Anabolic French Toast

As Coach Greg Doucette says (or screams), THERE ARE NO RULES IN THE ANABOLIC KITCHEN! Anabolic french toast is essentially fluffy, egg-white soaked bread that’s cooked in a pan. It can be either sweet or savory, eaten fresh or reheated from frozen.

To add flavor to the toast, you can mix in some extras into the egg whites before soaking the bread.

  • Sweet: granulated or liquid sweeteners, cinnamon, vanilla extract

  • Savory: popcorn seasoning, dried herbs, black pepper

Some of my favorite sweet topping combos include:

  • Greek yogurt, cinnamon, mangoes, and maple syrup

  • Greek yogurt, strawberries, and maple syrup

  • Peanut butter and jelly or frozen berries

  • Chocolate peanut butter and strawberries

  • Bananas, walnuts, chocolate chips, and maple syrup

  • Mixed berries and cream

Some of my favorite savory topping combos include:

  • Sautéed greens, mushrooms, and/or peppers and parmesan cheese

  • Cottage cheese with black pepper, flaky sea salt, and red pepper flakes

  • Greek yogurt, dill, lemon juice, avocado, sliced cucumbers and smoked salmon

No nutrition information because this recipe is so variable depending on toppings, type of bread, amount of oil used in pan, etc.
