Wondering why protein is so important for a healthy lifestyle? Protein is essential for maintaining muscle mass and repairing tissues. It is also necessary for healthy hair and skin and plays a role in many important metabolic processes. 

Keep in mind that individuals who exercise regularly or who have a high protein diet need more protein than those who do not. Luckily, this healthy French toast recipe provides plenty of protein to help you meet your daily needs.

Other beneficial ingredients in this recipe include fruit and whole grains. Fruit provides essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, along with whole grains which are a good source of fiber. Fiber is important for healthy digestion and can help reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease and diabetes. 

Together, these ingredients make for a healthy and delicious breakfast that will keep you feeling full and satisfied all morning long.

Ingredients 

• Egg whites: Egg whites are a great source of protein in this recipe. I used egg whites separated from whole eggs, but you can also use egg whites from a carton. 

• Greek yogurt: Go for plain Greek yogurt to avoid the most added sugar. However, you can also use vanilla Greek yogurt if you prefer a sweeter flavor.

• Cinnamon:  Cinnamon is a healthy spice that has anti-inflammatory properties and can help regulate blood sugar levels. 

• Nutmeg: Nutmeg has a sweet, nutty flavor that pairs well with cinnamon and vanilla in this recipe. Just keep in mind that a little goes a long way!

• Vanilla extract: I use pure vanilla extract but you can also use any type of vanilla flavoring that you desire. 

• Salt

• Whole Grain Bread: Ezekial bread or sprouted grain bread is a great choice for this recipe as it has even more protein than other whole-grain bread, however, any whole grains will work. 

• Fruit: I used strawberries and bananas to top my french toast off, but any fruit will work!

• Other toppings: Top with other delicious ingredients like nuts, nut butter, cocoa nibs, maple syrup, honey, or whipped cream.
