Fitness Friendly French Toast

This French Toast is Amazing, if you don't mind me tooting my own horn! This was created from the inspiration of my fellow fitness lover (aka workout obsessed) and good friend Ms. Bonnie. She turned me onto California Lifestyle Bread and from the first time I laid eyes on God's Gift to all Carb Lovers I had a million low carb, low fat, energy rich foods without busting the fly on your favorite "Skinny Day" jeans.




The recipe is quick and easy, as you will find most of mine are because let's be honest here, we work out a billion hours a week and that doesn't leave us much time to shave our legs let alone make a gourmet meal!!


Your Delicious Ingredients:


2 Slices California Lifestyle Cinnamon Walnut Bread
   (I am located at a few places: Mother's Market, Sprouts or online)
2 Egg Whites
Cinnamon - 3 Shakes (Less or More your choice)
1/2 Scoop Protein Powder
   (Use your favorite/ I suggest Isopure Strawberries and Cream -Zero Carb)
Walden Farms Pancake Syrup (Optional)
   (I am located at Mother's Market, Sprouts, Trader Joe's and online - This brand is a staple in my kitchen)
Non-Stick Spray (the less that's stuck to the bottom of the pan is more in our tummies!)


Kitchen Waist-Line Trimming Tools:


Skillet or Flat Grill
Spatula
Creative Positive Attitude (This is a Must!)


Directions for Breakfast Success:


Heat Pan to Medium Heat
Mix Egg whites, Cinnamon and 1/2 Scoop Protein Powder together - Whisk well
Evenly Coat one slice of your yummy low carb California Lifestyle bread with egg mix
Spray Pan with Non-Stick Spray
Place your Soon to be "Frenched" toast into the pan
    Give it about 30-45 Seconds and Flip
After Both Sides of toast are golden brown (or burnt if you are into that) Repeat to second Slice
Let Toast cool, top with Syrup if you like and enjoy the heavenly goodness!!!
Don't forget to do the dishes!!
