Skinny Peanut Butter French Toast

Tired of being grownup? Tired of being "responsible" when it comes to nutrition? Do you secretly wish you could just throw caution to the wind and just be a kid again? Well, you can -- and without all the really ugly consequences!


A skinny, healthier version of a childhood favorite! This recipe is diabetic friendly and a lot less likely to rouse someone's sugar monster.


The lowest Points Plus Option is 5; the highest is 8. Protein ranges from 21g to 24g. Fat ranges from 1.5g to 11g. All options have 6g fiber. 


Slenderella only makes enough for 1 at a time -- helps diffuse the YUM! factor . . .
