Ingredients
For the French Toast:
- Low Carb Bread - I used 4 slices of the Eat Royo Low Carb Artisan Bread. I love these because they are full of whole grains, keto friendly, high fiber, non-GMO, and only 30 calories a slice! Use the code COOKINGKATIELADY at checkout to get 10% off your order!
- Almond Milk - I used 1/2 cup of unsweetened vanilla flavored almond milk. You can use any kind of milk you would like though, such at oat milk.
- Egg - 1 large egg
- Protein Powder - Use 30 grams of your preferred protein powder. My personal favorite protein powder is by the brand Prozis, called the natural vanilla whey isolate. You can use the discount code "KATIE10" for 10% off at Prozis!
- Cinnamon - I used 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
- Nutmeg - 1/4 teaspoon, for flavor.
- Vanilla Extract- I used 1 teaspoon, for flavor.
- Salt - Just a pinch, for flavor.
For the Filling:
- 4 tablespoons of low fat cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon confectioner's swerve, or powdered sugar substitute of choice.
- 1 small banana, sliced into thin slices.
How To Make It
- Mix together the cream cheese and confectioners swerve in a small bowl and set aside.
- Spread the cream cheese evenly mixture among each slice of bread. Line the sliced bananas among two of the slices. Put a slice with just the cream cheese on top of those two slices.
- Whisk all ingredients together for the French toast mixture in a medium mixing bowl.
- Preheat a large skillet or griddle with a little bit of butter or nonstick spray over medium heat.
- Drench each slice of bread generously in the protein egg mixture.
- Place each slice in your preheated skillet and cook for about 3 minutes on each side.
- Top the French toast with your favorite berries and syrup and enjoy!
Why Is Consuming Protein Important?
- Protein is nutrient-rich, so it helps you stay fuller longer. You are more likely to eat less when you have high protein meals because you won't have the munchies!
- It boosts your metabolism & increases fat burning.
- It increases muscles & strength. If you are lifting weights and not eating enough protein, you aren't going to see much of a difference!
- It lowers your blood pressure.
How Long Do These Stay Good For?
You can keep your protein French toast in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days! These can be a great breakfast meal prep. To reheat them, just pop them in the microwave for about 20 seconds. They don't need much time to warm up at all!
