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.
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.
Protein Packed French Toast
Mix together: 1/2c egg whites, 1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder, dash of cinnamon
Dip bread into mixture
Optional – Dust with chia seeds
Cook.
Eat.
Repeat
Then, I chugged a ton of iced coffee and headed to the gym to train a client.

I love french toast. This looks simply delicious. I never thought to use protein powder with french toast before.
Angela says
Is that also PB on your French toast in your picture. Love this idea and love PB and syrup.
Leonor @ FoodfFaithFitness says
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.
Rebecca @ Miss Magnolia Munches & Moves says
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!

Would you consider being my breakfast chef? It doesn’t pay a lot, but I’ll be good to you!!!

Brittany @ GOtheXtraMile says
Love that idea for the protein french toast! By the way, your pictures never show up in my google reader. So weird=/

Boo. I wonder if a lot of people have problems with RER in Greader? I’ll try and fix it.
Ro @ Eat Live Move says
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!

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?
runeatrepeat says
Not awesome, but not gross. Probably weird.
Mary R. says
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 🙂
Heather @ Run Eat Play says
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 also feel super tight! I’m in need of a good stretch/massage if anyone wants to buy me one 🙂
