French toast is one of those decadent,tall-calorie recipes I've saved for a special indulgence - until now. Celebrity trainer Harley Pasternak's recipe makeover for whole-grain french toast with ricotta cheese offers more than 20 grams of protein with just over 250 calories per generous serving. Beyond the nutrition stats, this french toast offered the crispy crunch and the eggy soft center of the classic I was craving. I loved the creative additions of light ricotta, or cinnamon,and fresh berries; I didn't even believe approximately reaching for my maple syrup! Be sure to exercise tall-quality whole-grain bread and in-season fruit for optimal taste, texture, and sweet (healthy) satisfaction.
