2013-05-17 07.23.32

Well for anyone out there that wants a quick protein packed breakfast… Here is a SUPER DELISH idea!!

Protein Pancakes:

1/2 cup cottage cheese ( I use fat free)

1/2 cup oats ( I use large flakes)

1/2 cup egg whites

1. Mix all together… whisk so its mixed really good!

2. heat pan to a med-high heat

3. Spray a little cooking oil before you pour your mixture into the pan.

4. Heat 2-3mins then flip 1-2 mins and it done!!! Makes one pancake.

Tips:

If you want extra protein you can add a scoop of your fav protein powder when you are mixing your ingredients… no matter the flavor.. or add blueberries or bananas!!

– Use a sugar free topping or top with yogurt… so many possibilities!

PANCAKES!!!!

pancakes

Okay… Pancakes are a big deal at my house! Every Saturday I make pancakes for the boys… I make a huge batch… They freeze so well! Then during the week, because morning are so hectic, I just grab one outta the freezer and pop’em down in the toaster… VOILA!! Healthy breakfast for the FAM JAM… not processed… they are filled with goodness…. and you can make them whatever color or flavour you want!! LOVE PANCAKES!!!

Lisa’s Pancakes:
1 1/4 cup of flour (use whatever you like but I like whole wheat)
3/4 cup Wheat Bran
1 tbsp. Baking Powder
1 tsp. Baking Soda
1/2 cup Splenda
1/4 tsp. Salt
2 Eggs
1/4 cup Apple Sauce
1 tsp. Vanilla
2 cups of Milk

1. Mix all dry ingredients together
2. In separate bowl mix all the wet ingredients together. Whisk to mix it really well!
3. Combine the wet ingredients and the dry ingredients stirring just until mixed. Do not over mix!
4. Heat your pan or griddle up to a med-high heat. I spray my pan with a little cooking spray. cook for 2-3mins and then flip for 1-2 mins. Makes about 12 pancakes.

Tips:

-When cooking… after each set of pancakes I wipe my pan with a damp cloth or even run it under cool water to maintain a med heat. It keeps the pancake from turning too brown…
– I often add blueberries to my batter or whatever fruit you like… bananas… raspberries… dark chocolate!! Sky is the limit!
-I cool my on a cooling rack before freezing. makes them easier to pull apart when you only need one in the morning.

BALANCE!!!!!

OMG!!!  So…. I try very hard to stay BALANCED!! I believe that it is important to have this value in your life because if not, often it results in negative feelings and stress! It is very difficult at times… and this pass little while has been a struggle!!  As a mother of two small kids with two jobs and I have been solo-parenting since February (Hubby should be home by next week… *happy dance*) things can get crazy!!  The thing is we need to realize that “IT’s OKAY!!!” … just KEEP MOVING FORWARD!!
