The rich almond flavor in this French toast gives it just the perfect touch! I make it with a wholegrain bread (click here for the one I like best) that is high in fiber, low in salt, low in sugar, and has no partially hydrogenated oils (even has lentils, and you know how I feel about those!). This recipe is just enough for 2 slices, and I mean it, the bread will soak it up to the last drop. I like to serve it with fresh strawberries but any other fresh sliced fruit will also do….so YUMMY!

October 7, 2017 at 11:55 amI’m in the process of changing my diet after watching your husband on the video series Awakening from Alzheimer’s. I saw this recipe, and was wondering if I can make enough to last me a week to have for breakfast as I change my course in eating? This way I can heat then in the toaster before work.

October 8, 2017 at 10:30 amHi Debbie, good for you! I don’t think it will easily go in a toaster but you could do even better with oatmeal every day, either made ahead or on the spot–it takes all of 4 minutes– http://cuisinicity.com/simply-oatmeal/ or any of my power shakes on the spot or the night prior: http://cuisinicity.com/cocoa-oat-almond-shake-vegan/ I hope this is a little helpful!
