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!
