If this isnt a post which BEGS for some reader help Im not sure what is.

To know me is to know NEVER to ask me for recipes.
It isnt that I cant cook (because really, there’s nothing I loathe more than a woman who pulls the “oooh, Id burn water if I tried to boil it” chickenbus.) it’s just that for the most part I choose to eat my foods as close to their original state as I can.
I really like to eat clean (some might call it plain) and find that I feel far better and more energetic when I do.
A few years ago this clean eating mightcould have been about vanity (who can even recall)—but now? It’s all about keeping my tank filled with high-octane ANYTHING that will allow me to run around with my daughter around 12 hours a day.
But I digress (whine? tomato. tomaaahto.) as the entire reason for this post is to bestow upon you one of my recipe favorites.
Sure it’s good for you.
SURE it’s a fantiztastic way to start your day (hint hint to those of you out there STILL skipping breakfast).
But despite all that it really is good.
MizFit’s Mishmashed Almost ‘Cakes
1 cup egg substitute.
1/4 cup cottage cheese
1/4 Fiber One (original)
1/4 cup dry oatmeal
1/3 cup protein powder. ANY BRAND. Read the label. You can use FLAVORED but just remember we want LOW SUGAR.
1/4 cup Sugar free syrup
Blend the above Chickenbus in a blender and VOILA.
Now, if youre me, you shall find that each time you make these the batter turns out a different consistency (what’s THAT about?).
Sometimes it’s a bit too thin and Ill add flax seeds to thicken (flax? an upcoming entry in & of itself) or too thick and I’ll dump in more egg substitute (pure protein, People!) or syrup (pure heaven, People!).
Play around with it.
You might prefer to add some honey or frozen/fresh fruit to sweeten and you COULD lessen the fiber & use 1/2 cup dry oats and skip the Fiber One.
After the concoction is complete you simply make pancakes as you would with any other (odd high protein) batter.
Me? I like to use a waffle iron every now & again for some texturizing variety.
Go forth and find your blenders—–I’ll wait.
Give em a try and let me know how they turn out.

I do love me some protein pancakes. These sound filling in a good way. High protein and fiber….both are a beautiful thing!

I have my “own” protein pancake recipe that I eat 4-5x/week - but now I might try Fiber 1 in place of the oats.

I have cottage cheese sitting in my frige for a week and have procrastinated on making the pancakes. I am going to make it today. I don’t have protein powder, but with the eggs and cottage cheese that should give me lots of protein.
Thanks for this today as I would not have added the flax, but now I am going to grind up some. I read that flax seed oil has the highest omega-3 in terms of vegetarian sources. I am on a quest to find out the best vegetarian sources of omega-3. I am told that nothing can beat fish oil, but I will find the perfect one .. chia, walnuts, flax, mustard oil.. you name it..
