Cinnamon Matcha Tofu Breakfast Toasts
These cinnamon matcha tofu toasts pack high-quality plant protein and healthy fats into a small, easy-to-eat portion for GLP-1 users with low appetite. The mild flavor, soft texture, and warm spice help you get meaningful calories and protein in a few gentle bites without feeling heavy.
Ingredients
- 150 g firm tofu — patted dry
- 20 g plain protein powder — unflavoured or lightly sweetened
- 80 g wholegrain bread — 2 small slices
- 80 ml unsweetened soy milk — or other gentle plant milk
- 10 g extra virgin olive oil — for drizzling
- 2 g ground cinnamon
- 1 g matcha powder
- 10 g honey optional
Instructions
- In a small blender or food processor, add the firm tofu, plain protein powder, unsweetened soy milk, ground cinnamon, and matcha powder.
- Blend until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed; the mixture should be thick but spreadable. If too thick, add 10–15 ml more soy milk.
- Lightly toast the wholegrain bread slices until just crisp on the outside but still soft in the center to keep them easy to chew.
- Spread a generous layer of the cinnamon matcha tofu cream over each warm toast slice.
- Drizzle the toasts lightly with olive oil and, if using, a thin line of honey for extra calories and gentle sweetness.
- Slice each toast into small squares or fingers to make the portions feel less overwhelming and easier to nibble slowly.
Tips for GLP-1 users
If your appetite is very low, start with half a slice of toast well-covered in tofu cream—this still delivers concentrated protein and calories in just a few bites, which is ideal on GLP-1 medication.
Serve the tofu cream slightly warm or at room temperature rather than cold from the fridge, as very cold foods can sometimes feel harder to tolerate when appetite is low.
