There is something about being able to eat pancakes without any guilt that makes me so happy! Which is why I absolutely adore protein pancakes. I have tried several times to perfect them, but I seriously struggle with the flip. They always taste great but sometimes they end up looking a little bit like this.
or this…

But today, I got the flip.
I was so excited, I have tried so many times, and this is the first time I actually got it right. I used a different pan and some extra oil. I think the big difference was the pan. You really NEED to use a non-stick pan.
In the pancake mix:
1 banana
1 serving of Vega Sport Vanilla Protein Powder
2 egg whites
handful of frozen berries
Combine all ingredients. Heat pan on medium heat. Add cooking spray to the pan. Pour mixture onto pan to form a pancake. Let pancake heat up and start to bubble around the edges and then flip. Let cook for 1–2 more minutes. Take off pan and EAT!
Top with whatever you want (it’s good plain, with a nut butter or agave nectar – you choose)
This mixture makes 2 big pancakes and comes in around 250 calories. Not too shabby!

It’s Thursday, which means Friday is super close!! Anyone have some great Easter plans?!
I am going to be moving in and settling into my new apartment all weekend. I am in desperate need of furniture. I have always lived with roommates that had everything. Now it’s just me and Vinnie and we have nothing? Where to a find a cheap couch, coffee table, dining table, TV stand, bedside table…. I have some serious shopping to do… I guess that is on the agenda this weekend. eeekkk, I hate spending money. But, wahooo… I get to decorate my first real home of my own!
