The best since sliced bread

A friend of mine posted a link to her Facebook on ways to incorporate protein powder into recipes that are not smoothie based. 


This morning I tried the Cinnamazing Pancakes but they were an epic fail (see the link below for other recipes using protein powder). The batter smelled so yummy and they appeared to have cooked properly but the middle was straight up raw. Gag! The whole batch went into the trash can. 


So, I tried my hand at the All American Toast and voila! Perfetto!! (Do you like my French and Italian?!) 


Ingredients:
1 Scoop of Vanilla Complete protein powder by Juice Plus+ (substitute your favorite protein powder)
4 slices of Grandpa's Oven Cinnamon Swirl Bread (or add cinnamon to the mix for use on plain bread)
1/2 cup of egg whites
1/4 cup of milk
1 banana (sliced)
All natural maple syrup


Cook both sides about 2-3 minutes. Top with syrup (to taste) and sprinkle with sliced bananas. 


I think I've found the next best thing since sliced bread. It is truly a fabulous dessert... Oops, I mean breakfast! Seriously though, I think it could pass for a dessert. Add a dollop of fresh whipped cream (make your own, avoid the store bought kind unless free of hydrogenated oils and artificial colors or other artificial sweeteners) instead of the syrup for a dessert and top with your favorite sliced fruit - strawberries, bananas or even fresh blueberries! 


Choose, eat, and live well! =)
