HEALTH

Don't have time in the morning to fix yourself a proper breakfast or lunch? We've got you! Here is a slick recipe that is healthy and takes less than 15 minutes: Crunchy toast with turmeric mushrooms, spinach, and toasted almonds.

The recipe is vegan, and by using the right type of bread, it could be gluten-free too. We used sourdough bread instead of the classic one, but feel free to pick your favourite! You could even make it yourself with our tasty pumpkin sourdough loaf recipe.

What you'll get here is a little of everything your body needs to be happy and productive:

  • Fibres and carbs from whole-wheat bread to keep you energized for longer

  • Proteins and iron from sauteed spinach and mushrooms

  • Precious antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds from turmeric

  • Healthy fats and extra crunch from the almonds

You can pair the toast with a piece of fruit or a smoothie for a perfectly balanced breakfast. Check out our selection of healthy drinks for inspiration. Or store it in lunch-box and have it later; it's tasty eaten cold as well.

Tips

  • Try adding a pinch of chilli flakes to the mushrooms for a spicy kick.

  • We have used shiitake mushrooms for their intense flavour and meaty texture, but you can use any type of mushrooms you like. Good options include portabella, wild, or king oyster mushrooms.

  • Our bodies can't make the most of the awesome benefits of turmeric without a little help from black pepper. So make sure to season the mushrooms with a good sprinkle of cracked pepper. A special compound called piperine helps curcumin to get absorbed from the digestive system more easily and stay for longer in our system[1].
