How was everyone’s weekend?
Mine? In one word – SPLENDID!
Travis and I enjoyed a kid-free day in Asheville (thank you, Nan!), complete with a full body massage, a fancy hair cut and a trip to Greenlife!
The rest of the weekend we spent RESTING! I’m subbing for another teacher this week, so I took two VERY NEEDED rest days (and am antsy to get back at it tomorrow. That’s what rest days do for me – get me pumped to work out the next day!).
Today, I have a fun little giveaway for you guys!
I’ve fallen in love.
(not to be confused with lust. Lust is when you want something so bad that you can’t have.)
You CAN have this.
And not feel one bit of remorse for it.
Lauren recently sent me a little foodie care package (she being the foodie, not me) and inside, I found these p28 bagels!
Check these stats!
28 grams of protein, thus the product name.
The ingredient list is pretty great too. No HFCS or wonky stuff. 100% whole wheat!
I immediately took one out, toasted it and topped it with sunflower butter and fresh, locally grown strawberries.
Heaven.
The consistency is chewy. The flavor – cinnamony. It’s a word.
As you know, I strive for a high protein, high fiber diet. I’ve found that focusing on increasing my protein keeps me looking lean and feeling FULL!
I love that this product line feels like comfort food but doesn’t destroy all my hard work!
Like any good blogger, I contacted the company and asked if I could do a review/giveaway! A couple of days later, I received a care package of high protein goodness – bagels AND bread! Then I got to playing around in the kitchen and came up with this creation.
p28 Stuffed French Toast
%20-%20http%3A%2F%2Flindsayslist.co "Pin It")
Ingredients:
- 2 slices p28 High Protein Bread
- 2 tbsp natural peanut butter
- 3 sliced strawberries
- 1/2 cup liquid egg whites
- 1 tbsp ground flax
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Combine egg whites, flax, cinnamon and vanilla in a large bowl. Make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich (except there’s no jelly – slice 3 strawberries and lay them atop the peanut butter). Dip the sandwich into the egg white wash. Coat pan with non-stick spray and cook, flipping once. Top with fresh berries or syrup of your choice.
Here’s the nutritional breakdown (cal/carb/fat/protein):
52 grams of protein!! Tons of fiber! A great meal to fuel your day (or eat for dinner like we did!).

