Tasty Thursday Recipe: Shakeology Pancakes!

Tasty Thursday Recipe:

 

 

 

While I normally wouldn't cook my Shakeology (because anything over 110 degrees kills the nutrients in it...), I was craving PANCAKES and didn't want it as a shake - I had a shake for breakfast.  Therefore I employed the process of protein pancakes before me and went to work! Here is the resulting recipe and review.

 

Shakeology Protein Pancake

1/2 banana, mashed

1/4 c. egg whites (or 3 egg whites)

1 packet or scoop of Shakeology (Chocolate or Vanilla, although the NEW Strawberry would probably be good, too!)

1/2 TBS coconut milk

Dash of cinnamon

Organic cooking spray

 

Mash banana thoroughly in bowl, add egg whites and coconut milk - combine thoroughly. Next, add scoop or packet of Shakeology and dash of cinnamon. Again, mix well.

 

Heat skillet over medium heat. Spray skillet with cooking spray, spoon mixture into skillet -- cooking approximately 3 minutes per side or until cooked through.

 

Top with your favorite pancake toppings.

 

Review: Texture is much like any protein pancake. Flavor is great - the banana adds just the right amount of sweetness without being TOO sweet!  Overall, a great alternative for someone needing a protein packed snack that doesn't involve any kind of store bought batter or crazy number of ingredients. AWESOME SAUCE! :)  AND, my two boys (ages 2 and 4) loved them, too! WIN!
