French Toast Ingredients
- 2 slices bread Low-calorie or low carb 2 slices
- ½ cup egg whites 120ml
- 2 tbsp almond milk unsweetened 30ml
- 1 tbsp Monk fruit 15g or sweetner
- ½ tsp cinnamon 3g ground
- ½ tsp Vanilla extract 2½ ml
- 1 spray Non-stick cooking spray as needed
Topping Ingredients
- ⅓ cup Greek yogurt plain low fat 80ml
- ½ scoop Vanilla protein powder 15g
- ½ cup Fresh berries 120g
In a shallow dish wide enough to fit your bread, whisk together the egg whites, almond milk, zero-calorie sweetener, cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
Toast your bread in a toaster until lightly browned
Place each slice of bread into the mixture, letting it soak for about 20–30 seconds per side so it fully absorbs the liquid.
Lightly coat a skillet with non-stick spray and place it on the stovetop over medium heat. Cook the soaked bread for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
While the French toast is cooking, stir the Greek yogurt and vanilla protein powder together in a small bowl until it forms a thick, smooth glaze.
Plate the French toast, spread the yogurt protein glaze generously over the top, and finish with fresh berries.
- Stale bread absorbs the egg white batter better without falling apart. If your bread is fresh, give it a light toast first to dry it out. Aim for a low-calorie loaf (around 65 calories per slice).
- The monk fruit in the egg wash is essential. It helps caramelize the edges and is the secret to getting that dense, fudgy texture in the center.
- If your Greek yogurt is incredibly thick, stir in a tiny splash of almond milk until it reaches a smooth, spreadable consistency.
- Easily make this dairy-free by swapping the Greek yogurt for a coconut or almond milk yogurt, and using a plant-based protein powder.
- If berries aren't your favorite, swap them out for a drizzle of sugar-free maple syrup, a sprinkle of crushed nuts, or sliced bananas.
