Ingredients
Scale
- 4 whole eggs
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or skim milk
- 1 scoop vanilla-flavored whey protein powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1–2 tablespoons pure maple syrup or a dash of stevia/erythritol (optional)
- 4 slices whole-grain bread or thick-sliced bread
- Cooking spray or butter for the pan
- 1 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1 cup fresh blackberries
Instructions
- In a shallow dish or a wide bowl, whisk together the eggs until well beaten. Add the milk, protein powder, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. If using a sweetener, stir that in as well. Whisk until the protein powder is fully dissolved and the batter is smooth.
- Place a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a light coating of cooking spray or a small pat of butter to the pan.
- Take one slice of thick-cut bread and immerse it into the batter, ensuring both sides are coated. Let each side soak for about 15-20 seconds.
- Carefully lift the soaked bread slice, letting excess batter drip off, and place it onto the preheated skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with remaining bread slices.
- Transfer the cooked French toast to plates. Top each serving with a generous dollop of Greek yogurt and scatter fresh or thawed berries on top. Drizzle with maple syrup or dust with powdered sugar if desired.

Keywords: Experiment with spices like nutmeg or cardamom for added flavor. For crispy edges, avoid overcrowding the pan and ensure it's adequately heated before adding bread. Adjust sweetness to taste using unsweetened protein powder and milk, relying on the natural sweetness of the berries.
