Sometimes, we all need to treat ourselves. Especially if we’re on a diet. But then there’s always the guilt you feel the next day for cheating, then you feel bloated, then the whole process of restricting too much begins again! Get those cravings out of the way, treat yourself, and feel nourished ALL while eating a healthy breakfast toast that won’t add pounds to your waist!

While berries and cream are nothing new, this recipe puts a new twist on the combination with the addition of your own homemade jam that only takes minutes to prepare! The ginger in the jam delivers a distinct bite of spice that helps to emphasize the flavor of the berries instead of just plain sweetness that you would find in other jams.

This also allows you to control the level of sugar that you put in your jam, allowing you to take control of your own flavors! Once you’ve tried making your own jam and adding it to the creamy ricotta and fresh, tart fruit, you’ll love the flavor combination!

This recipe works best on whole grain bread, which will give you the highest number of nutrients for your bite, but try it on all your favorite breads!
