High Protein French Toast Meal Prep (Print Version)

Protein-rich French toast using protein powder and whole-grain bread, ready to prep and reheat for quick breakfasts.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Bread

01 - 8 slices whole-grain or high-protein bread

→ Egg and protein mixture

02 - 4 large eggs
03 - 1 cup milk (dairy or unsweetened almond milk)
04 - 2 scoops vanilla or unflavored protein powder (about 2.1 oz)
05 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
06 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
07 - Pinch of salt

→ Cooking

08 - 2 tablespoons butter or neutral oil, for frying

→ Toppings (optional)

09 - Fresh berries, to taste
10 - Greek yogurt, to taste
11 - Sugar-free syrup or honey, to taste
12 - Sliced banana, to taste

# How to Make It:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, protein powder, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon and a pinch of salt until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
02 - Place a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or neutral oil to lightly coat the surface.
03 - Working one at a time, dip each slice of bread into the custard, allowing it to soak for a few seconds per side so it absorbs but does not become falling-apart saturated.
04 - Cook the soaked slices in batches in the preheated skillet for 2–3 minutes per side, turning once, until each side is golden brown and cooked through; add more butter or oil between batches as needed.
05 - Transfer cooked slices to a wire rack or plate to drain and cool slightly; allow to cool to room temperature before portioning for storage to prevent condensation.
06 - Portion cooled slices into meal-prep containers for 4 servings; refrigerate for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months in a sealed bag after flash-freezing on a tray.
07 - Reheat slices in a toaster, oven or microwave before serving and top with fresh berries, Greek yogurt, syrup or sliced banana as desired; pair with extra Greek yogurt or nut butter for additional protein.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • No one suspects it's packed with protein, but it honestly keeps me full until lunch.
  • The slices reheat beautifully so breakfast feels special, even on a rushed weekday.
02 -
  • If you rush the soaking step, your bread won’t have that custardy center—it’ll just taste like eggs on toast.
  • Sifting the protein powder really does keep the batter silky smooth and prevents surprise lumps.
03 -
  • Always use day-old bread when you can—fresh bread tends to fall apart.
  • Sifting the protein powder seems fussy but it totally prevents graininess in the batter.
