Ingredients
- 2 slices whole-grain bread
- 2 tablespoons low-fat cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons mixed berry no-sugar-added jam
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds
- 4 leaves fresh mint leaves
Directions
Step 1
Start by toasting the whole-grain bread slices until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a toaster or oven set to medium heat, which should take about 3 to 5 minutes.
Step 2
While the bread is toasting, allow the low-fat cream cheese to come to room temperature if it's been refrigerated. This will make spreading it easier.
Step 3
Once the bread is toasted, immediately spread 1 tablespoon of low-fat cream cheese evenly over each slice of bread.
Step 4
Spoon 1 tablespoon of mixed berry no-sugar-added jam over the cream cheese on each slice. Gently spread the jam to create a layer over the cream cheese.
Step 5
Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of chia seeds evenly over both slices of toast. Chia seeds add a boost of omega-3 fatty acids, beneficial for heart health.
Step 6
Garnish each toast slice with a couple of fresh mint leaves for a refreshing flavor and visual appeal.
Step 7
Serve immediately and enjoy a heart-healthy start to your day or a nourishing snack!
