Gingerbread French Toast

This was the perfect brunch for Christmas Day and it is also healthy. 

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup almond milk OR 2% milk
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/4 cup vanilla Shakeology or other protein powder
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
• 1 tsp ginger
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 6 slices of italian, french, or whole grain bread

Directions:

1. Whisk together egg mixture in a shallow bowl, and set aside. Spray a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray, and heat over medium heat.
2. Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture just before you place it in the skillet, turning to evenly coat both sides of each slice. Place bread into the skillet; cooking about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown on both sides. Repeat with remaining bread slices. Serve with low sugar syrup and cinnamon if desired.

My friends and I enjoyed having an extra side of fruit on the side. As a holiday spin we also did a banana strawberry candy cane which was also a hit.
