My winter hibernation period is now officially over and I’m embracing springtime to the fullest. It doesn’t look like spring yet (still some snow on the ground) but these little snacks – Key lime pie & piña colada toasts help me get in the right mood. Whenever I’m craving sweet toasts I try to come up with new yummy vegan spreads. But not just yummy, preferably healthy and wholesome too. These two spreads are all that and more (+ spring vibes guaranteed!).
Snacktime becomes pretty amazing if you have lime, avocado, pineapple and coconut cream. You also need about 20 minutes and preferably at least another 20 min to enjoy these sweet toasties in a relaxed way. Just a bite of these and you’ll be transported into a green sunny place 🙂 After a long moody winter, that’s exactly what I’m longing for.
Would you like to have a bite?
ps. This recipe is also perfect for all you avocado fans (everyone I assume?). If you haven’t tried sweet avo toasts yet, you should definitely give them a try 🙂
- Key Lime Pie toasts
- 1 avocado
- Juice of one small-medium lime (about 2 tbsp lime juice)
- ¼ c coconut cream (the creamy part of a coconut milk can)
- 1 tsp light agave syrup or stevia drops or sweetener of choice (I like to use light colored agave or stevia in this recipe so that the key lime spread will keep its gorgeous green color)
- pinch of spirulina (add spirulina to make the spread beautifully green)
- pinch of Himalayan salt (or other good quality salt)
- Piña colada toasts
- 2 cups fresh pineapple
- 1,5 tbsp chia seeds
- ¼ cups coconut cream (the creamy part of a coconut milk can)
- Sweetener of choice if you prefer your coconut cream sweetened
- 4 toasts
- Key lime pie toasts: blend all the ingredients in a food processor or high speed blender until totally smooth and creamy. Store in the fridge in a sealed container.
- Piña colada toasts: blend 2 cups fresh pineapple cubes in a food processor or blender until smooth. Heat pineapple puree in a saucepan over medium heat for about 10 minutes or until the puree starts to thicken. Stir in the chia seeds. Store the jam in a clean glass jar or other clean container.
- How to make the toasts: Put key lime pie spread generously on top of a warm toast.
- Spread pineapple jam on other toasts and add a dollop of coconut cream on top.
- Enjoy this lovely green & yellow spring snack 🙂
pps If you’re looking for a chocolatey vegan spread, look no further – this is a yummy creamy one. Have you made coconut butter from scratch? It’s super easy, as you can see here!
Wow, these are so clever! Happy to hear you’re out of hibernation. I’m still counting the days to when I can say the same 🙂
Thank you Sophie! I hope it’s getting warmer there! It’s still a very in-between-seasons kind of weather here (hence lots of tropical snacks 🙂 ) but I can smell spring in the air already. Happy weekend 🙂
I have not tried sweet avocado toasts yet. Nor have I ever imagined such tropical toast flavors could exist, but I clearly have some toast-snacking catch up to do!!I love every single part of this, the key lime cream, the pineapple chia spread (I’ve never thought to make a chia “jam” with pineapple before, I can imagine lots of yummy uses for that!), and the fact that you are embracing the spring vibes even if the weather isn’t yet. Perhaps sweet tropical toasts will change it’s snowy mind 🙂 These are so creative and beautiful Tiina, I would happily set aside 40 minutes for a snack like this!
Thank you Natalie! Sweet avocado toasts are the best these days when I’m craving lots of sweets (being at home with baby..being near the fridge..near sweet snacks 😉 ). Hope you try sweet ones soon! You could even make a choco-avo spread, yum 🙂 Have a wonderful weekend! I hope it’s warm & tropical there 🙂
This looks amazing Tiina, it’s practically dessert on top of toast 🙂
Thank you Stacey! That’s really how I like my snacks – as close to dessert category as possibe 😉 Have a lovely weekend dear <3
This recipe is so cool! Almost as good as being on a tropical beach with a pina colada 🙂 Love the vibrant colors, Tiina!
Thank you Nisha! The weather here is so far from tropical that I really need fruity tropical snacks to get through this cold start of spring. Hope it’s getting warmer there 🙂 Lots of love & a happy weekend <3
Looks like a perfect summer-time breakfast. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much Jason, it really is a good brekkie! Have an amazing summer!
