Warm Cinnamon Matcha Tofu Breakfast Toast
This warm cinnamon matcha tofu spread on soft wholegrain toast is gentle, low in fat, and mild in smell, making it suitable for GLP-1 users dealing with nausea. Silken tofu and protein powder provide concentrated protein in a small, easy-to-digest portion to support nutrition when appetite is low.
Ingredients
- 200 g silken tofu — drained
- 25 g unflavoured or mild vanilla whey or plant protein powder — none
- 60 ml unsweetened soy milk — none
- 2 g ground cinnamon — none
- 1 g matcha powder — sifted optional
- 10 g maple syrup — none optional
- 80 g wholegrain bread — sliced
- 6 g ground flaxseed — none optional
Instructions
- In a small blender or bowl, add the silken tofu, protein powder, soy milk, ground cinnamon, matcha powder (if using), and maple syrup.
- Blend with an immersion blender or whisk vigorously until completely smooth and creamy, adding a splash more soy milk if needed to reach a thick yogurt-like texture.
- Warm the tofu mixture gently in a small saucepan over low heat for 3–5 minutes, stirring constantly, until just heated through and lightly steamy but not boiling to keep the flavour and smell mild.
- While the spread warms, lightly toast the wholegrain bread slices until just soft-golden rather than very crisp, which keeps them easier to digest.
- Spread the warm cinnamon matcha tofu mixture generously over the toast slices and sprinkle with ground flaxseed if tolerated.
- Slice each toast into small strips or squares for easier nibbling if your appetite is low, and serve warm or lukewarm, which is often better tolerated during nausea than very hot or cold foods.
Tips for GLP-1 users
If your nausea is strong, start with a small half-slice of toast and a thin layer of the tofu spread, eating slowly to see how your stomach responds before finishing the portion.
For very sensitive stomach days, omit the matcha and flaxseed to keep the flavour even milder and the texture extra smooth.
You can prepare the tofu spread ahead and warm only the portion you plan to eat, which helps when fatigue or low appetite makes cooking difficult.
