Protein Pancake – for Pancake Tuesday
Today is the day that traditionally everyone eats pancakes, unfortunately for me I am 7.5 weeks out from my first competition and am not breaking for a cheat meal mid-week; and I don’t care that EVERYONE ELSE IS DOING IT LOL.
So I decided to make a special protein pancake that fits in perfectly with my diet, and here it is for all to share. I will add photos later – I am not making mine till before my workout this afternoon because I am currently doing targeted carbs.
To make 1 pancake:
- 1/2 cup of rye flakes (you can also use oats) – remove these if you are not having carbs at all
- 1 scoop protein powder – I like chocolate but any flavour works well
- 1 whole egg
- 1/2 cup Egg Whites – or if you are breaking eggs then it would be an extra 3
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp almond flavouring
That is the base – what you add after that is your choice. I will be adding 10g berries, 35g banana and 1 tbsp peanut butter (no added sugar or salt). I have found that a non-stick pan works best and I cook mine in good oil for some extra good fats.
If you still want some of the treat of Pancake Tuesday why not add a tsp of honey?? Enjoy
