breakfast. This goes back to when I was a kid. When I was younger I was a very picky eater. Breakfast was always the hardest meal for me to find something I liked to eat. Fruit became my go-to in the morning.

My all time favourite fruit for breakfast has always been cantaloupe. As long as I can remember cantaloupe has graced my breakfast plate. My family and friends know if they swing by for breakfast there will be cantaloupe on the table.

While it may be my favourite, I’m an equal opportunity fruit eater. Raspberries, blueberries, apples, watermelon, oranges, and every other sweet fruit on the planet are enjoyed year round in our household.

Loblaws is a great place to pick up fresh fruit and everything else you need for a fabulous breakfast. The theme for this campaign is “Eat How You Want to Feel”. You can peruse their Loblaws Dieticians page for lots of great information.

My regular readers know we’ve been battling the flu at our house the past few weeks. My daughter was hospitalized for pneumonia. She is okay now, thank goodness. They ran I.V. fluids, antibiotics, and pain meds while she was there.

As we have all started to slowly recuperate our cravings have all leaned towards fresh fruit. There’s something about bright, sunny, fresh fruit that makes you feel so much better. Lots of vitamin C and healthy antioxidants are a must.

So, when I thought about the theme it just made sense to me. I want to feel light, vibrant, fresh, and like spring is on its way. Add that to the fact that all we’ve been wanting to eat is toast and this post just came together very organically.

I decided to whip up some breakfast toast for all of us. I was not satisfied to only make one kind so I decided to make 4 different varieties. It’s just how I roll, even when I’m sick. Simple is never simple in my house. I like variety.

We had picked up some fruit and bread at Loblaws earlier that week. We had cantaloupe, blueberries, raspberries, and apples in the fridge. We also had lots of nuts in the pantry. Fruit and nuts are always on hand in our house. It’s a must.

My goal was to make a recipe anyone could make in a few minutes. We all need more quick and easy recipes in our lives. I’m a big fan of recipes that can be made in under 20 minutes. This recipe only takes a few minutes. Score!

I used cream cheese for this recipe but you can swap that out for goat cheese, ricotta, mascarpone, or even almond butter. Be creative and think outside the box. Pair things that appeal to your own taste buds. Make the recipe your own.

Never be afraid to put your own spin on a recipe. Honestly, it’s how you learn to become a better cook. It’s also how you learn what flavours you love and which ones are not for you. Experimenting in the kitchen is so important.

The first recipe is Breakfast Toast with Apples, Pecans, and Honey. Apples are chock full of fiber and they are also known to boost your immune system. Which was super important to us right now. I added pecans and honey for an extra boost of flavour.

The second recipe is Breakfast Toast with Blueberries, Coconut Chips, and Honey. Blueberries are high in antioxidants and are incredibly heart healthy. I paired them with coconut and honey for a serious crunch with a hint of sweetness.

The third recipe is Breakfast Toast with Cantaloupe, Pistachios, and Honey. Cantaloupe is amazing for people like me who have IBS. It aids in digestion and hydration, plus it helps with inflammation. I paired it with pistachios and honey.

The fourth recipe is Breakfast Toast with Raspberries, Coconut, and Honey. Raspberries are rich in antioxidants, plus high in fiber and rich in vitamin C. I paired them with toasted coconut and honey for added flavour.

We enjoyed every last bite of these Breakfast Toast Recipes. After 4 weeks of the flu and pneumonia running rampant, it was so nice to get back in the kitchen and create something for my readers. I missed working so much.

Luckily these Breakfast Toast Recipes are super easy to make and incredibly quick as well. That worked well for me since my energy level is not quite what it should be. I’m all about easy recipes right now.
