For busy moms, it can be a struggle to make a healthy breakfast every day, not to mention, wash the dishes and clean the kitchen afterward. I made this recipe on Sunday and am still enjoyed reheated leftovers on Wednesday! Talk about making your life easier while keeping you on track with your weight loss and fitness goals.

I found something similar online and made a few adjustments, based on what I had in the refrigerator…

    • Spray a 9×9″ pan with avocado oil (or any healthy oil).
    • Brown 1lb of lean ground turkey. Season it with whatever you have. I used chili powder, salt, pepper, garlic, onions, and smoked paprika.
    • Beat 12 eggs – I used 4 whole eggs and the rest were only egg whites.
    • Peel the skin off of 1 sweet potato and then peel the remaining into the 9×9 pan, lining the bottom.
    • Add the browned ground turkey.
    • Add 1 handful of spinach, kale or anything else green that you want to add.
    • Add the eggs, then top with a sprinkle of cheese, add a dash of salt and pepper, That’s it!
    • Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes.

    Enjoy!

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!
