A perfect vegan, mediterranean breakfast: Whole grain toast topped with hummus, red pepper strips and a sprinkle of pine nuts

Whole grain toast with hummus

Tahini and red peppers are a perfect combination. Hummus, a traditional dip/spread made with tahini (sesame paste) and chickpeas, is the perfect high protein topping you need for a savory breakfast.

This breakfast is a great source of protein, fiber and vitamins thanks to it’s ingredients. The addition of pine nuts adds that extra crunch and more antioxidants.

If you don’t have hummus on hand, I suggest you use tahini. Just mix it with a teaspoon of water and a bit of lemon juice and spread it on your bread.
