This Low Calorie High Protein Bread is just 90 calories and has 8.1g of protein per slice! Plus, I supplied tips on increasing the protein even more below! I like to make this low calorie protein bread for protein packed French toast, sandwiches, or avocado toast.

Healthy Protein Bread Meal Prep and Storage

This Low Calorie High Protein Bread is just 90 calories and has 8.1g of protein per slice!
You can use any milk you prefer, and though it will raise calories a bit, cows milk will increase the protein by about 1g per slice.
I used a fancy Artisan Loaf Pan to get the shape, but it’s pricy, so I included a lower cost version below. The shape will be different, but the flavor will be the same.
Special Tip: If you don’t have self-rising flour you can make your own. You’ll need 2 cups of all-purpose flour (or gluten-free 1:1 flour), 3 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees, and spray a loaf pan with olive oil
Add the self rising flour, protein powder, and to a large bowl. Mix together.
Heat the milk in the microwave or on the stovetop until warm, but not boiling.
Add the warmed milk and the olive oil to the bowl. Mix until you have a thick batter.
Add the batter to the prepared loaf pan, spread out until an even layer.
Bake for 20 minutes, then cover with foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
Remove the bread from the oven, and carefully (with oven mitts on) remove the loaf from the pan and move it to a cooling rack to rest for 1 hour minimum.
Use a bread knife to slice into 18 slices, and store in an airtight container in the fridge for 4-5 days or in the freezer for up to a month.
