Recipe: ProteIn Pancakes!

A lot of folks people have asked for my recipe for protein pancakes... so here it is!

1/2 cup uncooked oats
3 egg whites
1/3 cup cottage cheese OR 1 serving container greek yogurt
1 scoop protein powder of your choice
(I put in a pinch of baking powder)

Blend by hand or in a blender/food processor. Cook like a regular pancake! I've added pureed pumpkin, sweet potatoes, sugar free instant pudding mix.... The variations are endless! The recipe is my BASE recipe. I start with that and add on. 

You can use Walden farms pancake syrup if you're watching your calories. Here (even though it's not in the picture,  I used sugar free pancake syrup, natural peanut butter and sugar free strawberry jelly.... :-) 

Recipe: Mock Tuna Salad

I called it "mock" only because regular Tuna Salad is usually made from Mayo... -_- I do NOT like mayo.. it scares me. So, I subbed in things I like (and what I had on hand at the time) for this..



Mock Tuna Salad
Serves 1

6 oz Canned Tuna (I used Starkist and Chicken of Sea Solid White - about a can and a half)
1/4 - 1/3 cup Brown Spicy Mustard
Small Onion, Diced or sliced
2 oz Hass Avocado
hot sauce to taste
Salt and Pepper to taste

I weighed out 6 oz tuna from 2 cans after draining. Place in bowl, set aside. Dice Onions and Avocado, and add to the tuna. Blend well. Lastly, add the mustard to the tuna mixture. Depending on how moist you like your tuna salad, you can use more or less than the amount I used. I like it fairly dry, but just enough to hold together. Once you've blended the all the ingredients, then you can add the hot sauce, salt and pepper to taste.

I'm eating it with two slices toasted Ezekiel bread, but you can eat it plain or with a low carb wrap (which I've done)!

Note: I have also used flavored hummus along with the mustard! Roasted Red Pepper, Chipotle and Sundried Tomato are my favs!

Enjoy!!
