Berry Protein Pancakes, Two Ways

MMMMMMMMM! I've tried protein pancakes in the past and they just never really taste good....until now. I made some mixed berry protein pancakes and I made them 2 different ways and both were marvelous! and packed with protein! I'm so full right now and its awesome! haha hope you enjoy!

I used GNC Lean Shake Mixed Berry Protein for both of these recipes because that's all I had. I think they would be great with just a vanilla whey protein though, I often use Optimum Nutrition Vanilla Hydrowhey so when I get some more of it I will surely be giving it a try. Feel free to use any type of protein you like though.

Protein Pancakes, Take 1 (this one is my favorite)

Ingredients:

• 1 cup egg whites
• 1/2 cup protein powder
• 2 tbsp cottage cheese
• 1/4 cup rolled oats
• 2 tbsp whole wheat flour
• 2 tsp ground flax seed
• 1 tsp baking powder
• handful fresh or frozen blueberries (optional)
• Coconut oil for frying
• maple syrup for serving

Directions:

• Place all the ingredients in a blender (I used my GNC personal blender) and blend it all up until fairly smooth
•  Place 1/4-1/2 cup mixture into a preheated and greased pan, when little bubbles form its time to flip
• Devour those suckers!

• 2 tsp ground flax seed
• handful blueberries (optional)
• coconut oil for frying
