Looking for a unique way to break your regular eating routine on the weekends?

Brunch is the perfect meal to enjoy a combination of sweet and savory flavors without compromising your health. Here are three brunch favorites that you can enjoy guilt-free!

Ricotta Toast Bar

Instead of a taco or salad bar, make a ricotta toast bar and combine these ingredients to make all three savory and sweet favorites featured in the video!

Why's it Healthy?

Whole Milk Ricotta is a healthy option that doesn't include gums, thickeners, or fillers. It's packed with natural protein and healthy fat. The Ezekiel bread is flourless and made from sprouted grains, providing natural fiber that protects blood sugar from spiking. And by adding raspberries (or blackberries), you get the highest-fiber berries that provide enough nutrition for a complete meal!

Ingredients (serves two):

1 cup full-fat whole milk ricotta
4 slices of Ezekiel or sprouted grain, flourless bread

3 Types of Toppings:

#1 - Sweet & Simple

Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Balsamic Vinegar
Salt & Pepper

#2 - Savory Basil & Tomato

Cherry Tomatoes (sliced in half)
Salt & Pepper
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Fresh Basil

#3 - Wow! Is this Dessert?

Fresh Raspberries
Fresh Mint
Balsamic Vinegar

Directions:

Toast slices of bread until golden brown.
Whip the ricotta in a food processor for 1-2 minutes or until very smooth and creamy.
Top toast with ricotta.
Add preferred toppings.
