Fresh or Frozen Broccoli?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I used frozen, because I always have some broccoli on hand in the freezer and it's super quick to cook. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fresh is perfect fine to, you just want to steam it until you can roughly mash with a fork. so it will take a little longer to cook. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oven Baked Toast<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Why not just use a regular toaster? It doesn't make the bread anywhere near as crispy in my opinion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oven baked toast where you use a little spray oil and a pinch of sea salt, really crisps up the bread and makes it nice and crunchy. I regularly cook my toast this way, as I find I don't need to add lashings of butter to it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What sort of bread?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Use any bread you like that is low in calories or points if you are following another plan.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can have 60g of any wholemeal\/whole wheat loaf. I opt for a small fresh bakery loaf as they bread is so much nicer and gets much more of a crunch to it when baked.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are gluten free - a gluten free bread works perfectly too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
