Low Calorie Protein French Toast (Print Version)

Lighter, protein-packed French toast with almond milk and protein powder—quick, low-calorie breakfast for two.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Bread

01 - 4 slices low-calorie whole-grain bread (approximately 30–40 kcal per slice)

→ Egg mixture

02 - 2 large eggs
03 - 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or skim milk)
04 - 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder (≈1 oz)
05 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
06 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
07 - Pinch of salt
08 - 1–2 teaspoons zero-calorie sweetener, optional, to taste

→ For cooking

09 - Nonstick cooking spray or 1 teaspoon light olive oil

→ Optional toppings

10 - Fresh berries
11 - 1 tablespoon Greek yogurt
12 - Sugar-free syrup

# How to Make It:

01 - In a shallow bowl whisk the eggs, almond milk, protein powder, cinnamon, vanilla extract, salt and sweetener until smooth and free of lumps.
02 - Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat the surface with cooking spray or 1 teaspoon light olive oil.
03 - Briefly dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, turning to coat both sides; allow excess to drip so slices are coated but not saturated.
04 - Transfer the coated slices to the skillet and cook 2 to 3 minutes per side, adjusting heat as needed, until both sides are golden brown and the interior is set.
05 - Plate immediately and finish with fresh berries, a tablespoon of Greek yogurt or a drizzle of sugar-free syrup as desired.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • This feels indulgent without the usual calorie cost so you can enjoy a stack guilt free
  • The protein keeps you full and helps recovery after a morning workout
02 -
  • If the protein powder is not well mixed it can clump so whisk thoroughly and taste a tiny bit raw to adjust sweetness
  • Do not soak the bread too long or it will fall apart in the pan
03 -
  • Measure the protein powder by scoop and level for consistent texture
  • Keep the heat medium so the centers cook through without burning the edges
