Grilled French Toast (on Ezekiel bread)





This protein packed breakfast dish is perfect for summer while you're grills are out and waiting to be used! And don't worry, if you don't have a grill you can always use an indoor grill pan or even just cook it on your stove top! You can find original recipe here.

Fit Ingredients:

3 large egg whites

2 tbs coconut milk

1 tsp pure vanilla extract

2 tbs (15g) vanilla protein powder, optional

2 tsp stevia

1 tsp cinnamon (add more or less depending on your preference)

4 slices ezekiel bread (or bread of choice)

****************************************************************************

Non stick cooking spray

Grill or grill pan, optional but highly recommended

****************************************************************************

Directions:
In a bowl whisk together your egg whites, coconut milk and vanilla extract. Add in your protein powder, stevia and cinnamon. Mix well. Spray your grill pan with non stick spray (or warm up on your grill on low) and turn to medium heat. While the pan is warming, dip each of your slices of bread into the egg mixture. Coat one side then flip and coat the other. Allow excess egg to drip off and then place the bread on the pan/grill. Grill for 3-4 minutes or until desired darkness and then flip and cook an additional 2-3 minutes. Repeat until all bread slices have been cooked.

Serve hot. Top with fresh fruit, pure maple syrup, greek yogurt, nut butters, ricotta cheese, nuts/seeds or jam.