Love to mix protein powders into baked items and snacks!
Tweeted!
I eat a lot of beans! ;)
I love adding Greek yogurt and egg whites to baked goods.
Hmm, I pretty much put Chobani in EVERYTHING I make. I need an intervention.
I use protein powder instead of creamer in my iced coffee. Or for a busy morning I combine coffee and breakfast in a smoothie with greek yogurt, protein powder, frozen berries and iced coffee instead of milk or water.
These look amazingly delish!!
I want to try these SOOOO bad!!! I increase my protein by adding whey protein powder to my a.m. spinach smoothies. YUMM!
i’m DYINGGGGGGG to try these bagels!! haha a tip for me is i’ve been increasing my morning egg whites by another egg white! and increasing my lunch protein to MORE!! <333 PROTEINNNN
I eat a lot of eggs…pretty much daily!
Greek yogurt & protein powder for this vegetarian! :)
I try to get more protein daily by eating eggs, greek yogurt, and adding a scoop of protein powder to smoothies.
just tweeted about the giveaway! (@Danica _ipnp)
I’ve been eying these! I’ve been increasing my protein a lot – everything from vegan powders, greek yogurt, love beans on with lunch and dinner! My favorite right now is tempeh – 4:1 ratio of protein to fat.
I’ve been working on upping my protein intake for months now…I try to take it meal by meal and make sure that I’m always including whole protein-packed foods.
I like to replace some wheat flour with almond meal, chickpea flour or quinoa flour.
I like to replace some wheat flour with quinoa flour, chickpea flour or almond meal.
Scoop of protein powder in my smoothies and added to baked muffins/bread
I’ve been increasing my protein intake through eggs, protein shakes and beans. I’m a vegetarian so sometimes I feel like I have to work a bit harder to get my protein. But darn it, I’ll do it!
I tweeted! :)
Greek yogurt, quinoa, and eggs are my go-to for extra protein!
i shared on FB
Greek yogurt, eggs, Peanut butter are my go to proteins. I’m trying to add more protein powder.
I shared on facebook!!!
PB, EGG WHITES, COTTAGE CHEESE (which I literally put on anything and everything!) Yummy!
I use Magnum Quattro protein as a breakfast shake pre-weights and post workout as well so I’m getting my most important protein intake of the day in and around my weight lifting workouts.
I’ve also tweeted, followed and liked them!
So glad to find this bread! I have been looking for a healthified and natural bread for my kiddos. We eat lots of nut butters and greek yogurt for extra protein!
I try to eat some plain Greek yogurt for extra protein every day!
I add protein powder to smoothies or oatmeal to boost my protein. But, if I won this, I’d have bread to go with my scrambled eggs. Awesome!
I add protein powder to pretty much EVERYTHING to increase my protein intake. I blend protein powder with oatmeal…pudding….baking mixes….greek yogurt…the list goes on!!
I usually get a protein bar in there somewhere throughout the day.
I tweeted!!
Oh man I totally want to try this stuff!! It sounds amazing. I try to amp up my protein with snacks that include greek yogurt, cottage cheese, or protein powder!
I shared on my FB page Eat Run Sail
Thanks for the opportunity to try this product. Your review makes it sound soooo appealing.
I tweeted but had to shorten it a bit to do it!
I’m stuck on protein shakes at the moment.
Shared the giveaway on Facebook!
P.S. I want your abs!!! Amazing Lindsay! They look awesome!
Tweeted!
I tweeted the giveaway!!! :)
I eat greek yogurt all the time! I also eat peanut butter and bananas basically every day. It’s my favorite snack!
I’m working on increasing my protein intake now! I didn’t realize I wasn’t eating enough protein but I always wondered why I was never completely satisfied with my meals. So now I try to make sure I have egg whites at least once a day (either for breakfast or my morning snack) and since I’m a vegetarian I try to also incorporate plain greek yogurt into my snacks (usually topped with walnuts and fruit).
Cottage cheese!! It’s as versatile as oats in that it is great sweet or savory!
Tweeted and Facebooked. I want to win – you know I love this bread (and I need to get crackin’ on that French Toast!!)
Shared on Facebook Thanks so much!
Peanut butter with apples or celery adds protein
My favorite protein boost is adding chocolate protein powder to my Greek yogurt!
I add protein powder and eggwhites to everything I can think of–smoothies, yogurt, and my morning bowl of oats. And speaking of oats…I recently switched from eating rolled oats to eating oat bran, there is 50% more fiber AND protein in the bran!!!
I tweeted!!
cinnamony is totally a word!! :-) I like to increase protein by eating hardboiled eggs and protein shakes!
Tweeted!
Lately I’ve been adding hardboiled eggs to my usual overnight oats combo. I also try to incorporate protein into my snacks such as tuna salad with whole wheat crackers or beef jerky (sounds weird but is seriously good!).
I pump up my oatmeal with cottage cheese! I also try to eat a protein source at every snack.
adding extra milk to my coffee. extra protein AND extra calcium :)
I love cereal for breakfast, but use soy milk mixed with my chocolate protein powder instead of just plain milk. Super delicious and so much more protein!
Shared this post on facebook! :)
I add a handful of beans (usually chickpeas) to my salads for an extra kick of protein :)
I enjoy making protein pancakes. Easy, delicious, high protein and low carb!
Greek Yogurt is my favorite way to get some protein. Egg whites are second
i tweeted!
instead of eating only eggwhites, i eat the whole egg (yolk included) because that increases the protein!! (these bagels/ breads sound AMAZING!)
always the protein shakes…also, lots of greek yogurt!
YAY!!!!! I’ve been waiting for this recipe. I showed my hubby this morning and he said, “Yeah, get on that. I want that for breakfast.” hahaha! If I can find the bread, it looks like I’ll be making this for Father’s Day this weekend
I always try to bring one of my homemade protein bars with me when I am on the go!
my tip: win lindsay’s giveaway. eat p28 bread.
My favorite tip is to add cottage cheese to my Greek yogurt for a extra boost of protein. That and I aim to have protein in some form at every meal and snack… Little bits add up throughout the day!
Love incoporating greek yogurt into my diet!

Love incorporating greek yogurt into my diet!
Oooooh kayyyy, so this is relatively unrelated, but a drag queen friend of mine sings a song called “pretty pink panties”, and it’s been running through my head since I saw the above pic on IG on Saturday.
I add protein powder to my oatmeal.

I make a protein shake every morning with chia seeds in it :)
I add chia seeds and protien powder or greek yogurt to my smoothis.
These look great! For extra protein I always add a little protein powder to my greek yogurt or add egg whites to oatmeal!
Ah I’ve had this bread on my “to try” list for like, a year now! One tip to add protein everyday is to add a scoop of protein powder to your smoothie! Simple but a lot of people actually don’t use protein powder, I’ve noticed…
I add eggs or protein powder to oatmeal. Also make my own raw bars with protein powder and nut butter and add protein powder or extra whites to waffles and pancakes.
I eat a protein bar for breakfast every morning. Boring, I know, but it has helped out.

