Problem 1: If you are following a diet focused on protein, you know how difficult it can be to get rich foods in the morning. Most options are heavy on carbs, so you usually have to add eggs, or drink a whey protein smoothie, in case you do not want to consume meat so early in your days.
Problem 2: French toast is one of those dishes that could be labeled “guilty pleasures”. While it is delicious and easy to prepare, it is based on bread, which is a robust source of carbs, and is quite sugary. As a result, most people only enjoy it on special occasions like weekend brunch.
Having all that in mind, what if we told you that there is a way to solve both problems at once? This recipe aims at that: it modifies the traditional preparation of French toast to make it much healthier. To be more specific, it makes it richer in protein and poorer in sugar. Interesting, huh?
You are going to see that you can prepare this French delicacy with nothing but six ingredients and enjoy it in about 20 minutes. This way, you will be able to give your breakfast a nice touch without a lot of effort or time. We hope that you like this healthy version of protein French toast!
To make the High Protein French Toast, you will need the following ingredients:
In a mixing bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 3 large egg whites, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ½ cup milk, ½ cup protein powder, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract.
Dip each slice of bread in the egg bath, ensuring each slice is well soaked. Repeat until all the bread is used.
Lightly spray a large non-stick pan with cooking spray. Place the pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the soaked bread and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, flipping halfway through. The bread should be golden with crispy edges.
Dust with powdered sugar and serve immediately.
