This Healthy French Toast is a great way to start your day with a protein-packed delicious meal. Bread, eggs, berries, and spices create a delicious breakfast, snack, or even dessert!
Healthy French Toast
Yes, you read that right…Healthy Protein French Toast! I based this off of how my dad used to make us French toast when we were little. We would have it as an occasional treat on the weekends. 🙂 This recipe really reminded me of him since he just left a few weeks ago to finish hiking the Appalachian Trail!
What do I need for Protein-Packed French Toast?
To make this Healthy French Toast, you need basic ingredients you likely already have in your pantry and refrigerator. That’s one of my favorite things about this recipe. It is just that easy! While I prefer to use Ezekial bread, you can use your own preferred bread. It is even great with gluten-free bread if desired or needed.
- Bread
- Eggs
- Cinnamon
- Toppings such as fruit, honey, syrup, or nut butter
Can I Freeze French Toast?
One of the best parts of this recipe is just how easy it is to make in advance for meal prep. You can easily freeze this Healthy French Toast in batches to grab and reheat in a hurry.
If you are like most people, a fast meal is often the best. Especially on those mornings when just waking up and getting out the door takes all of your energy. When you meal prep in advance, you are more likely to stick with a healthy eating lifestyle.
To freeze this recipe, you simply need to cook each piece and allow them to cool completely before bagging them in airtight freezer storage bags. Always make sure to label freezer meals with both the recipe name and the date it was made.

Variations of French Toast
While this is my go-to version, you can definitely mix things up a bit when making French toast. A few dashes of nutmeg and ginger along with the cinnamon will give you a more spice mix flavor profile. You can even add a splash of vanilla extract or even almond extract to the egg mixture for extra flavor.
Other variations to try:
- Mix flavored protein powder in with eggs
- Use different flavored sweet bread like my Peanut Butter Banana Bread
- Mix and match toppings for different flavor profiles
