Blackberry and ricotta breakfast toast with pistachios and lemon honey

Creamy ricotta spread over warm toasted sourdough with juicy berries and a drizzle of lemon honey is simple but unbelievably delicious. It tastes fresh, creamy, sweet and slightly tangy all at once, with the berries adding little bursts of brightness in every bite and the pistachios adding a deep nutty flavour.

Why it’s good for you:

Ricotta gives you protein and calcium to support muscles and bones, while berries are rich in antioxidants that help protect your cells and support healthy skin and immunity. Pistachios provide healthy fats, protein and minerals that help keep energy steady and support heart health.
