Chocolate Protein Pancakes

I realized something today…I will look at just about ANY recipe as long as the word “protein” is somewhere in the title. Protein cookies, protein waffles, protein pizza, protein wraps, etc.

Well out of all those recipes, I’m probably going to have to say that my favourite will always be the good ole traditional protein pancake. Some protein pancake recipes call for flour, oils, and lots of ingredients but I like this recipe because it only consists of two main ingredients: oats and egg whites. No blender needed!

Simple.

Easy.

Delicious.

So today after my workout I decided I wanted a second round of these babies but I wanted some more protein then just the egg whites. So I came up with this super quick recipe.

Ingredients:

4 egg whites

1/2 scoop Dymatize Elite Chocolate Whey

1/2 cup oats

Directions:

Mix it up in a small bowl and cook on the skillet as if it were a pancake:)

You can also add 1/2 banana in the batter for extra carbs. It’s up to you, have fun with it!

Top with  chocolate PB2 (if you’re eating this post workout, avoid regular peanut butter. The only time you should avoid fats is PWO. Opt for PB2 instead!)

My workout was chest, tricep abs and extra bicep work. I curled 60 lbs for the first time (without any help from a spotter) and I was so ridiculously happy. I had a little bit of a rough start to the morning but it’s crazy what a good workout session will do for the attitude. Oh and that fact that some handsome gentleman arrived at my door holding these didn’t hurt either:)

So, so so sweet. I’m such a lucky girl. It’s also  amazing what a beautiful bouquet of flowers will do to the heart:)

Hope you enjoy the recipe, happy Friday!

What are your plans for the weekend?