I try to add protein powder to things like coffee and yogurt so that I get enough protein each day. I’m trying to gain weight, but want to keep lean muscle so protein is really really important!
I tweeted! @coffeeckecardio
i shared on facebook. and added you :)
I try to have eggs with breakfast and tuna with my lunch. Beans are also my best friend!
i tweeted. @AccidentlyDlish
I am currently in a weight gain program and being a vegetarian, sometimes it’s hard to get a lot of protein in. This would be a great way to get more protein in so I can build those muscles! And they look super tasty!!
Shared on my Facebook wall too – Thanks!
Add a scoop of protein powder to smoothies!
I also tweeted this out :)

i tweeted!
i always try to pack in a decent amount of protein (at least 10 grams or so) at each meal and snack, and i also try to have a protein heavy meal at lunch or dinner.
I tweeted
mm yummmm. I started making dessert hummus, so for a snack I have chickpeas ground with PB and some fruit!
Just tweeted!
Cottage cheese has been my go to protein source lately! I love it for snacks or mixed into oatmeal or omlettes!
Love the sound of this! I too strive for a higher protein diet and I try to vary my protein sources. One of my current faves is adding hemp seeds to my smoothies.
These sound amazing – I wish they sold them in stores near me (Raleigh, NC!).
I am trying to increase my protein intake – right now, I start each morning off w/a smoothie made with ON vanilla protein, Chobani 0% plain greek yogurt, skim milk and frozen berries. YUM!
I like to start off with a good amount of protein in the morning, and am aiming for more now that I want to start toning up and slimming down!
tweeted!
I always add a little bit of protein powder to foods/drinks.
I add protein powder to oatmeal or make protein powder/pb2 cookies. Yum!
tweeted!
ummmm yes please! i add greek yogurt to my smoothies and try to add beans or lentils to almost anything i’m making for dinner!
Yay, this sounds great! Winner or not, I will have to look into this P28 brand! I’ve been eating greek yogurt as a way to get more protein in my day. I always seem to struggle with getting enough. I saw a huge weight loss this week, and feel that it was greatly impart to the greek yogurt.
I liked p28 on facebook! Love this company!
I liked you on facebook!
I am always upping my protein by adding in protein powder or extra cottage cheese to my salads!
I loooove carbs so bread with lots of protein is right up my ally! I eat a lot of greek yogurt to up my protein intake!
Wow – 29g of protein in bread? That really is crazy! I increased my protein this morning by sprinkling PB2 on my granola. Yum!
I tweeted here: https://twitter.com/wishandwhimsy/status/212164847843028993
This sounds amazing. I’m always watching my protein intake. My best advice is to track everything you eat. I use the app Lose It! to keep track of my foods. I used to do this for calorie reasons, but now I am able to track the nutrients I put into my body. By recording what I eat, I can monitor how much more grams of protein I need to meet my daily goal.
I always try to eat at least 30+ grams of protein for breakfast to leave me feeling full till lunch – these bagels would be perfect to get the job done!
I tweeted!
When I first saw Lauren with these, I was definitely intrigued. I reaaaaaaaaaaaaally want to try these bagels! I don’t think they sell them in Colorado though (I will have to research a bit more though…maybe I can buy them online!) My favorite protein packed snack is a Strawberry & Banana Chobani mixed with a Tbsp of PB2 powder. It’s like PB&J in a cup :)
I shared on FB!
i’m following @P28Bread
I increase my protein by drinking a protein shake daily – but I also use protein powders in other ways. They can add great flavor to plain yogurt – and also mix well with Peanut Flour!
I tweeted the giveaway
I put greek yogurt on top of everything now for some extra protein!
Great giveaway!!
I add either egg whites or protein powder to my oats in the morning. Yum.
Your weekend Sounds like it was fabulous! I had 2 rest days too, and I am super excited for my multiple class day today! Reset button pressed.
My way to increase protein would be to have an egg white shake and add a scoop of protein powder and some cocoa powder, tastes just like a milkshake :)
Tweeted your giveaway as well!
I would love to win. I would also love to hear more about your Asheville trip. I love Asheville. And yes, I just used the word love in three sentences in a row.
Shared on Facebook too – thank you so much as I’d never heard of this and would love to try some protein bread!
Tweeted your giveaway link!
Greek yogurt over regular yogurt for more protein!
Oooooh our house would love to try!
My tip? Ostrich jerkee :-)
