Notes

The recipe uses 2-3 slices of bread depending on the protein powder and how much you let it absorb. The nutritional value is set to 1 servings which two full slices of bread.
You can easily change the flavor of the high protein French toast by changing the protein powder. Vanilla protein powder or caramel protein will come out delicious.
This protein French toast recipe should work with whey protein powder as it absorbs less liquid (so you’d get three pieces of bread in) but I haven’t tried it.
Protein French toast is best served fresh. However, you can use it as a meal prep recipe! Just make it and pop it in the fridge in an airtight container for the next day and then toast it lightly. It comes out pretty yummy and I do this with the kids for quick breakfasts.
Vegan protein powder does clump a bit when mixed, if this bugs you then you’ll need to blend the mixture. If not, just whisk as normal and know it won’t hurt you 😉
