This morning, in order to feel excited about going back to work after 17 days away, I decided to make a healthy breakfast . . . and I wanted to kick off the day on a positive note!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Perhaps I went a bit overboard with the pomegranate seeds?<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

I found this article in the December issue of Oxygen Magazine<\/em>. \u00a0This is perfect<\/strong> for a morning when you have a couple of minutes free \u00a0to enjoy in your kitchen<\/strong> before you rush off to work . . . yes, it IS<\/strong> possible to eat nutritiously, quickly, and before 8:00am.<\/p>\n

Protein Pancakes<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

(adapted from December Oxygen Magazine)<\/em><\/p>\n

1\/2 cup of rolled oats<\/p>\n

1 tbsp ground flaxseed<\/p>\n

1 tbsp hemp hearts<\/p>\n

1 scoop vanilla protein powder (I only had Chocolate Peanut Butter, so I used that)<\/p>\n

2 egg whites (I would add 3 next time)<\/p>\n

1\/3 cup of low fat cottage cheese<\/p>\n

Combine all ingredients in a blender. \u00a0I used my Magic Bullet and it was the perfect size for this recipe.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Layers: Oats, Flaxseed, Hemp Hearts, Protein Powder<\/p><\/div>\n

Blend until the mixture is smooth. \u00a0If it seems too thick, add another egg white.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Yep, I dropped a yolk in! Oops.<\/p><\/div>\n

While you are heating up the pan, place mixture in the fridge (about 3 mins).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Pour a third of the batter into the pan. \u00a0As with all pancakes, when it starts to bubble, it’s time to flip it over. \u00a0Repeat with remaining batter.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I added pomegranates<\/strong> and sugar-free syrup<\/strong> to top it all off. \u00a0They tasted a little bit dry, so I would definitely add more moisture next time . . . another egg white? \u00a0Milk?<\/p>\n

Also, this recipe is made for one serving<\/strong>, but I could not eat the third pancake! \u00a0It was much to big. \u00a0I guess I’ll have to have it tomorrow morning! \u00a0Something to look forward to again \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Good morning? Great<\/strong> morning!<\/p>\n
