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.

  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!).
