It uses things you likely already have in the pantry/fridge, this is an easy french toast recipe that could really could be used as an every day breakfast.

healthy-french-toast-berries-eat-pray-workout-2Using wholegrain bread (instead of white) keeps it lower in sugar (low GI) which means your body will be sustained with energy for a longer period of time. Another idea to get you extra nutrients is to use a seed & grain bread. healthy-french-toast-berries-eat-pray-workout-3

    Great recipe Amy, I've always been curious if french toast would work with whole grain bread... I love french toast so much, but always feel guilty when I eat it, usually slathered in maple syrup! :D Kez | acaciasdreams.com

    These look awesome Amy! I’m going to try them for brekkie... if I wake up early enough! Have you ever listen to the Australian health and wellness guru - Barbara O'Neil from Misty Mountain Health retreat? I’ve just been making my way through her series on Youtube. They’re so enlightening! Highly recommend her! And she’s a Christian :-) Keep well! (Joy - random you met at Ryan & Samm’s wedding.
