Toast Spread?

Hi Guys, I am a toast/bread junkie. Im looking for some new low calorie spreads use. Any ideas?

Thanks

I like the light cream cheese.  Less calories than butter or margarine, more flavour too.  Add to that some low cal jam .YUMMY

My number1 reccomendation is 100% fruit jam(preserve/jelly not sure what you call it in the US). I buy a brand called streamline and its 130calories PER JAR which works out at something silly like 15cal per tablespoon, and it has whole fruits in.

I often have cheese and pickle, using a thick slice of low fat cheese,sometimes the plasticy looking slices because they are only 30cal and then a teaspoon of pickle (in the UK i get branston) and you wouldnt think it but its 15cal a serving.

low calorie version of nuttella, 50 cal a serving but i cant resist hehe.

Extra light margarine with a dusting of cinamon, about 30-40cal.

Laughing cow light swiss - 35 cals.  Spread a teaspoon of strawberry jam on top of that and voila!  Strawberry cheese cake.

Apple butter can be quite low-cal (15-35 cals/tbsp) and you can make it yourself too. Same for pumpkin butter. I also love real fruit jams & chutneys.

Does nutella do a low calorie version??  or is it a different brand? 

"Does nutella do a low calorie version??  or is it a different brand?"

Ohhhh Nutella. I am not allowed to buy Nutella anymore. I can't keep my fingers, spoons, forks, or knives out of the Nutella. I can finish a small jar in two days. Very bad.

agreed on all of the above, especially apple butter!

I love light cream cheese and marmite on toast. I eat it most days!

I'm a total toast/bread addict too!  Some of my favorite toppings:

- laughing cow cheese
- PB2 (it's really good made with warm water and with a pinch of cinnamon stirred in)
- low sugar jelly/jam
- A few sprays of I Can't Believe It's Not Butter topped with cinnamon and splenda
- fat free cream cheese (sometimes with jam on top of it)
- hummus (currently, the eggplant and roasted red pepper are my favorites!)
- mashed up bananas
- fage greek yogurt and tomato

Here is my spread.

1 package of lite tofu. It's 30 calories per serving, 4 servings per container. 120 calories per package.

1 Fat Free Sugar Free Jello Instant Pudding, 4 servings per package. I like white chocolate. 100 calories per package

1 cup of Almond Breeze unsweetened Vanilla. The one that has 40 calories per cup.

1 serving of oat bran. 30 Calories.

Drain the tofu.

Mix 1 cup of almond breeze and instant pudding and combine by hand. Mix in oat brand by hand. Next add the tofu and combine with electric mixer. Start on slow and increase to max for a few minutes. Use regular "two mixer" attachment. I like to finish off with a "whire wisk" attachment. It really makes it fluffy and blends everything. This makes 4 portions, and one portion is enough for two toasts.

Cooked fruit =]

Im all for sweet potato butter and pumpkin butter mmmmm

My fave is the Whole Foods Store Brand, 365 seedless blackberry fruit spread.  It's the best.  The blueberry is quite good too.  If I need something more than just preserves, I do a thin spread of low fat cream cheese first, then the fruit spread. 

You know what tastes amazing and is super low cal as well as healthy?

Boiled (or roasted, if you have the time) garlic. Cook it in whole cloves up until the point when it becomes mushy. Spread on toast. It has a consistency similar to butter, and a soft, slightly sweet but also savoury flavour. Don`t worry, it only retains a subtle garlicky flavour, the pungence is lost in the cooking process.

You can sprinkle some seasoning of your choice for that extra zing (sweet/spicy red pepper powder work amazingly well with this).

-PB2 is peanut butter, but it's very low calorie.

-Alouette 'light' spreads are 50 cals

-fruit butters are very low-cal (30 per TB)

-sugar-free jelly

-vegemite

-Walden Farms spreads--all ZERO calories!
