Ingredients:

French toast

• 1 egg
• 3 tbsp whey protein powder, vanilla or protein of your choice

Topping

Method:

1. In a large shallow bowl or casserole dish, whisk the eggs, protein powder, almond milk and cinnamon together.
2. Press the bread in the egg-protein mix and soak for 2-3 minutes. Turn the bread over to soak on both sides.
3. Place a non-stick pan on medium heat and spray with oil. When hot, place each slice of bread on the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden and warm through.
