It makes you feel like you are eating the most decadent French Toast but really you are doing yourself a favor by adding the extra protein boost in the most delicious way. Treat yourself this weekend or prep it for meals later this week, either way you are going to love it!

Why You Will Love This Strawberry Cheesecake Glaze

This glaze is filled with protein from the added boost of proteing powder and the yummy cheesecake flavor from the cottage cheese, which is also adding some extra protein!

The sweet and tart taste of strawberries are the perfect compliment to the sweetness from the french toast. This glaze adds just the right amount of tangy from the cottage cheese as well.

The glaze holds well over a few days in the fridge. This makes it a perfect item to meal prep and you can treat yourself every morning of the week! French toast can also freeze really well and then it just needs to be heated quick in the morning to make this a super delicious and healthy breakfast.

Storage and Meal Prep Tips

Glaze tip – Make sure to stash the glaze in an air tight container in the fridge. It is best to eat this within four days of preparation to keep the quailty of the food and the germies down.

French Toast tip – To have a more custard-like center of the bread make sure to let the slice of bread soak in the egg mixture for a minute or two on each side. Store cooked French Toast in the freezer in an air tight container or baggie to keep it fresh for days.
