As I mentioned yesterday, I promised I would post another version of the flapjack. I think we can all get stuck in the mindset that a recipe is only good for the way it was written. WRONG!! I love to tweak my recipes with different fruits, flavors and textures. Here is a chocolate banana version on the flapjack. ;) *again these macros fit my meal 1 that consists of 6 egg whites, 40g oats, 1/2 serving of fruit. Chocolate Banana Protein Flapjack Ingredients 35g of old fashion oats 20g of protein powder 2 egg whites 30g banana 2g SF FF chocolate pudding mix *optional Tbsp of Davinici's sugar-free syrup (if too thick) Directions: • Mix all ingredients together.

Wow its been a while since I posted a recipe! I have been playing around with a few more breakfast recipes, and now that school is in full swing, I see the need for portable breakfast.

It does not mean you cannot use protein powder in the following recipe, instead you would just sub out the cottage cheese and replace it with protein powder. Ingredients 4 egg whites ¼ c (62g) cottage cheese... read more 1 comments
These are becoming my new favorite for breakfast. I have made them with strawberries in the past, but I am hooked on this lemon/blueberry combo. It's another great recipe for people on the go. Just put them in a container and take them with you. Don't leave them on the counter, they seem to magically dissapear ;) One batch makes 5 cookies!! Amazing how that is only 1 meal. YUMMY! Lemon Zest Blueberry Cookies Ingredients 3 egg whites ½ scoop vanilla protein powder 35g old fashion oats 25g blueberries 4 g SF FF lemon pudding mix 1 tsp lemon zest Splenda 2-3 packets (optional) Directions: Preheat oven to 375 degrees • Place all ingredients except blueberries in mixing bowl.
