Good Morning Protein Pancakes !

Hi guys! How has everyone been enjoying their holiday weekend so far?! I hope everyone has been enjoying this beautiful weather :)
This post is actually for yesterday's challenge. I was busy with work and holiday cookouts and did not have time to fill you guys in on my challenge, so here we go!

Yesterday's challenge was...

PROTEIN PANCAKES! ...yum!

I've been wanting to try making protein pancakes for awhile, and decided to yesterday morning on a whim. For my first try at protein pancakes, I think I did a considerably good job. They came out pretty good! I'm going to have to tweak the recipe a bit next time because the protein was a bit strong in the pancakes, but here is the recipe I used today:

this is the whey that I used for
my pancakes today. Vanilla wheybolic.
Find it at your local GNC

1/2 cup dry oatmeal (plain)
1/2 cup whole wheat pancake mix

approx. 2 tbs of skim milk (add until mix has a not to thick consistency)

1 full scoop of vanilla protein powder 

pinch of cinnamon 

I also added a handful of fresh blueberries, blackberries and chopped pecans, just for personal taste - add anything that your heart desires, chocolate, banana, walnuts..etc 

Mix all the ingredients together and make as you would make normal pancakes. 

I really enjoyed these pancakes and am glad I tried making them. Next time I make them, I think I will try adding a little more oatmeal so the protein flavor isn't so overpowering. I may also try chocolate protein powder, just because I am a chocolate lover. 

Let me know if you guys give this recipe a try! Have any of you ever tried protein pancakes before? What recipes have you tried? Any suggestions for something I could change in my recipe?! 

I'll be adding another post tonight for today's challenge, make sure you guys check it out later tonight! 

What's everyone doing today to stay fit and healthy?!! 

I know it's a holiday, and a "cheat day" is okay to have once in awhile, but remember: don't throw away your weeks workout for too many goodies and holiday treats!! 

Enjoy the rest of your weekend everyone! 

Love,
