Nutritional Benefits
- Whole Grain Bread Slices: Opt for whole grain bread slices as the base for your French toast. They provide a hearty texture and a boost of fiber to keep you feeling full and satisfied.
- Eggs: Eggs are high in protein and low in fat, making them an excellent choice for creating a fluffy and protein-rich French toast coating.
- Protein Powder: Choose your favorite flavor of protein powder to add an extra boost of protein to the French toast batter. Vanilla flavored protein powder works wonderfully in this recipe.
- Fresh Blueberries: Blueberries not only add natural sweetness and a burst of flavor to the filling but also provide a dose of antioxidants and vitamins.
- Greek Yogurt: Greek yogurt adds creaminess and a subtle tang to the filling while contributing a significant amount of protein to the dish.
Ingredients
For the French Toast:
- Low Carb Bread – I used 6 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 (either the zero diet whey vanilla or the natural vanilla whey isolate). You can use the discount code “KATIE10″ for 10% off at Prozis!
- Cinnamon – I used 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
- Vanilla Extract– I used 1 teaspoon, for flavor.
- Salt – Just a pinch
For the Filling:
- 3 tablespoons organic cream cheese
- 2 tsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 1/4 cup plain, nonfat, Greek yogurt
- 2/3 cup fresh blueberries
How To Make It
- In a small blender, combine the egg, almond milk, vanilla extract, protein powder, and pinch of salt. Blend, pour into a bowl, and set aside.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the the cream cheese, lemon juice, Greek yogurt, and blueberries. Spread mixture evenly among 3 slices of bread. Top with remaining 3 slices of bread to create a “sandwich”.
- Preheat a large skillet or griddle with a little bit of butter or over medium heat.
- Drench each piece of stuffed French toast generously in the protein egg mixture.
- Place each slice in your preheated skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side. 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!
