Post-Workout French Toast

This Makes Working Out Worth It!

Post-Workout French Toast

I make this regularly after an intense workout. In fact, on days I know I’m going to make this after I work out, I work a little bit harder and a little bit faster so I can hurry up and get home to this goodness. Its so easy too. I got the inspiration from @jesslollo on Instagram. You should follow her if you’re looking for “fitspo” (that’s fitness inspiration for all you non-instagrammers) and delicious healthy recipes. Back to the french toast. You’re welcome!

Ingredients:

1/4 tbsp. organic extra virgin coconut oil

2 slices Ezekiel Sprouted Grain Bread-Low Sodium

1/2 c. egg whites

1/4 tsp. cinnamon

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1/2 scoop vanilla whey protein powder

1.5 oz. unsweetened applesauce (you can easily make this by steaming apples yourself and pureeing)

1/4 c. strawberries, sliced

1/4 c. blueberries

1 tbsp. Qi’a Superfood Chia, Buckwheat, & Hemp Cereal (you could also just use chia seeds)

Preparation:

Melt coconut oil in a pan over medium heat. In a shallow bowl, combine egg whites, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Soak Ezekiel bread in egg white mixture on both sides and add to pan. While bread is cooking, combine vanilla whey protein powder, applesauce, and water (as needed depending on the consistency you want) for a glaze. Once bread has that nice french toast golden crust, flip over and cook until the other side does as well. Place both slices on a plate and drizzle with glaze. Top with berries and cereal. Enjoy and to your health!
