FRENCH TOAST

Ingredients 

1/2 cup 2% milk
2.large eggs
2.egg whites or 6 tablespoons liquid egg white substitute
2.scoops vanilla protein powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4.slices whole-grain bread

TOPPING

1.banana, peeled and sliced
2.tablespoons chopped macadamia nuts
2.tablespoons unsweetened coconut flakes

Method 

1. In a shallow dish, add milk, eggs, and egg whites, whisking
    together with a fork. Add protein powder and cinnamon, whisking
    again until completely mixed.

2. Soak a slice of bread in the mixture until soggy—letting it
   sit at least 30 seconds or so is ideal.

3. Coat a medium nonstick pan with cooking spray and warm on
    medium-high heat. Add 1 or 2 bread slices into the pan (no
    crowding the pan!) and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes.
    Use a spatula to flip the slices, cooking again until firm,
    another 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate and repeat with
    remaining bread.
4. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix banana, nuts, and coconut
    flakes. Garnish each French toast piece with the topping. Serve
