High Protein French Toast Sandwich
High Protein French Toast has 14 grams of protein per slice of bread. Each piece is dipped in an egg batter, pan grilled and filled with fresh fruit!
This was MY breakfast that I made for myself this past Saturday. My husband headed out for a long run, and my son was probably still asleep when I decided to make brunch for one!
Remember my carb/protein ratio strategy? I shared my approach when I posted this Blackberry-Banana Smoothie recipe. Well, I absolutely love pancakes and French toast, but I usually will make an egg dish or if we go out, I’ll skip those options on the menu because with most bread-like dishes that have too many carbohydrates, I’ll be hungry a short time later if it’s not paired with some decent protein.
That is where this awesome P28 high protein bread comes into play. Each slice of this bread has 12 grams of carbohydrates and 14 grams of protein. This combination is a near perfect nutritional balance that will keep you satisfied long after leaving the table.
If you take a quick peek at P28 High Protein Foods’s website you’ll notice that they market to bodybuilders. I guess the ripped dude wheat stalk on the package might be a clue too! Fitness gurus feed their muscles with protein, but I think active folks like me or bottomless pit teenagers can benefit from this product!
Btw, this is not a sponsored post. P28 doesn’t know I exist, but they SHOULD because they’re missing a large market of people that like the convenience of good, natural, nutritious foods!
I added fruits to my sandwich with some maple syrup, but I also would recommend a Berry Sauce or the sauce from my Cinnamon Apple Pancake recipe. You also might be interested in trying my protein packed Cottage Cheese Pancake recipe!
I purchased this bread from Whole Foods in the freezer section.

That looks really good and I’m usually not a fan of “french toast.”
I didn’t even know that high protein bread existed! This is awesome.
It is super cool stuff! I savor the times I eat this 😉
This looks like a beautiful dish! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you! I’m glad you stopped by Krystal!
Sandra: You hit it out of the ballpark with this one. I am pinning so I can make this in a few months, when i can eat bread (in moderation) again.
Thank you, Marlene! Yes, when you can ease back more carb in your diet, give this recipe a try! I also toast a slice, top it with some almond butter and bananas for breakfast!
Looks delicious! I’ve never heard of that brand of bread before. Where did you find it?
Hi Amanda! I bought the bread at Whole Foods. They have it stashed in the freezer section. They probably have a list of other places that see this on their website.
I definitely need to make this for my boys!
Yes! Keep them out of the kitchen for a few hours 😉
This looks absolutely delicious!! Wish we had a Whole Foods in my town!
I’m lucky to have a couple of specialty grocery stores nearby. I have considered ordering online since they have other products I would like to try.
This looks so delicious! Breakfast food is my favorite kind of food, I know what recipe I’ll be trying this weekend <3
Seriously, I love breakfast too! I hope you love this as much as I do!
When I was a kid, my dad made us Monte Cristo sandwiches. It’s just a ham & cheese on french toast, but they were so good.
I remember that sandwich! I would see it in restaurants quite a bit (back in the day). Yes, same concept!
That looks really delicious, my kind of breakfast!!
Thanks, Tara! A great way to start the day!
I want one of these please!
Coming right up, Katerina! 🙂 Have a great weekend!
Wow! I can’t believe it has that much protein per slice! My husband would love this.
I know, Stacey! I was excited to learn about this bread.
What a clever idea – they should know you exist! It looks delicious too! If you have a chance, I would love it if you would stop by and link it up with Foodie Fridays!
Right?! Thank you, Michelle! Thank you for the link up reminder. I need to be constantly poked 🙂
Wow! That just looks mouth watering! Its been a long time since I’ve made french toast.
I’m usually running out the door most mornings, so this was a nice breakfast at home!
I love French toast and the heartiness of this version along with the added protein makes this even more appealing! Wonderful post, thank you for sharing!
Thank you, Dan! I like to start my first meal feeling satisfied and this recipe does just that!
