It’d be a shame to waste a half-eaten loaf of bread, just because it had become a little stale. That’s, of course, the best excuse for splurging on a stack of French toast come Saturday morning, after a week’s worth of sandwiches didn’t quite empty the bag. Rather than soaking those slightly stiff slices in a shallow pan of a traditional egg-and-milk mixture, stir in some flavored protein powder and cinnamon for an extra-nutritious and delicious breakfast treat! You might even find yourself switching to salads for lunch so more of the next loaf can go toward repeating this recipe next weekend.
