Protein Pancakes

We love "pannacakes" in this house. I had to stop making them as much (which was like 2-3 times a week) since they're so high in the not-so-good carbs and fat, not including the syrup.

Every other blog I read, I've seen versions of the protein pancake. I finally found a version I could get with on the Tone It Up! site tonight. Luckily I had most of the ingredients on hand, because I was too impatient to try tomorrow. It's missing a few of the ingredients I would of normally had, but I need to go grocery shopping. They taste fine anyway. Enjoy!

Protein Pancake

1/4 cup of egg white

1 scoop of protein powder

2 tbsp of skim milk

1 tsp of cinnamon

*1/2 banana, mashed

*1 tbsp of ground flax seed

*handful of fresh or frozen blueberries, for topping

(* = the ingredients I didn't have. Will try later.)

One didn't make it before I remembered to take a picture.

This has now been added to the breakfast routine. It'll look better next time I try it. With this, I met my protein goal for the day. It was 114 calories (makes 2 servings) and 13.6 grams of protein. 

"Proper" Cereal Portion

My cereal preference is 1 cup of any Fiber One brand or Cheerios.  One serving of cereal is usually 1 cup, but Fiber One's Original (pictured) serving size is actually 1/2 cup.  

1 cup of cereal + 1/2 of large banana + 1/2 cup of 2% milk = 242 calories

*I know Fiber One is on the costly side, but there's always coupons. Sometimes I purchase mine from a nearby discount store for $1.50.

*I posted this before I started drinking Skim milk.  Skim milk will obviously decrease the calorie count.
