Tasty Tuesday | French Toast the Fixate Way

Good morning! So last week I didn’t give you a recipe for tasty Tuesday and that is totally my bad. We had quite a bit happening at the Tyree home. I’m so happy I can come to you today because I have such a delicious recipe for you & it is kid friendly!

I was looking through my favorite healthy cooking show on Beachbody on Demand called Fixate, and I came across this easy breakfast recipe. Actually, it doesn’t even have to be a breakfast meal. Sometimes we have breakfast for dinner, so it’s totally up to you. Time to dig into this recipe!

Ingredients: 

4 eggs

1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk

2 Tbsp pure maple syrup

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp sea salt (or Himalayan salt)

8 slices low-sodium sprouted whole-grain bread

Fresh strawberries

Other:

1 Medium bowl

1 large dish

Skewers

Cutting board

Directions:

Crack 4 large eggs in a medium bowl and beat.

Add 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk

Add 2 Tbsp pure maple syrup

Add 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Add 1/2 tsp sea salt or Himalayan salt & set your bowl aside.

Preheat your pan.

Now return to your bowl and whisk all your ingredients together, then transfer the mix into a large dish.

Place your slices of sprouted whole-grain bread into the mix & hold it for 10 seconds on each side.

Lay your wet slices of bread into your preheated pan.

Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until its golden brown.

Once done, cut French toast into thirds so it can fit on your skewer.
Prep your strawberries:

Wash your strawberries & pat dry.

Get your cutting board.

Remove the tops and cut strawberries in half.

Leave fruit on the cutting board.

Alternate strawberries & French toast onto skewer. And place on a plate.
