Ingredients
For the French Toast:
- 4 large slices of bread – I used large, thick homemade sourdough bread, which is out of this world!! The Eat Royo Artisan Bread s a great low carb option if you need/want. They are only 30 calories a slice! Use the code COOKINGKATIELADY at checkout to get 10% off your order!
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 30g vanilla protein powder – I used the brand Prozis. You can use the discount code “KATIE10″ for 10% off at Prozis!
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
For the Filling:
- 1/4 cup plain, nonfat Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp organic cream cheese, softened
- 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
- 2/3 cup finely chopped strawberries (3-4 large)
How To Make It
- In a small blender, blend the egg, almond milk, protein powder, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Pour into a shallow dish and set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine all the filling ingredients and divide among two slices of bread. Top with remaining 2 slices of bread so that you have a “sandwich”.
- Soak each piece of stuffed French toast in the egg mixture generously. If you have smaller pieces of bread, you may be able to make additional stuffed French toast pieces.
- Cook on a griddle or pan for about 3-4 minutes each side. Top with 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!
