Protein Pancakes... One of my diet SECRETS!

Hi Friend,

How was your weekend?

I hope your answer is “AAAAAWESOME…” because mine was. I finally got some free time to go to the pool and enjoy the beautiful weather of Miami.

The reason why I’m writing to you today Tuesday, is because last Friday I was talking to a client who has been training with us for over a year and she asked me what do my meals look like. She wanted to know how do I eat on a daily basis with such a hectic schedule and still keep a lean body.

So from now on I will be sharing with you, on weekly basis, some of my own personal secrets, routines and recipes to help you get toned, defined and leaner than ever.

One of my secret recipes and almost daily mid afternoon snack (always accompanied with coffee… yes, I’m a big coffee fan) are my “protein pancakes”

Recipe:
-          10 organic egg whites
-          2 organic whole eggs
-          2 large bananas
-          2 packages of truvia
-          2 ½ cups of raw oat (oatmeal)
-          EXTRA: I like to add 2 scoops of chocolate protein powder


Instructions:
1) Place oats in blender on high until it becomes flour.
2) add egg whites and whole eggs
3) add bananas, truvia and protein powder
4) the consistency of the mix should be pretty thick
 
Turn kitchen burner on “medium” and heat up pan. Apply PAM Spray "cold press olive oil" (You can get it at wholefoods) on pan so the mix does not stick.

Pour the mix on the pan. I make my pancakes of about 3-4 inches in diameter. Leave 2-3 minutes on each side but check constantly so they don’t burn.

NOTE: Sometimes I add walnuts, blueberries or any other topping I want. I do this while one side is cooking, before I flip them.


This is a great and easy recipe. I usually get about 20 pancakes which last me a week. 2-3 pancakes provide you with enough nutrients to substitute a meal.
 
I hope you enjoy this new series of emails I will be sending to you every week and if you have any questions, concers or ideas about any topic you would like me to write about, that’s what I’m here for. Just shoot me an email and who knows, your question could be the topic of my next email.

Best,

JP Montanari
