Banana Cinnamon Protein Pancakes

Makes: 8 Pancakes
Serving Size: 2 Pancakes (approx. 1/4 cup batter per pancake)
nutrition per serving
Calories: 194
Protein: 16 grams
Carbs: 22 grams
Fat: 4 grams
These banana pancakes are loaded with protein and whole grains and flavor. Whole wheat pastry flour gives a lighter texture than plain whole wheat flour. Share them with your kids for a nutritious breakfast.

Ingredients:

½ cup whole wheat pastry flour (can be found at whole foods or any health food store)
4 scoops Vanilla Protein Powder
½ cup (1 oz.) instant oats
1 Tbsp. baking powder
1/8 tsp. salt
2 Tbsp. Splenda baking substitute
1/8 tsp. cinnamon (you may add more if you choose)
2 Extra Large Whole Eggs
8 oz. (1 cup) non fat milk
2 oz. of banana, mashed into a smooth puree
1 ½ tsp. vanilla extract
Non-Fat Cooking Spray for Skillet/Pan
Preparation:

Combine all dry ingredients (first 7 ingredients) in a small bowl and stir well.
In a separate bowl, whisk together remaining 4 ingredients (wet ingredients) lightly just until blended.
Pour wet ingredients over dry ingredients and fold until just incorporated (over mixing will cause pancakes to be flat and tough)
Heat skillet over medium/low and spray with Pam non-fat cooking spray.
When pan is hot, add ¼ cup batter at a time. Allow pancake to cook thoroughly on first side before turning (edges will firm and bubbles will appear across entire surface when it’s ready). Because there is protein powder added, they take longer to cook than regular pancakes. Flip when ready. Remove from pan.
What is the Balance?

These pancakes have a great balance of protein, carbohydrate and a very small amount of fat.

Nutritionist's Note:

You may want to add a few nuts to the batter or on top of the pancakes, or a small amount of Smart Balance margarine to increase the fat slightly.

Healthy/Clean Enchilada Recipe

Ok this is the white man enchilada but its a great combo for some spicy flavor and is very very filling! You can feed and army with it.
Ingredients:
1-2 Lbs of Ground Turkey or Lean Ground Beef(my fav)
1 can of regular Rotel (if you want it really spicy get the medium to hot)
1 bag of ezekiel/wheat/spelt/spinach wraps
1 bag of nonfat mozzerella or cheddar cheese (if you can have the fat then get regular cheese)
1 baking pan sprayed with non stick spray.
Spices that you like (I use sea salt, garlic and onion powder, and pepper…sometimes a lil cayenne pepper)
How to Make:
First Pre-Heat oven to 375 degrees.
Then…
Brown the meat in a big pot add spices for flavor.
Once meat is browned add the rotel and use the can from the rotel and add some water to just cover the meat.
Let simmer at a low rolling boil with a lid on for about 15-20 minutes so that the meat can absorb some of the flavor.
One that is done lift the lid and stir.
Take your wrap and dip it in the juices of the "chili" and then lay it down in the baking pan.
Add the amount of meat that you want to the wrap, spred some cheese over top and wrap up like a breakfast taco.
Do this to as many as you want and then add cheese to the top.
Then bake for 15-20 minutes and taaaahh daaahhh breakfast lunch and dinner! Maybe even a snack lol!
Let me know how yall like it!
