FAQs

Can I use store-bought fruit jam instead of chia jam?

Yes, any high-quality fruit spread or jam will work well. Chia jam adds fiber but is not essential.

What kind of bread works best?

Whole grain or sourdough are ideal for texture and flavor, but any hearty bread that holds up well to toppings will work.

Can I make this recipe vegan?

Yes. Use vegan chocolate spread and ensure your bread and peanut butter are plant-based.

Is this good for kids?

Absolutely. The colorful fruits and sweet flavors make this a fun, healthy snack or breakfast for children.

How can I make this more filling?

Add a sprinkle of hemp seeds, a spoonful of Greek yogurt on the side, or serve with a boiled egg or smoothie.

Can I prepare this ahead of time?

The toppings are best fresh, but you can pre-toast the bread and slice the fruit to speed things up.

What other spreads can I use?

Try almond butter, cashew butter, tahini, or hazelnut spread for variety.

How do I warm the peanut butter for drizzling?

Microwave it for about 10 seconds or stir in a little warm water until it reaches a pourable consistency.

Can I use frozen fruit?

Frozen berries can be used after thawing and draining, but fresh fruit gives the best texture.

Is this recipe suitable for meal prep?

It’s best for quick assembly rather than long-term storage. You can prep ingredients ahead, then toast and assemble when ready.
