Challah French Toast + Stonyfield OP Smoothie Review

This post was created in partnership with Stonyfield. As always, all opinions are 100% my own.

My husband and I have an understanding. I do most of the dinner cooking, and he does most of the breakfast cooking once the weekend rolls around.

So when a big snowstorm was heading out way (again), and his office was predicted to be closed the next day, he came home with a killer loaf of Challah from a bakery in NYC to make one of our favorites – Challah French Toast.

Challah is fluffy, eggy and delicious, and works so beautifully as the base of French toast. I really liked that the loaf he bought had poppy seeds on it, too, because it added a nice bit of crunch. This is definitely one of my favorite, indulgent breakfasts.

Side note: if you have any leftover Challah, it’s ridiculously good as a Challah Nutella Banana Panini. Trust.

Instructions

1. Heat griddle to medium-high. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla and cinnamon. When the griddle is hot, add a tablespoon each of butter and oil and spread around until melted.
2. Dip slices of Challah into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak in for a few seconds before flipping over to soak into the opposite side. Place onto the hot griddle and allow to cook until nicely browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. You can transfer the cooked slices to a baking sheet and place in a warm oven until the rest are finished, if desired.
3. Serve with a drizzle of maple syrup and a nice sprinkling of powdered sugar. Enjoy!

Indulgent breakfasts like this one are nice on occasion, but there are days when I need to grab something on the go. Stonyfield recently sent me samples of their new line of OP (Organic Protein) Smoothies. A lot of bottled smoothies are loaded with artificial ingredients and sweeteners, but these are 100% organic with no pesticides, hormones, antibiotics or GMOs.

OP Smoothies come in chocolate, vanilla (my favorite!) and strawberry and pack in 15 grams of protein per bottle, which is a nice boost when you’re on the go. These smoothies totally saved the day when we had to wake up early and run out before breakfast, and are a nice pre-yoga treat as well. A few people on Instagram asked me about the sugar content, so you can see the nutritional information here.
