Notes

High protein bread options include Nature’s Own Life Wheat & Protein, P28 Protein bread, or Better Way protein bread., Leftovers last up to three days covered in the fridge., French toast slices freeze well for up to 6 months in ziplock bags., Reheat frozen slices in a toaster or oven until warmed through., For a leaner version, use all egg whites instead of eggs and whites combined., Protein powder clumps can be avoided by blending the custard mixture., French toast sticks can be made by cutting bread into strips before soaking and cooking for about 4 minutes, flipping halfway.
