Protein Pancake Recipe!

I’m constantly in the process of adding more protein in my diet. When my diet is well-balanced and high in protein it always keeps me fuller longer, and keeps my energy levels balanced throughout the day. While I do love my crockpot chicken and smoothies, I also like to mix things up every now and then and here is one of my favorite ways.

This “pancake” is more of a sweet omelet consistency than an actual pancake but I promise it tastes good and is packed with protein. I like to use shakeology for my protein base to up the nutritional value and add in extra vitamins and minerals but any brand works. You could even blend a handful of spinach into the egg whites to add some extra greens.

Ingredients: 

• 3/4 cup egg whites
• 1/2 scoop protein
• 1/2 tsp. baking powder

Directions: 

1. In a mixing bowl whisk together all ingredients.
2. Meanwhile heat a skillet sprayed with coconut oil over medium heat.
3. Pour the egg white mixture in the pan cover and cook 1-2 minutes.
4. Flip your “pancake” and cook 1 minute longer.
5. Top with toppings of your choice (my favorite is peanut butter but almost anything would be great!).
