Anabolic French Toast is the G.O.A.T for anyone serious about the gym. It’s way more flavorful than those Protein bars you’re trying to convince yourself are good, and it’s cheap! French toast will not only satisfy your taste buds but also help you reach your fitness goals. Packed with essential nutrients and sweetness, this recipe is a game-changer for all fitness enthusiasts.

Regular French Toast vs. Anabolic French Toast

So what exactly makes regular French toast different from anabolic French toast? You guessed it…Protein. With regular French toast, you’re looking at between 5-10g of Protein per slice. But with Anabolic French toast, you can get a whopping 15-25g (!!!) per slice. Granted, if you’re getting 25g of protein per slice, that slice has to be the side of a bed sheet and drenched in protein like Riley Reid after a 10 v 1 (yeah, I’m funny…deal with it).

The 2 ways to change the protein content will vary with the Bread you use AND by adding protein powder. Bread can range from 2-14 g of protein per slice. That’s a massive difference! For perspective, that’s a protein content range from a bag of chips up to a whole chicken breast. It Icompletely changes the macronutrients of the meal.

And by adding a scoop of protein powder, it secretly adds protein. You know how in college, you used to take a few sips of a beer and add in some hard stuff to make it stronger, but just enough that it didn’t ruin the taste? Same concept, but for good health.

Key Ingredients and Their Benefits:

1. Whole Grain Bread: Opting for whole grain bread over refined white bread increases the fiber content and provides a sustained release of energy throughout the day. It also contains essential vitamins and minerals.
2. Eggs: Eggs are a complete protein source, containing all nine essential amino acids required for muscle growth and repair. They are also rich in vitamins B12, D, and choline, which are crucial for overall health.
3. Protein Powder: Adding a scoop of your favorite protein powder boosts the protein content of the French toast, helping to support muscle growth and recovery. Choose a high-quality protein powder that suits your dietary needs and preferences.
4. Unsweetened Almond Milk: Almond milk is a dairy-free alternative that provides a creamy texture to the French toast. It is low in calories and rich in vitamins E and D, making it a great addition to this recipe.
5. Vanilla Extract: Apart from its aromatic properties, vanilla extract adds a hint of sweetness without the need for excess sugar. It also contains antioxidants that help fight inflammation.
6. Cinnamon: Cinnamon is not only a delicious spice but also aids in stabilizing blood sugar levels and improving insulin sensitivity, which can be beneficial for muscle gain.

Tips for Customization:

• Sugar-free maple syrup is worth it. The taste isn’t noticeable. Some items I won’t sacrifice because the flavor drop off is too much, but the sugar-free syrup isn’t noticeable other than the lack of sugar high.
• Experiment with different types of bread, such as whole wheat, multigrain, or sprouted grain, to suit your taste preferences and dietary needs.
• Feel free to add additional flavorings, such as nutmeg or cinnamon, to enhance the taste profile.
• To further boost the protein content, consider adding a dollop of Greek yogurt or a sprinkle of chopped nuts on top.

Consume Before or After Working Out?

The short answer is BOTH.

Eating anabolic french toast prior to working out will give some a quick burst of energy and a higher quality workout. However, you do want to consume protein within 1 hour of working to maximize recovery, so if you don’t have any french toast left, you’ll want a replacement protein source.

Eating after the workout is a great post-workout snack too, and I honestly prefer it over protein bars (I’m just too lazy to make it every day). If you’re like me, you also like working out on an empty stomach and eating after. Ultimately, working out fasted vs non-fasted comes down to the quality of the workout.

With this anabolic French toast recipe, you can enjoy a delicious and muscle-building breakfast that will fuel your workouts and support your fitness goals. By incorporating wholesome ingredients and optimizing the macronutrient profile, you can take your French toast to the next level. Don’t be afraid to get creative with your toppings and customizations to suit your personal preferences. Give this recipe a try and let us know how it works for you. Bon appétit and happy gains!
