Protein Pancakes from Essential Fitness

10 Minute Protein Packed Breakfast

How about trying something different today?

Try this super simple protein pancake, and make breakfast for the whole family in less than 10 minutes!

Our favorite pancake mix is Maple flavored Parrillo Pancake and Muffin mix. Just add water and cook in a skillet with a little avocado oil. 2 cups of mix (add water) will make enough pancakes for the whole family AND provide leftovers for the work week.

Be sure to add some egg whites for an additional protein boost to help you recover from your workouts and build that muscle and tone that EVERYONE wants!

How much protein should you get per day? General recommendations are 50 grams per day for the average sedentary woman. However, if you are weight training and trying to build muscle, you need more than that! Aim for at least 20 grams per meal – this is a good starting point, and a “protein” breakfast will start you off on the right foot!
