Protein Packed French Toast Recipe

by runeatrepeat on April 4, 2012

Happy Wednesday! This morning I was super efficient and got all this done before 8am: checked/responded to email, comments, made breakfast for Ben and myself, made him lunch, washed sheets, put away dishes, meal plan and more!

I also ran 7 miles. They felt tough and slow. I think I need to spend some time stretching today. I’m super tight.IMG 9439 800x600 thumb Protein Packed French Toast Recipe

Yesterday I got an idea for breakfast and couldn’t wait until I had the chance to try it out. You guys know I love French Toast, but I wanted to pump up the protein in it this time.

Doesn’t it feel so nice to accomplish so much so early?!

I just bought a massage stick today – my calves are always tight.
Your French toast looks awesome. I am a huge French toast fan.

I’m soooo making this on Friday since I don’t have to work. I love french toast almost as much as I love chia seeds :)

Great idea for the protein powder in the French Toast mix! I only have Strawberry flavor; do you think that would be awesome or totally gross?

Not awesome, but not gross. Probably weird.

I can’t wait to try your French Toast recipe! It looks so good!

When I’m tight, I like to do yoga. I really enjoy kicking the dogs out, turning off the lights and lighting some candles before I do it. I love the serenity and flexibility that yoga gives me. Have a good one!

I love french toast. My mom used to make it for us every Sat morning, except we call it Pain Perdu becuase we’re French and pretend to be fancy. Genius to add protein powder!

Great idea with the chia seeds. I never remember to add them to anything. I guess I should keep them where I can see them.
