This French toast recipe is perfect for lazy mornings. You can prepare it the night before (or early in the morning for last-minute types) and baked directly in the oven, so you don’t have to cook each piece of toast in the pan, which will save you time and energy!
With Natrel Plus 2%'s 18 g of protein per 250 ml portion, you’ll stay full until lunchtime. Add raspberries and honey for a sweet touch and toasted pecans for some crunch. There’s honestly nothing better than all of this in the same bite!
