French Toast... that will not disappoint!!!

Often times I miss some of the sweet breakfast items I grew up with. They don't exactly have to be unhealthy, so I came up with a trio of options that you can adapt too and it is easy to incorporate in your meal plans! Let's first start off by saying - when they are fresh they are better, but you certainly can pre-make them and stick them in the toaster oven if your mornings are busy! Below you will find the main ingredients and some will differ depending on which recipe you choose to make. I also love how quick and easy they are with limited kitchen clean up.

Ingredients:

Eggs

Bread (approved bread <115 mg per slice)

Cinnamon

Lakanto (Monk Fruit Sweetened Maple Flavored Syrup)

I Can't Believe It's Not Butter

Non-Dairy Oat Beverage

Egg Whites

Vanilla Extract

Traditional French Toast:

2 Eggs

2 Slices of Bread

2 Tbsp Non Dairy Oat Beverage (ask your coach for details)

1/4 tsp of Vanilla Extract

Cinnamon (to your desired taste)

Lakanto (Monk Fruit Sweetened Maple Flavored Syrup)

I Can't Believe It's Not Butter

High Protein French Toast:

2 Eggs

1/4 Cup of Egg Whites

2 Slices of Bread

1/4 tsp of Vanilla Extract

Cinnamon (to your desired taste)

Lakanto (Monk Fruit Sweetened Maple Flavored Syrup)

I Can't Believe It's Not Butter

Lower Fat French Toast:

1/2 cup Egg Whites

2 Slices of Bread

1/4 tsp of Vanilla Extract

Cinnamon (to your desired taste)

Lakanto (Monk Fruit Sweetened Maple Flavored Syrup)

I Can't Believe It's Not Butter

Select your desired recipe and combine all of your liquid items along with your cinnamon in a bowl. Once everything is blended together - pour half of your mixture in a square bowl/container and add one slice of bread. Let it sit for 10 seconds and flip the bread over (giving the bread a chance to absorb all of the liquid). Then add the second half of the mixture to the bowl/container and repeat process. Fry the french toast in a pan coated with your spray oil until you have the desired crisp to the bread. Spray "I Can't Believe it's not butter" and add your serving size of your Lakanto Syrup (30 grams) and serve. I have also added some additional items you can incorporate instead of the syrup. Feel free to work with your nutritional coach so we can do what we can to make a specific recipe work for your meal plans.

Additional Ideas on items you can add:

• Use PB2 or PBFIT instead of syrup (make it a little watered down similar to a sauce)

• Use Sugar free jelly

• Add fresh fruit

• Add Fat Free Whipped Cream

One thing I would like to point out is that this is just proof that you can make a healthy breakfast where if feels like you are indulging. You know the whole basis of our program is wellness, sustainability, healthier habits and education!

ENJOY!!!!!
