Avocado toast had it’s 15 minutes, so let’s make way for the next craze….mushrooms on toast! This recipe is simple and quick (just how I like it), but it has some great benefits for women heading into, or already in, menopause.
Sourdough is my top pick, along with dark rye, as bread choices because they are lower on the glycemic index, and blood sugar balance is one important strategy to ease menopause symptoms. Since every meal should contain a source of protein, we added mozzarella and we don’t think you’ll be upset about it.
One serving of this toast is a whopping 57 grams of protein and there’s an additional bonus– cheese also high in calcium, and that is what we need for bone health in mid-life.
