Protein Packed Cakes

Recipes

13 Feb

Happy Monday! I didn’t realize I was wrong on Sunday set up and my schedule called for 4 miles today with some strength thrown in. So, I did 4 miles and will do my strength after my morning client.

You guys know I have a deep passionate love for pancakes. It’s almost inappropriate (well at least the noises I make when I eat them are). Luckily, I know how to bust out a healthy pancake so it’s not like I’m eating Chocolate Chip Banana Pancakes 5 days a week (no, we save that for Saturdays).

My pumpkin pancake recipe is my “go to” breakfast, but I wanted to try and pump up the protein in it. So this morning I made flourless pancakes and substituted protein powder for the flour (or oatmeal).IMG_6082 (800x533)

The guts:

  • 1/2c egg whites
  • 1 scoop vanilla whey protein
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda and baking powder
  • dash salt, pumpkin pie spice
  • packet of stevia
  • 1 tsp chia seeds
  • 1/4 pumpkin (optional)

The glory: IMG_6088 (800x533)

(They are a little flat and more crepe-like than fluffy pancake, but they’re tasty!)

The necessary side dish: iced coffeeIMG_6085 (800x533)

I chomped on my blueberries while cooking – Costco has Organic Blues for cheap right now!IMG_6091 (800x533)

Remember my cool red shoes Mizuno sent me?monica in red mizunos

Well, I’ve heard they are impossible to find! The company is giving away a pair here (this has nothing to do with RER, just a PSA).

Question: Does anyone have the day off work for Lincoln’s Birthday?

Here’s an article from CSM about why his birthday isn’t a federal holiday

      I have every Monday off so technically I did have it off. Monday holidays are a pain though because those are my days to do my own thing and everything tends to be busier and there is more traffic. Even though yesterday isn’t a common holiday for most, the stores and Target were packed.

      I’ve made pancakes with protein powder + oats, but never with just protein powder. I know what I’m having for breakfast tomorrow..!

      I am off the 20th because it is my birthday and I scheduled the day off to chill out around the house. Cake totally optional.

      I unintentionally got today off by contracting the norovirus (aka the stomach flu). 🙁 Watch out for it – if you’re in the New Jersey area – Princeton and Rider University is having an outbreak. I went to Princeton for a basketball game on Saturday and came home with it. AGH!

        Originally I said pink, but they’re more a light red now that I think about it? They’re pink in my heart.

      My husband didn’t even get President’s Day off. I just assume any holiday means he’s working and am pleasantly surprise if that’s ever not the case!

      My brother has today off – for Lincoln’s birthday. AND he gets next Monday off too. I was so jealous until he said that he was going in today anyway.
