High-Protein French Toast

Healthy, nourishing, and perfect for breakfast or post-workout

Looking for a breakfast that combines comfort food with functional nutrition? This high-protein French toast is a healthier take on the classic recipe: rich in protein, free from unnecessary sugars, and perfectly suited to an active lifestyle.

At Aurora Personal Training in Eindhoven, we regularly recommend breakfasts like this to clients working on muscle growth, fat loss, or recovery after strength training.

Why Choose High-Protein French Toast?

Traditional French toast often contains a lot of sugar and provides little satiety. With a few smart adjustments, you can turn it into a balanced and nourishing meal.

Benefits:

• High protein content → supports muscle recovery and satiety

• No added sugars → stable energy, no sugar crash

• Whole grain or sourdough bread → fiber and slow-release carbohydrates

• Spices like cinnamon → great flavor without extra calories
