Common Questions
Can I use whole eggs instead?
Yes, but it will change the macros and fat content. Liquid egg whites keep this recipe high in protein and low calorie.
What bread is best?
A thick, slightly dry bread works best for soaking up liquid. Whole grain or sprouted bread adds extra fiber to your meal.
Does it taste like protein powder?
Not at all if you use a high-quality brand. The cinnamon and vanilla mask any protein aftertaste perfectly.
Stop settling for boring breakfasts and start fueling your hustle. You deserve a meal that tastes like a treat but hits your macros. Go crush it!
