Protein Crepe Almond Rolls

I made these the night before my fitness conference and they were great to eat on my way out the door!

1c Lana's Egg Whites
1/2c Oatmeal
*Cinnamon, Splenda, Pumkin Spice, dash of salt to taste
1T Almond Butter (BEST is FRESH ground from Whole Foods!)

Mix 1st 3 lines of ingredients together in Magic Bullet (or other blender). Pour in pan (I used coconut oil) Mades approx 2-3 crepes depending on your desired thickness. Lightly coat crepe with almond butter, roll, but in 1/2 and place in tupperware. Next morning just heat it up for approx 1 minute in the microwave and go! ;)

Protein Pancakes - Labrada Strawberry Shortcake

Single serving recipe (I make a double batch)

1 whole egg
1/2c Lana's Egg Whites
1 scoop Labrada Lean Pro 8-Strawberry Ice Cream
1/2 cup Oatmeal
1 fruit (1/2c strawberries/1 banana)
* i like using one serving of each as the banana gives it a better consistency, but you can do 1c strawberries if you can only have them just be gentle with the cakes)

Blend all ingredients in a blender. Lightly coat pan with coconut oil. Pout batter to desired thickness. Once bubbles come through to the top it is time to flip them(very short amount of time on second side).

Makes approximately 4-5 cakes/serving. Smells amazing! ;)

Protein Crepes (cleaner than pancakes)

 So I can't really take credit for some of these, they are things that get passed around. I would like to share how I have made these after my client told me how she made hers. These are great when you are eating cleaner and can't have protein powders or fruit. SUPER EASY! Here are the instructions for a quick and simple Single Serving.

1c Egg Whites
1/2c Oatmeal
cinnamon, pumpkin spice, Splenda to taste. (those were my choices, but you could add your own favorite sweetener, or cocoa powder, even a flavored Crystal Light or equivalent - I got lemon to try at a later date!)

Blend in a Magic Bullet (or other blender)

Lightly grease the pan with coconut oil. Like with the Protein Pancakes, once you see bubbles on top, it's time to flip. Should make 2 large crepes or 4 small crepes depending on the size pan you use.

IDEA: If you need your healthy fat at this meal, add Almond Butter into the crepes and roll! My favorite is the Fresh ground from the machine at Whole Foods. YUMM! :D

DONUTS?!?!

Who says a Competition Diet can't be fun?

 
I was at Target the other day and scoffed at a donut maker I saw. Then, Thursday night I was thinking about how Fridays are donut day at work. I so missed that. And I had an epiphany - I was going to make my own donuts. It's a mental thing, lol. Being able to have MY donuts, feel part of the Friday fun and still be good. I have posted all the photos below.

I started out with the same recipe as my Protein Pancakes(Pic 1). However, I accidentally put in 2x the egg whites, so i then had to double everything else to make it right(Pic 2). I usually bake a double-batch, so this made a Quadruple batch!! No worries, food for 4 days! 

Single Serving (multiply as desired)
1/2c Egg Whites (I use Lana's Egg Whites)
1 Whole Egg
1 Scoop Vanilla Protein Powder
1/2c Oatmeal
1 fruit (I split it, so 1/2 banana, 1/2cup strawberries) -lol easier to double the batch
   * the banana gives it the consistency of bread and holds better. I split
      the fruit as I have bananas on heavier workout days & strawberries
      when I need a leaner breakfast. I call it my compromise ;)
 Seasonings as desired (I like cinnamon, Vanilla extract, you can use cocoa power, diff protein flavors, etc)

Blend all ingredients in blender. Pour into donut maker. I got this one at Target for $30. If you want to see it, it's the Sunbeam Donut Maker. I tried to make a glaze....I will need to keep working on it. I used some coconut oil as it hardens as it cools, and tried to use Truvia and cinnamon. Doesn't quite work like sugar, lol. I tried dipping the donuts in, and it cooled on those, but hard to get it on the donuts.

My quadruple batch made approximately 4 servings of 9 or 10 small donuts each. 

They are cute and fun and make me happy! And will TOTALLY trip out any other competitors who see me eat them, haha 0;)

 

Protein Pancakes

This is one of my Absolute Favorites!
I made a double batch today, and then I just split the pancakes into 2 servings. Ill do this 2x so that I can get through the week(4 servings) and then maybe do my Oatmeal Pudding the rest or eat separate.

1/2c Egg Whites(I use Lana's)
1 whole egg
1/2 scoop protein powder(any flavor, im using vanilla here)
1/2c oatmeal
 *if you're allowed fruit, 1/2 banana gives great moisture & consistency, 1/2c strawberries would be leaner.

So im making a DOUBLE batch. I have one fruit in the morning. On my heavy workout days (2hrs or more) I have the banana, on off or single workout days I have berries. Because this is for 2 day I split it and did one serving of each. And I wanted to try it! ;)

Put all ingredients into a blender. You can use salt, sweetener, spices(cinnamon, nutmeg, etc) to taste. I didn't use sweetener this time as I thought the fruit & protein powder would be sweet enough. (Especially if your bananas are ripe) I set my stove top to level 3  and lightly grease the pan with coconut oil. Once you see the bubbles start to come through, its time to flip. Doesn't need much on the 2nd side. I split my cakes into 2 plates, one I eat (YUMMM!) And the other I pop into the fridge to eat the next day. The size I made turned out to be 4 pancakes per serving.

Time to flip!

    OPTIONS: (oh boy - lots!)
-Different fruits
-Different flavor protein powders
-Add a touch of extract(coconut, vanilla, rum-get crazy, lol)
-Add spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, cocoa powder, pumpkin spice, etc)
-Higher cal/building program- Add almond butter to make it a roll or sandwich. I LOVE the fresh ground at Whole Foods!


So with ALL the options of protein flavors, fruits (if allowed), spices and other flavorings, you should be able to make yourself a Happy Meal for Breakfast! (Hehe, aka, "Meal #1")
