About Nutella toast

Nutella Toast is a simple yet popular dish combining toasted bread with a generous spread of Nutella, a chocolate-hazelnut spread originating from Italy. The combination is commonly enjoyed as a snack or breakfast in Western and European cuisines. Nutella contains sugar, hazelnuts, cocoa, and skim milk, while the bread provides a carbohydrate base. A slice of Nutella toast typically contains about 200-300 calories, with carbohydrates from the bread, fats from the hazelnuts, and modest amounts of protein. While it is a quick source of energy, its high sugar and fat content mean it should be consumed in moderation.

Health Benefits

• Hazelnuts in Nutella provide vitamin E, which supports skin health and acts as an antioxidant.
• The bread offers dietary fiber, when whole grain or whole wheat options are used, aiding in digestion.
• Nutella contains small amounts of calcium from skim milk, which supports bone health.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains hazelnuts, milk, wheat (if bread contains gluten), soy (sometimes in Nutella's emulsifiers)

Suitable for: Vegetarian diet

Not suitable for: Vegan diet (due to milk), nut-free diet, gluten-free diet (if bread contains gluten), low-sugar diet

Selection and Storage

Store Nutella at room temperature in a cool, dry place. Bread should be stored in a breadbox or sealed bag to maintain freshness.

Common Questions About Nutella toast Nutrition

How many calories and how much protein are in Nutella toast?

A typical slice of Nutella toast made with one slice of white bread and 1 tablespoon (about 15g) of Nutella contains around 190 calories and 2-3 grams of protein. The exact values may vary depending on the type of bread used and the amount of spread.

Is Nutella toast suitable for a keto diet?

Nutella toast is not suitable for a keto diet due to its high carbohydrate content. Nutella alone has about 11g of total carbs per tablespoon, and adding bread significantly increases the carbohydrate load, making it incompatible with the low-carb requirements of a keto diet.

What are the health benefits or concerns with eating Nutella toast?

Nutella toast provides a quick source of energy due to its high sugar content, but it is low in essential vitamins and minerals. Concerns include its high levels of added sugar and fat, with 1 tablespoon of Nutella containing about 8.5g of sugar and 5.5g of fat, which may contribute to weight gain and increased blood sugar if consumed in excess.

What is the recommended portion size for Nutella toast?

A recommended portion size is one slice of bread with 1 tablespoon (15g) of Nutella. This keeps the calorie count around 190, making it a reasonable option for a snack or light breakfast. Consider pairing it with fresh fruit or nuts for added nutrients.

How does Nutella toast compare to peanut butter toast?

Nutella toast is higher in sugar and lower in protein compared to peanut butter toast. For example, 1 tablespoon of peanut butter typically contains about 3.5-4g of protein and only 1-2g of sugar, making it a more filling and nutritious option. However, Nutella has a sweeter and more dessert-like flavor, making it more of a treat than a protein-rich snack.
