Protein Panckakes!
Generally, pancakes are something to avoid when looking to achieve fat loss goals. The version grandma used to make is typically low in protein and fiber, and very high in simple carbs, which equals increased cravings and a diet disaster later in the day.
However, with these two recipes, pancakes can now be added back into the nutritional mix! They’re easy to make, and best of all delicious to eat!
The first recipe is compliments of Jayson Hunter, Registered Dietition, and co-owner of the supplement line that we carry called ProGrade. To get the recipe, CLICK HERE.
The second recipe is by yours truly, and goes as follows…
2 C whole wheat flour
3 tsp. baking powder
1 Scoop Vanilla Protein powder
2 C skim or 2% milk (more if needed to thin)
3 egg white
1/4 C EVOO (extra virgin olive oil) or Canola Oil
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Heat skillet or griddle to 375 degrees. In large bowl, combine all ingredients. Mix until large lumps disappear. Pour about 1/4 cup batter into hot skillet. Turn pancakes when edges look cooked and bubbles begin break on surface.
You can also add 1/2 C fresh blueberries to either recipe.
Make sure not to drown your pancakes in syrup… and to use pure maple syrup, not maple flavored syrup…
