How Do You Increase Protein in French Toast?

Use high-protein bread, egg whites, and Greek yogurt in your batter. Add a scoop of protein powder to boost protein by 10–20g. Toppings like nut butters, seeds, or cottage cheese also help increase total protein without changing the taste.

Is French Toast a Good Protein Source?

Traditional French toast is low in protein, but with a few swaps, it becomes a high-protein meal. Use protein bread, eggs, and Greek yogurt or protein powder. One serving can deliver 25–40g of protein , making it more filling than cereal or pastries.

How Can I Get 40g of Protein for Breakfast?

Here’s a quick build: 2 slices of protein bread = 16g 3 egg whites + 1 egg = 13g ¼ cup Greek yogurt = 5g 1 tbsp peanut butter = 4g Chia seeds = 2g Total: ~40g protein
