Chocolate Protein French Toast

Chocolate Protein French Toast:  French toast

Best french toast ever! This recipe is super easy to make and can be topped with fruit, chocolate, jam ect. I topped mine with a chocolate protein spread and a small cut up piece of dark chocolate. I made the chocolate topping with muscle milk, chocolate hazelnut nut powder and almond milk. It was delicious. This is definitely a meal I will be making again.

Ingredients:

  • egg whites
  • bread: I used when pigs fly sourdough
  • protein powder

Topping:

  • almond milk
  • protein powder
  • hazelnut powder

For the french toast I added a half a scoop of vanilla protein powder to my egg whites. I let the bread soak it all up and then cooked it like regular french toast. While it was cooking I made the topping. I used half a scoop of vanilla protein powder, a table-spoon of hazelnut powder and enough almond milk to make the topping spreadable. When the toast was done I put the topping in between every layer and then poured the rest on top. I hope you enjoy!!

Do you have a sweet tooth? One of my favorite candies are peanut butter cups, I could eat a ton of them! So I decided to make my own and add some protein to them, so I wont feel guilty when I eat too many. I made mine with powdered peanut butter but you can also use regular peanut butter. I also used vanilla muscle milk but I’m sure other flavors would taste good too. Once I get some marshmallow peanut butter (cellucor) protein I’m going to make them again. Let me know how yours come out!

  • pour half the melted chocolate into the cup cake liners. Then put them in the freezer for 10 min
  • heat up your peanut butter so its a little warm. Add a half a scoop of protein and mix well.
  • take the chocolate out of freezer. Place a dollop of the peanut butter on top of the chocolate . You may need to flatten it out

Cauliflower “rice” Roll ups

This dish is so good! I’m not usually a fan of cauliflower but I gave it a try. Its great to make when you already have your food  cooked and ready to go.

Ingredients :

  • steamed cauliflower rice
  • sauteed peppers and onions
  • tomatoes
  • corn
  • shredded chicken
  • lettuce

How to “rice” cauliflower: cut it up so it is fairly small, you can also put it through a food processor. You want it to be about the same size as rice. Add it to a pan with a bit of water and steam for 10-15 min.

After cauliflower is done add all ingredients into a bowl and mix it up. Take a piece of lettuce off the head. Add a heaping scoop of mix and place it on the lettuce. Fold in the sides and then roll it up!

 

Tomato avocado salad

I can’t get enough  avocados. This is a perfect snack or appetizer. It’s so simple and quick to make.

Breakfast avocado

Who loves avocados? Me! This is very easy to make. Preheat your ovens to 375. First you cut your avocado in half and take the pit out. Then scoop out some of the inside, make the hole where the pit was bigger. I then added pre cooked bacon to mine. Then you crack an egg in the hole. Small eggs work best. my larger eggs keep over flowing. I added pepper before putting in it the oven. Bake for 10-15 min depending on how runny you like your eggs.  You can then eat it right from the skin or I  find it easy to pop the whole thing out onto a plate. I made a little dish/stand out of tin foil so the avocado didn’t tip over while baking. Top with cheese, hot sauce ect! I hope you enjoy!

ingredients :

  • Avocado
  • eggs
  • bacon

Preheat over to 375. Bake 10-15 min.image
