A substitute for butter on toast ?

Question

For breakfast, over the last 10 years i have eaten 4/5 slices of Hovis granary with butter, while drinking couple of cups of green tea. That provides an energy charge that sometime can last until early afternoon.

I believe i am eating too much butter (750g per month), what's the best substitute considering that breakfast really gives me a real kick without feeling heavy. Thanks

Answer 1

750g is not that much, however you can mix butter and olive oil in a 1;1 ratio (let the butter thaw at room temp, or even warm it up a small amount) and when you rrefridgerate the mixture, it will be very spreadable

Answer 2

Light cream cheese and no sugar jam.

Answer 3

Hi just switch you butter for magerine, we find that flora is the best and you can even get a buttery version in this make. There is allsorts you can put on toast but peanut butter is even fattier that normall butter, Jam is great but not everyone likes something sweet in the morning same goes for honey and marmalade.

So margerine is the closest you are going to get to butter and to enjoy your breakfast I think/

Answer 4

What about just plain jelly, or how about peanut butter and jelly. Cinnamon sugar, try it.

Answer 5

Margerine

Peanut Butter

Marmite

Strawberry Jam  

Answer 6

Well it depends on if you want to add anything on top

Toast toppings:

Jelly (or jam)

You can mix a  bit of jelly or jam with cream cheese & spread that

lemon curd

peanut butter (chunky or creamy)

applesauce?  

Answer 7

Plain bread?

Answer 8

jam or applebutter

Answer 9

Low fat Quark ( a type of soft cheese) with real fruit jam.

I really love this - here in Germany it's a real classic. Maybe you can get it in Lidl or Aldi as these are both German supermarket chains.

happy breakfasting!!

Answer 10

In regards to Chna99 answer - Quark is lovely with Jam spread on toast - you can purchase Quark from Morrison's supermarkets lovely!!  

Answer 11

HI! Honey would be the best thing to use. It is the purist form of food and it never goes bad- even when it hardens up you can microwave it and use it. It will give you the blast that you need. One other thing that you could use is vegamite- it is from Australia but it is an acquired taste. It is made of fish products and they are the best brain food for you. I must warn you again that it is an acquired taste. Good luck and keep on looking!

Answer 12

Marmite.

peanut butter or molasses

Answer 26

Butter is not bad for you. Try mixing the butter with fruit spreads to thin it out.

Answer 27

There are loads of products claiming to taste just like butter on the market. Take yourself down to your local supermarket & read up on the contents. If I was you I would opt for one that claims to reduce cholesterol whilst still retaining a buttery taste, & buy a small tub to try. Although I did once see an experiment where 2 lab rats were put into 2 separate cages. One cage had butter in it, the other, margarine. The rat in the butter cage ate the lot, yet the rat in the margarine cage tried some but then left it almost completely untouched! I don't know about you, but if a rat can turn its nose up, it makes you wonder just how healthy it is for us!
