Today in why-is-this-happening, we have the latest trend Instagram is going gaga over: mermaid toast. What are they you ask? It’s your basic bread slice with a topping of cream cheese mixed with a wee bit of colour. Adeline Waugh is the lady behind this exceptional idea.

Explaining the process behind the toast, she wrote: ‘Shades of blue (both the caption I thought of for this photo & the title of one of j.lo’s many endeavors) not sure what to call this…but I’m thinking mermaid toast, as to continue the tradition of naming toast after mythical creatures. I used a variety of blue green algae powders and liquids mixed with almond milk cream cheese to create this ocean inspired toast’

Shades of blue (both the caption I thought of for this photo & the title of one of j.lo’s many endeavors) not sure what to call this…but I’m thinking mermaid toast, as to continue the tradition of naming toast after mythical creatures.

Yes, not only did she come with the now trending mermaid toast, but she also gave us another mythical creature on toast – unicorn.

Mermaid Toast – which looks like Ariel would approve (and grandma would strongly disapprove) – comes in several shades of blue. With gold/pink/purple baubles and sprinkles.

Un’idea per la merenda dei #bambini? Toast arcobaleno! Senza utilizzare coloranti artificiali è sufficiente aggiungere ad un qualunque formaggio spalmabile succo di barbabietola o lampone per ottenere il rosa, mirtilli per il viola, spirulina in polvere per il blu, spinaci per il verde e curcuma per il giallo. Aggiungere gli ingredienti poco alla volta per ottenere la sfumatura desiderata e guarnire a piacere! #health #fruit #break #breakfast #mermaidtoast #unicorn #fairybread #fuelyourbody #healthyfood #healthybreakfast #healthychoice #benessere #fibre #vitamine #pazienticonsiglia #healtyeating #cleaneating #foodlover #breakfastclub #fooditaly

love each day with an intense fire like no other. see a spark when you wake up, and run with it. you are a divine cosmic being, who has so much to give for the world. i wish you could see yourself through my eyes, and the people around you. you have so much worth, you are so beautiful. your soul exudes the energy to take on each day. it’s okay to feel negativity. don’t let it consume you. let it wash over you, like a wave, and let it roll on. take a breath. you’re going to be okay. i’m here for you, and i love you. #vegan #govegan #mermaidtoast #hclfvegan #plants #plantbased #plantbaseddiet #foodporn #food #foodie #photography #art #veganrecipes #veganrecipes #vegangirl #whatveganseat #writing

Here’s the finished product from my #mermaidtoast takeover on @thefeedfeed snap (it’s over on their IG story now as well) p.s. for those asking: the shapes are made using tiny cookie cutters, I got mine on amazon… I would be using stars but *someone* (my lovely boyfriend) accidentally destroyed the star cutter in the garbage disposal … so flowers it is
