Protein Pancakes

So my diet during this phase is basically an absurd amount of protein, and very little of everything else. I have a hard time trying to get in protein of a regular basis, so my creativity levels have had to go into overdrive when it comes to ways of getting in my protein. An easy meal for me is normally breakfast. I have been eating eggs and turkey bacon, but after researching online, I found an awesome recipe for Protein Pancakes which are SO delish, you'd never know they were chalk full of protein and so healthy! (THANKS TO MY BROTHER SAM FOR THIS IDEA!!!)

Protein Pancakes:
1/2 C. Oatmeal
1/4 C. Cottage Cheese
4 Egg whites
1 tsp Vanilla
2 tbsp Splenda

1)Blend your oatmeal in a blender so it becomes more of a flour substance.
2)Add the rest of your ingredients, and blend until mixed. Do not over blend. (It may seem liquidy, that's okay! Have faith!)
3)Pour onto a hot non-stick pan (I use a bit of spray so they it gives it that extra non-stickiness). And flip pancakes when bubbles appear on top.

These are the bomb, and so full of delish protein. I also make a few slices of turkey bacon with these as well. Another good option for protein is Greek yogurt. It can be expensive in the store, but has nutritional facts that are comparable to cottage cheese. Roughly 20g protein for about 3/4 cup, and tastes so good with a bit of liquid honey. If you're also sick of having to down straight cottage cheese by the ton everyday, I've also been making my cottage cheese into veggie dip by adding dill, garlic powder, and black pepper, and giving it a good stir.

Yesterday I started week 2, and am SO ready to take on this week. I found Chest/Back super hard on Day 1, could be because everything was so new and intimidating, but now that I know I can do it, I brought it! I feel kind of like a car ran over my chest today, but it feels good. It means something is happening! Plyo tonight!! Woohoo!
