Power Protein Pancakes!

OK, it has been way too long since I have blogged! And I know that blogging is something that you have to do regularly if you want people to read your blog, but you're reading this now, right??? So all is well again!!

Anyway, I made some delish protein pancakes this morning post workout, along with my power smoothie.  I had to test and play with 2 batches worth but think I got it down.  They were so yummy, no need for syrup or butter, and hit the spot.  I adapted this from Blogilates who adapted it from the Tone it Up Girls so I have to give credit where credit is due!  Here's my take on the protein pancake:


Power Protein Pancake
1 tsp psyllium husk
1 egg
1/8 - 1/4 c. of coconut milk, vanilla almond milk, or water (I used coconut milk)
1 scoop of Vanilla protein powder (I use either Jay Robb (my fav, but $$), Met RX, or Trader Joes)


Preheat griddle or pan on medium heat and lightly spray with a EVOO or canola cooking spray. Beat egg and add in milk or water.  Add in psyllium husk and scoop of protein powder and beat with fork or mixer.  Check consistency - may be a little runny, but not watery.  I added a little more powder to thicken mine up.


Pour batter, let edges bubble for 2 minutes or so and flip.  These are a little trickier than regular pancake batter so be patient - it took me a few pancakes to get them right.  

Each mix yield 4-5 pancakes - 180 calories total, 7g fat, 9 g carbs, only 3 g of sugar, and 24 g of protein!!




I also ordered the "lazy" protein pancake mix from Met RX - going to play with that as well to taste test if I have to make in a jif.  Let me know if you attempt your Betty Crocker hand and these and how they taste!!
