One of the greatest pleasures in the summer is sinking your teeth into a ripe, red strawberry, or a tart and juicy peach. Summer fruits are terrific on their own, but taste amazing as a toast topping, too.

Have you ever tried it? This fresh fruit toast is a simple and satisfying way to give your breakfast a little bit of flair.

Metabolism-Boosting Fruit Toast Combos

These four variations give you a balanced breakfast that will rev up your metabolism too. You might remember from previous posts that the perfect formula for keeping your metabolism humming is pairing whole grain carbs + protein or healthy fats + fruits or vegetables.

These 4 fruit toast recipes all stick to that formula and they are totally effortless to make--because we all need something easy in the morning... And you know what? Kids will love them, too. That's always a win if you ask me.

Strawberries + cream cheese

Cream cheese and strawberries are rich with antioxidants and calcium, making it an excellent everyday staple. Sprinkle a little cinnamon over the top for even more metabolism-revving power and to add a little spice to your breakfast.

Almond Butter + Banana

I personally love the almond butter and banana combination. The sweetness of the bananas balances with the nutty almond butter flavor, and it's a great source of potassium to keep your muscles strong and maintain your body's fluid balance on hot summer days.

Green apple + hummus

Did you know that green apples and hummus are actually a killer flavor combo? Don't knock it until you try it! And think about how much Vitamin C you get with every bite!

(If you're making your hummus from scratch, don't be afraid to get a little heavy-handed with the lemon—it's the secret to delicious hummus! Trust me.)

Peaches + yogurt

Also, don't just keep your peaches and Greek yogurt limited to a bowl; smear that goodness on a crunchy piece of whole grain toast! The protein, fiber, and probiotics in each bite keep you satisfied all morning, and help maintain excellent gut health.

Greek yogurt is my go-to breakfast staple because it keeps me full for hours. And serving it on toast is a great way to change it up.

10 More Easy Ingredient Combos to Upgrade Toast

Even though you can throw on whatever you please, sometimes you need a little inspiration and that's where this list comes in. Here are some of my favorites:

1. Banana + Almond Butter + Chia Seeds

Between the almond butter and chia seeds, this toast delivers the protein, fiber and healthy fats you need to fuel your morning.

2. Apples + Pecans + Gorgonzola + Honey

Salty cheese is balanced out by the sweetness of apples and honey--with chopped pecans added for a bit of crunch.

3. Brie + Strawberries + Balsamic Vinegar

Balsamic vinegar is so good when paired with berries. If you have the time, roast the strawberries first and sprinkle some freshly ground pepper over the toast before serving.

4. Butter + Radishes + Sea Salt

This combination has been everywhere lately, and with good reason: it's simple and delicious.

5. Pesto + Parmesan Cheese + Walnuts

If you're craving something savory, this toast is sure to please.

6. Ricotta Cheese + Blueberries + Almonds + Honey

While this toast might taste like dessert, it's full of protein, fiber and antioxidants, so you can snack on it guilt-free.

7. Mashed Peas + Chopped Mint

Leftover veggies from last night's dinner make a fantastic topping for toast, especially when paired with fresh herbs.

8. Tomato + Avocado + Basil

We couldn't leave out avocado toast, could we? Heirloom tomatoes are in season for just a little while longer and this simple ingredient combination really lets them shine.

9. Cream Cheese + Berries + Basil

Basil adds a little bit of sophistication to the classic combination of berries and cream cheese.

10. Hummus + Walnuts + Pomegranate

This Mediterranean-inspired toast is perfect for an afternoon snack--it's filling enough to keep you satisfied, but not so filling that you won't have an appetite for dinner.
