Vanilla and Blueberry Protein Pancakes

Hello there all of my lovelies

By the end of this week I will have completed Jamie Eason's 12 week Live Fit program, which has actually successfully kicked my but into shape! Over the past three months I have learned so much about lifting, eating healthy and baking healthy which has lead me to create these delicious pancakes.  I always make these little babies on my high carb/high intensity workout days and they are perfect for sustaining my energy levels during hiit.

The great thing about these pancakes is that you don't need a million bowls to make them, you actually only need one and they taste just as good (or better) than your average pancake.  First I whisked all of the dry ingredients in the bowl, then made a well and added the wet ingredients.  Just as simple as that.

It is also important to note that this pancake batter may seem a little thin, but that is just how we like our pancakes.  If you want them to be thicker, just add less almond milk.  But honestly, these cook up just fine being how thin the batter is.


Let me know if you give these a try- you wont regret it, I promise! And let me know if you have done or are still doing Jamie Eason Live Fit on bodybuilding.com and tell me what you think.  I will definitely be posting next week with my thoughts of the program as a whole.
