Peanut Butter Protein Toast

2 tablespoons of Trader Joe’s Crunchy Peanut Butter with Flax and Chia Seeds spread on 2 slices of P28 bread πŸ˜‹πŸ™ŒπŸ₯œ

P28 foods are packed with protein (28g for 2 slices of bread) so it makes it easy to enjoy well balanced toast without having to add on any other type of protein πŸ‘ their bread is a lot more dense though so I like to toast it to make it super crunchy instead of chewyπŸ‘Œ

Protein French Toast with Crunchy Peanut Butter

Seriously OBSESSED with egg white French toast with crunchy peanut butter 🀀🍞πŸ₯œπŸžπŸ₯œπŸžπŸ₯œπŸžπŸ₯œπŸžπŸ₯œπŸžπŸ₯œ

This can also essentially just be made into peanut butter sandwiches with French toast bread πŸ˜›

Either way this combo is bomb πŸ’£ so I thought I would share πŸ‘Œ

First, white bread is not the enemy πŸ™…πŸΌ as long as you’re getting fiber and other nutrients throughout the day. The reason multigrain or wheat bread is “better” is because it is higher in nutrients and fiber, but since my fiber goal will be hit with my other meals (and also getting 3g of fiber from the pb) then I’m actually wanting to enjoy foods with less fiber so I can avoid stomach discomfort. πŸ‘ With that being said, you can totally enjoy this recipe with multigrain, wheat, or any kind of bread alsoπŸ˜ƒπŸ˜‰

So you guys know I LOVE to preach about volume eating, so cutting off the crusts of bread (which is the denser part) allows me to get 6 pieces of French toast for the same amount of grams as 3 slices of bread with crust πŸ‘Œ and since this bread was only $.85 (from Aldi) I don’t mind tossing the crusts.

The rest of the process is pretty simple by just pouring egg whites and mixing with cinnamon in a flat bowl, dipping bread in the mixture, and then cooking it on a medium heat flat pan. Then I just spread what comes out to 2 tbsp of PB on each slice and enjoy πŸ˜‹πŸ˜‹ The reason I love to use egg whites for this recipe instead of regular eggs is because not using the yolks saves so many fat macros for peanut butter! πŸ™Œ

And I loveeee the crunchy pb with flax and chia seeds I used from Trader Joe’sπŸ™Œ adds such a great texture πŸ˜›

Strawberries with Peanut Butter Yogurt

A pound of strawberries with peanut butter Greek yogurt πŸ€€πŸ“πŸ“πŸ“πŸ“πŸ“πŸ“πŸ“πŸ“πŸ₯œπŸ₯œ

One of my absolute FAVORITE ways to end my macros for the day πŸ˜‹ such a big volume dessert for under 500 calories πŸ™Œ .

If you didn’t know that a pound of strawberries was only 145 kcal…well now you do πŸ™ŒπŸ‘strawberries are made up of mostly water so this helps with keeping it low cal and helps keep you feeling fullπŸ‘Œ

I paired my pound with 19g of Nuttzo Peanut Pro mixed with a cup of 2% plain Greek yogurt from Trader Joe’s πŸ˜‹

I’ve also had this meal with nonfat Greek yogurt and PB2 which brings the fat down to practically nothing and lowers the calories by about 120πŸ‘Œ but I had some fats to fill so went with the 2% fat yogurt and real pb πŸ˜‹πŸ₯œ

Macro Friendly French Toast Sticks

You guys…I can’t even handle this one 🀀🀀 I seriously loveee French Toast Sticks! I remember being a little girl and getting them from Burger King πŸ˜ƒ but OH EM GEE those ones are deep fried and not packed with lean protein and healthy fats like these are πŸ˜πŸ™Œ macros listed are for 11 sticks🍞and 11 Sticks from BK isΒ  836 kcal 11P/108C/40F 😳
