I always top mine with vanilla Greek yogurt or cottage cheese for extra protein bc I like 30-40 per meal personally. I love to heat up a slice and top with almond milk or even my one of my coffee creamers. Just a splash…so good. If I’m having a hungry day I add nut butter to bc drippy peanut butter is one of my fave comfort foods. Good for a week in the fridge & freezes well too. If freezing, place each slice in a baggie and microwave or bake to thaw.
