A Fun Recipe For the Kiddos

And for the young at heart, which is all of us right? I get tons of requests for healthy(ier) meals for kids.
Mine are quite picky so that’s a big challenge for me. Some of the few things they will eat are breakfast items like pancakes, waffles, and french toast, I make those a little ‘more substantial’ with a secret ingredient. Here’s a very easy, can’t miss recipe that’s a little sneaky and a lot delish!

Protein-Packed French Toast
1/2C Milk
4 Slices Whole Wheat Bread
2 Eggs
1 Scoop Vanilla Protein Powder
1/4t cinnamon, optional

Combine eggs, milk, protein powder and cinnamon in a bowl and whisk together. Soak bread one slice at a time in the mixture and lay in buttered pan over medium heat.
Cook until golden, flip and cook the other side.
This recipe is honestly so delicious, I don’t need to do any fancy tricks, but the kids do love when I use cookie cutters to make them into fun shapes! Above I used hearts and flowers. Dinosaurs are also popular here. I serve with a drizzle of syrup for Thing 2, plain for Thing 1, some fresh fruit, and they are on they’re way with some extra protein they know nothing about! Enjoy!
