butter-alternativesButter is goooooooooood.

Hey, even Time magazine is recommending we eat butter (the real stuff, not the plasticized oil we called margarine).

But we all need a change sometimes.

Read to try something new?

I’ve put together a list of 8 alternatives to butter to spread on your bread/toast.

They’re healthy and delicious.

If you have any more ideas, please let me know in the comment section below.

8 Butter Alternatives

.

hummus(1) HUMMUS

Made from chick peas, hummus is delicious.

It’s healthy and you can pick up a full-fat or low-fat version depending on your dietary needs and goals.

.

cream-cheese(2) CREAM CHEESE

Spread some cream cheese over toast for a tasty snack. The bonus is that it is high in protein.

Also try Quark. Quark is a fat-free, carb-free cream cheese. About 25g protein per little pot.

quarkI buy this one. It’s like spreading protein on your toast.

Oh and by the way, it makes a GREAT filling for a baked potato!

.

(3) COTTAGE CHEESE

cottage-cheeseSimilar to the above.

Cottage cheese is a staple in virtually every bodybuilder’s diet.

Spread some liquid protein on that toast!

.

(4) PEANUT BUTTERpeanut-butter

NATURAL peanut butter that is.

Not the supermarket trans-fat type.

You know it’s natural if there’s a layer of oil floating on top.

High in protein, good fats, and unbelievably tasty – what more do you want?

.

(5) AVOCADOavocado

A healthy spread with great fats.

Personally, not my cup of tea, but some people love it.

.

guacamole(6) GUACAMOLE

A low GI, healthy spread for your toast.

Yes I know that guacamole is made from avocado, but the addition of other ingredients makes a world of difference in taste in my opinion.

I love guacamole – especially the chunky type!

.Banana-on-Toast

(7) BANANA

If you’re on a high-carb diet, or carbing up as part of a CKD like the MANS diet, this is PERFECT!

Tip: Try sprinkling a little cinnamon on top…I’m drooling here 😛

.

(8) SLICED EGG

eggs-on-toastNot so much a spread, but a sliced boiled egg (with a slightly runny yolk) on toast is delectable.

You could go scrambled here, but it’s not the same in my opinion.
