High Protein Baked Yogurt Toast
Ingredients:
2 slices of Country Split bread
100g Yopro yogurt
35g egg whites
A handful of blueberries (use fresh or frozen)
15g protein powder (we recommend Uvolve Wellness Mix-In Collagen Protein for an extra protein boost!)
20ml Queens sugar-free maple syrup
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
In a bowl, combine the yogurt, protein powder, egg whites, and sugar-free maple syrup, whisking until smooth.
Take your slices of Country Split bread and create a small divot in the center of each slice using your fingers. This will hold the yogurt mixture.
Fill the divot in each slice with the yogurt mixture and top with a handful of blueberries.
Place the toast slices on a baking tray and bake for 25 minutes until the yogurt filling sets and the bread is golden and crisp.
Enjoy warm!
Extra Tips for Perfect Baked Yogurt Toast:
Choosing the Right Bread: A thicker slice like Country Split bread is ideal because it holds up well when baked. If you prefer, whole grain or sourdough bread adds extra fibre and nutrients.
Customize the Protein Powder: You can use any protein powder in this recipe, from collagen to whey or even plant-based options like pea or hemp protein. Just be mindful of the flavour! Vanilla or unflavored powders work best, but if you're feeling adventurous, try chocolate for a fun twist.
Adding Crunch: For a bit of texture, sprinkle some chia seeds, flaxseeds, or crushed nuts like almonds or walnuts on top before baking. These add healthy fats, fibre, and an extra crunch that pairs perfectly with the creamy yogurt.
Sweeten to Taste: The sugar-free maple syrup keeps this recipe light, but you can swap it out for honey, agave, or regular maple syrup if you prefer. Adjust the amount to suit your taste buds.
Fruit Swaps: Blueberries add a burst of freshness and antioxidants, but feel free to mix it up with raspberries, strawberries, or even sliced bananas. Dried fruits like raisins or apricots also work well!
Nutritional Breakdown:
This baked yogurt toast is not just tasty; it's also packed with nutrients to fuel your day.
Protein Power: With the combination of yogurt, egg whites, and protein powder, this recipe offers a solid boost of protein, supporting muscle recovery and keeping you feeling full for longer.
Low in Sugar: Using sugar-free maple syrup keeps the sugar content low, but the natural sweetness from the blueberries ensures every bite is delicious.
Healthy Fats: Depending on your choice of yogurt, you can also get a dose of healthy fats, which are important for hormone regulation and energy.
Why Protein Matters:
Protein is crucial for maintaining and repairing tissues, including muscles. Starting your day with a protein-packed breakfast helps stabilize your blood sugar levels and keeps cravings at bay. If you’re working out or trying to increase muscle mass, adding extra protein (like collagen powder) can further support your fitness goals.
Collagen protein, like the Uvolve Wellness Mix-In, is also known for its benefits to skin, hair, nails, and joints. It’s an easy way to sneak in extra benefits without changing the flavor or texture of your meals.
Meal Prep and Storage Tips:
Make-Ahead Option: You can prepare these yogurt toasts in advance for a quick breakfast or snack throughout the week. Once baked, allow them to cool, then store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Simply reheat in the oven or toaster oven for a crisp texture, or enjoy cold!
Freezer-Friendly: These toasts can also be frozen for up to 1 month. Just wrap each slice individually and thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating in the oven.
