Whether it’s for breakfast on Sunday morning or dessert on Wednesday night, I’m ALL about french toast. It was my lifeline during my first competition prep and it’s been a must-have when those pregnancy egg aversions hit but I still needed to get in my protein. This protein-packed french toast is a healthy alternative to the classic brunch favorite.
Swap in egg whites for the usual whole eggs, unsweetened almond milk for whole milk, and low carb bread for thicker sugary options for a decadent breakfast that’s so much better for you!
Soak the bread in the egg/almond milk mixture with a little cinnamon and vanilla, and then toss it on a skillet over medium heat to cook. It’s that easy.
Mix it up with different toppings or by adding flavored extracts to the batter. Top your protein-packed french toast with a protein frosting (1T vanilla whey + 1T almond milk), cream cheese “frosting” (1T cream cheese, softened in the microwave + 1T almond milk + Stevia to taste) or Walden Farms calorie-free pancake syrup. So good without the guilt!
