Filling Breakfast or Post-Workout Snack – Whether you’re starting your day or refuelling after a workout, this toast checks all the boxes.

How to Make Apple Pie Protein Toast
Dice and Cook the Apple
Finely dice your apple and pan-fry for 5 minutes until softened.
Add Flavor
Add the maple syrup and cinnamon and mix until well combined.
Mix the Protein Yogurt
While the apples are cooking, make your protein yogurt by mixing yogurt and protein powder in a small bowl.
Assemble the Toast
Spread your protein yogurt over some toast and top with your sautéed apples and some almond butter.
Recipe Tips for Protein Toast
Make it Nut-Free: Substitute almond butter with sunflower seed butter or tahini to make nut-free protein toast.
Use a Crisp Apple: Honeycrisp apples are ideal for this recipe because they retain their shape while cooking and are naturally sweet. If you can’t find Honeycrisp, try Fuji or Pink Lady as great alternatives.
Toast Matters: Opt for thick-cut sourdough; it’s sturdy enough to hold the toppings without getting soggy. For gluten-free high-protein toast, use gluten-free sourdough or whole-grain bread.
Customize Your Protein: If you don’t have the Vedge Nutrition frosted cinnamon roll flavour, try another vanilla or cinnamon-flavoured plant-based protein powder. Just make sure it mixes well with yogurt.
Jazz it Up: Add toppings like crushed walnuts, chia seeds, or hemp hearts for an extra nutritional boost, or pair it with a smoothie or a warm latte for a complete breakfast.
