Weekly Fit tip - Protein Pancakes - A great Breakfast!!!

I get asked what is the best thing to eat for breakfast...

eggs and bacon, cereal, pancakes, etc...

I then go on and tell them that it is best to eat a protein at every meal including breakfast. I then tell them in addition to a protein, you need to eat a veggie and or fruit and in most cases it is ok to have a starchy carbohydrate too.

I then get a crazy look on the persons face.

So to clarify, here is my wife's (Optimal Girls) staple breakfast. She has this every day without fail. it is a complete blend of what I mentioned above

Protein Pancakes;

1/3 cup oatmeal
3 egg whites
10-20 grams of protein powder
splenda & Cinnamon to taste

she will sometimes have it with a banana or piece of fruit.

And if you are like me and need a little kick it is ok to add a table spoon of real maple syrup
(just a table spoon)

try it you'll be surprised.

enjoy
