Protein, fibre & omega 3 filled pancakes

Breakfast of Champions!!!
Went for a workout this morning and then had what I call my "breakfast of champions".

Pancake recipe (makes 3 pancakes)
4 tbsps of milled/ground flax seed
1 scoop of vanilla protein powder
1 tbsp of cinnamon (you can use less but I like cinnamon, so I put a lot)
splash of vanilla
pinch of salt
1/2 cup of egg white

Stir all ingredients together and then pour batter into a nonstick pan on medium heat.
When pancake sets, flip it over to cook other side. It takes about 3 minutes to make and it is full of great ingredients to fuel your day!!

Flax (4 tbsps) has only 200 calories and 10g of omega 3, along with 6g of fibre and 6g of protein!
Cinnamon will stabilize your blood sugar.
Protein powder (1 scoop) will give you 12.5g of protein along with the added protein from the egg white.

Add some berries (full of antioxidants and fibre) and PLAIN greek yogurt (0% liberte greek yogurt) with chia seeds and walnuts sprinkled on top to give you even more fibre and omega 3s.

Plain greek yogurt is low in calories and zero fat. It boosts your protien intake and it also gives you calcium which has been proven to help you lose weight. Choose the plain versions and save yourself almost 21g of added sugars!!! Always choose plain and add your own toppings...that way you can control what goes into your food!
Coffee and some almond milk (unsweetened, no sugar added almond milk!!!) and I am set for the day!!

Enjoy!
