I apologize Head to Toe readers for my lack of writing lately. This whole wedding planning thing has been taking up quite a bit more of my time than I expected J But in all good ways!
Anyways, with time being of the essence as always, I have been doing a lot of meal prep lately. My absolute favorite has been a rendition of various protein pancakes for either a quick breakfast or delicious snack. Of course eating more than one as a meal and just one as a snack. I have been trying out a lot of different combos with them and what I have discovered…you cannot go wrong. So in lieu of a post today I am going to share my favorite recipe for protein style pancakes (that can also be made into waffles with a waffle iron) you can mix and match your add ins for different flavors, but stick to your portions. This recipe contains 3 food groups as the base, making it a perfect meal!
The Perfect Pancakes
(*this recipe makes 1 meal or 2-3 snacks)
¼ cup egg whites
1 scoop of protein powder of your choice
½ ripe banana
¼ cup raw rolled oats
Optional add ins
Remember that depending on what you pick, add ins can add up so start with adding one with a caloric impact at a time.
My absolute favorite of the moment is 1 tsp of Matcha + a little cinnamon!
1 tsp. Matcha Green Tea Powder
1 tbsp chia or flax seeds
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon
2 tbsp pure pumpkin puree
1 tsp cocoa powder
2 tbsp PB2
½ cup berries
1 tbsp cacao nibs
Now, if you are not a fan of protein powders try this:
(*this recipe makes 1 meal or 2-3 snacks)
¼ cup raw rolled oats
1/2 ripe banana
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon
2 egg whites or may sub 1 full egg
1/4 cup unsalted cottage cheese (high protein! But be sure to get unsalted)
1 tbsp milk of choice or may use water
Enjoy!
