Spinach Protein “Bread”

14

Apr

I decided to make some spinach protein “bread.” Decided I needed something crunchy and wanted to sneak in some vegetables

So I tweaked my previous recipe: high protein, low carb mock focaccia.

Here’s what I did:

Preheat oven to about 400 degrees. Spray a pan with non-stick spray. In a bowl, mix:

• 1 tbsp baking powder
• into ½ cup 0% FAGE yogurt.
• Add: 1 tbsp unprocessed bran
• ½ cup Egg whites
• 2 tbsp Italian seasoning mix + oregano + parsley + garlic + pepper
• 2 scoops Unflavored protein powder (I used Jay Robb Unflavored Whey Powder)
• 1 large handful of spinach, torn into little pieces

Pour the mixture into the sprayed pan.

Let sit for about 5 min, then put it in the oven for about 15 min.

Here’s the awesome part (inspired by this post by Deb). This made it taste INFINITELY BETTER!..BEFORE I MADE THE SANDWICH, I TOASTED IT! OMG IT IMPROVED THE TEXTURE!! MUCCH BETTER! YAY!

Popping it into the oven

Out of the oven

"Bread" cut lengthwise then cut into 8 pieces

TOASTED!!! ...with the spread

Sandwich! ->Toasted spinach protein "bread" + organic mustard + romaine lettuce + grilled chicken breast + cucumber

   Love this! I made one with sun dried tomatoes, artichokes, broccoli and other veggies but
   never plain spinach! Caramelized red peppers are great in it too! I add a tb of whole
   grain mustard and it really ups the flavor and texture! So does salsa actually! Toasting it ALWAYS improves the taste! Agreed!!! Great recipe!
   Thanks

   Can you use soy protein powder (not flour)?
