4 egg whites
1 scoop chocolate protein powder (your preference)
1 cup of plain oatmeal
1 banana mashed
¼ soymilk (optional)
sugar free syrup (optional, I prefer Log-Cabin)
In a medium-sized bowl, mix together, egg whites, protein powder, oatmeal, banana and soymilk. Heat large frying pan and spray with Pam or other non-stick spray. Pour ¼ mixture into pan (should be able to make about 4 medium-sized pancakes). Cook on low to medium heat for about 1 minute and flip. Cooking time for each pancake is about 3-4 minutes (depending on how well you like them cooked). Serve hot with or without syrup.
Other options:
Try vanilla protein powder with ½ cup of mashed strawberries or blueberries.
Red Hot Chicken and Broccoli
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
½ cup peanuts
1 red pepper
4 slices of Pepper Jack cheese
¾ cup dried red chilies
2 cups long grain brown rice
1 cup of broccoli
2 tablespoons crushed red pepper (if you like it HOT)
In a 2-½ quart saucepan, add 6 cups water and cook/steam chicken for about 10 minutes. In a 2-½ quart saucepan add water and rice and broccoli (you can cook your broccoli separate or with your rice). Preheat oven to 350.
While the chicken and rice are cooking you can slice your red pepper. If you have a food processor or chopper you can chop the peanuts or leave them as is. After 10 minutes, remove chicken from water and place in casserole dish. Top chicken with Pepper Jack cheese, throw in red pepper slices, dried red chilies and lastly sprinkle with (crushed) peanuts. Place in oven for about 20-25 minutes.
Serve chicken with brown rice broccoli combo and top off with crushed red pepper if you like your food EXTRA HOT!
