Scrumptious, Protein Packed Pancakes

I've always enjoyed pancakes, with syrup. Thanks to my Mom, she's given me a twist on an American classic. Then I searched and found a healthy, protein packed recipe that tastes as rich and comforting. 

First I will post the traditional recipe then follow up with the healthier version.

TRADITIONAL PANCAKES

You will need:
The pancake mix of your choice. (we use Mrs. Butterworth's)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp almond extract
1 1/2 tbsp cinnamon (or more if you like extra cinnamon)
Pam cooking spray
Skillet/Griddle
Spatula
1/4 measuring cup

Directions:
Follow pancake mix box to make pancakes, mix in ingredients, stir well.
Spray the skillet/griddle with cooking spray, use the 1/4 measuring cup to scoop and pour the pancake mix into the skillet. Cook on low to medium heat until patty starts to bubble and sides look dry. Flip. Then top with your fave syrup, butter or powered sugar.



PROTEIN PACKED PANCAKES

You will need:
3 egg whites
1/2 banana
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tbsp almond milk (you can use vanilla or original)
1 tsp vanilla
1 scoop vanilla whey protein
Pam cooking spray
Skillet/Griddle
Spatula
1/4 measuring cup

Directions:
Mash banana in milk, then add all other ingredients.
Spray pan with cooking spray, use the 1/4 measuring cup to scoop and pour the pancake mix into the skillet. Cook on low to medium heat until patty starts to bubble and sides look dry. Flip. Then top with agave nectar or honey.

NOTE: If you like regular syrup, USE IT! Don't torture yourself with flavors you don't like, it will only make you bitter about eating healthier, and then you most likely binge. Just remember portion control.

Becoming A Beachbody Coach

Beachbody Coach, Huh? I tried it once, and I quit. I wasn't ready to put in the effort of working out, so how could help others? I wasn't ready to spend $15/month because money was so incredibly tight. I'd followed a few coaches on YT and FB, and saw these amazing results. Then I saw a paycheck from one of the girls I followed. WOW! My husband struggles to support 2 families (thank you, child support). I work part time at Bath & Body Works, but minimum wage doesn't really help with the bills, food, insurance, and holidays.


Everyone I've watched on YT (even coaches I don't follow) say DON'T DO IT FOR THE MONEY! You have to want to help yourself get physically fit, and need to have the desire to help others.  Well, I'm in luck then. Turns out I fit the criteria. My only issue is needing to "learn the business". I don't know the first thing about coaching. The problem is, there is NO one way to do it. YOU basically are the CEO of your own company. The time, effort and skill of managing your team and acquiring knowledge is ultimately what makes you successful.

I want to let my family live with ease. I want to help others achieve the best version of themselves. I want 25% discount on EVERY SINGLE Beachbody product. I want to make myself proud. I want to let people walk through this journey with me.

April 1 2013 - I will embark on the INSANITY journey. I will begin with one of the hardest, roughest, toughest cardio workouts imaginable. And over time, although it will seem to get easier, it will truly be my body getting stronger.

I welcome you to walk beside me on my path to physical greatness.
