Sunday I woke up craving a really GOOD breakfast… I couldn’t decide between Oatless Cinnamon Scramble, Oatmeal Breakfast Parfait, or Protein Pancakes…
Well pancakes won, and I am glad they did!
Easy Protein Pancakes
Ingredients:
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
2 egg whites
1 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp almond flour
water
Directions:
Mix first 4 ingredients together in a bowl until smooth.
Add water in small amounts until batter is the consistency you want.
Toppings:
I topped mine with a little bit of Nikki’s coconut butter- honey pecan flavor (prob 1/2 tbsp)
Crunchy Almond Butter
Any kind of berries you want
** Put almond butter between pancakes so it melts and makes like a pancake sandwich :)

After breakfast I went to the gym. I originally planned on doing triceps but they were sore from crossfit on Saturday (prob from the barbel roll out) so I just did a short workout off of the top of my head when I got there!
I had lots to do so I did this workout in about 35-40 min.
I got to spend the day with my two good friends Ashlee and Miranda. Our lunch turned into like a 3 hour chat session. What can I say, It’s good to be around your girlfriends :)

For dinner I quickly whipped up a microwaveable English muffin and had a toasted turkey, egg, and cheese sandwich!
Laughing cow cinnamon cream cheese makes everything better!
Nothing to crazy for dinner since I had people coming over for my wildtree party.

Catching up with girlfriends is always the best, especially when good food is involved. Hope your week is off to a great start, love!

Oh, I love seeing other’s recipes for protein pancakes. I make pancakes almost every morning (no lie), and it’s fun to change up the recipe a bit.
Love the flashback photos!
Devon @ Health in Equilibrium
I love how your clean recipes are always so simple! I never make pancakes because they have too many ingredients, but I could definitely get on board with these…

Love protein pancakes! Where is your almond butter from?
Fitcupcaker
I usually get it from trader joes, but this jar was from Kroger.

Those protein pancakes look so fluffy!
Alex @ Cookie Dough Katzen
Oh an almond butter pancake sandwich sounds so good. I just recently discovered adding pb or almond butter to my oatmeal and pancakes and it’s so good when it’s warm. Yum!
