♥Pink Power Protein Pancakes ♥

Pink power protein pancakes!

"Use one scoop of whey protein..."

The scoop factor... So there seems to be  no standard of "scoop" out there.  This can be frustrating,  I know. But I will be making a conscious effort to make sure I let you know how much my scoop is. Then there's the liquid to add, that's not always standard either. Because every powder is different it reacts to liquid differently. So always start at the suggested amount and go from there. No matter what recipe you are using there's always a bit of a learning curve. There will be a few batches that are just down right wrong. But with practice you will get the right consistency for your protein powder. Then you will go use a different powder, and mess it up. It just happens. 

So the second holidays are over, we jump right into Valentines *groan*. But, I am a lover and a Fighter... so I couldn't resist the epic cheesiness of Pink Pancakes! Why not. You love yourself right? You love your body right? You want to treat it right.... right? 
Well regardless of your answers, they're strawberry, relax. 

 3 TBS coconut flour
1/4 tsp baking powder
1 scoop of strawberry whey protein (mine measures approx. 1/4 cup, and 1 Tbs)
3 egg whites
1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or to pour able consistency)

Heat pan, or skillet, with oil. Healthy choice: coconut oil, or coconut oil or olive oil spray. Bring down heat to medium. Cook first side until it starts to bubble (about 2 minutes), or you can lift it to flip, and lightly brown. Other side will take less than 2 minutes. 
 This made me about 3 pancakes, none were same size... because that's how I roll.

Fruity Protein Breakfast, and yes, caffeine.

I totally forgot I have my Fruitein , just sitting in my pantry. Silly me I forgot it was a high protein energy shake. Yeah, time to mix it up, and blend it up. I highly recommend this for when you are sick of Vanilla and Chocolate Protein shakes. As summer comesit's time to lighten the flavor woth more fruit. I found a lot of other chocolate and vanilla protein shakes have a strange after taste. That's why I started blending them into shakes!

Now carrying the tradition of caffeinated breakfast shakes heres one I threw together this morning.

When I am not in a rush, aka I remembered to order before I run out I will always try to get Natures Plus.
