It’s breakfast for about a buck!
Rise and shine! I know—you’re not a big breakfast eater. But, you won’t mind starting your day off right with my quick and easy Whey Delish Omega -3 Pancakes—so good even the kids will beg for more!
You know the drill: Breakfast is the most critical meal of the day. Your body has been without food for a good twelve hours and needs to be nourished. Eating a well balanced breakfast helps rev up your metabolism, gets your energy in high gear and evens out blood sugar levels. Moreover, it fills and satisfies, so you’re less likely to be tempted by the stimulating energy highs (and lows) of caffeine and sugary breakfast pastries.
What a whey to start your day! With 20 grams of protein per serving, these pancakes really satisfy with a touch of natural sweetness from some added fruit (1/2 cup mixed berries) or a tablespoon of Black Cherry, Royal Fig, or Red Raspberry jam (I like the St. Dalfour brand, personally). And if you want, you can even throw in a couple of tablespoons of chia seeds for extra fiber power.
Whey Delish Pancakes
2 eggs
1 scoop (or 5 tablespoons) Fat Flush Whey Protein, vanilla
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
Olive oil spray
One serving makes about 4 to 6 3-inch pancakes.
You’ll notice I mention the Fat Flush Whey Protein powder by brand name. This is because it is essential that whey protein powder is hormone-free, lactose-free, non-GMO, non-denatured (unheated), and most importantly made with A2 milk—unlike the A1 milk used to make most other whey protein powders that has been linked to diabetes, heart disease, and digestive problems.
These pancakes are also one of my favorite “beauty foods”—they provide immune-enhancing and anti-inflammatory benefits that help to guard your skin from the drier, colder air that tends to trigger skin problems this time of year.
Confession of a Whey Delish Pancake Fan: “I sometimes will use these for dessert and call them crepes. I love them with powdered Flora-Key instead of sugar.”
So when it comes to breakfast, please don’t flip out, flip my pancakes! Want more breakfast ideas? Check out my Fast Track Detox Diet.
Yes, Getting Healthier – real maple syrup would be terrific. If you are a Fat Flusher, remember that maple syrup is reserved for special occasions…which breakfast always is!
caroline says: What is the difference between A1 and A2 milk? I have never heard of these.
Daryl says: Can you make these pancakes with the Fat Flush Body Protein Powder?
Caroline: A1 Milk is the milk linked with disease while A2 milk is healthier and cleaner.
Daryl – Good question: Maybe you can try and let us know?
Kari says: I LOVE these and use them as tortilla shells when then rest of the family wants fried corn tortillas.
Evelina says: I love the Fastrack diet, but recipes like this one don’t work for me as I am apparently allergic to eggs. I am at a loss what to eat for breakfast when on a Fasttrack diet, need a break from smoothies now and then, especially in the colder seasons! Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Can I do gluten-free oatmeal? Anything else? Help!
1 tablespoon of ground flax with 3 tablespoons of water will substittue nicely for the eggs. Other breakfast ideas — Quinoa with the Whey Protein or Fat Flush Body Protein shakes made with warm water.
Elizabeth says: Even though I am not on the Fat Flush diet right now, I tried this pancake recipe and thought it was delicious. I used the vanilla flavor whey protein powder so it did not really need sweetening, but I did top it with a little applesauce. I made two crepe sized pancakes in a crepe pan. Thanks! I’ll use this one a lot.
Review Natural Cures says: I actually tried this recipe, but added a touch of nutmeg and brown sugar just to give it a bit different flavor. Still very healthy and it was quite delicious. I didn’t add any maple syrup. lol
Paige says: (hope this isn’t a stupid) Question: If the proteins in protein powder shouldn’t be heated when processed then why is it okay to heat in recipes like this one? Thanks for clarification as this can be confusing.
Most of the time it is best to use the Whey in a smoothie. When you do make this recipe the temperature is so much lower than when the protein would be processed (160 – 200 degrees) so it doesn’t do the same damage to the protein bonds.
Kathy says: How can you tell if milk is A1 or A2? I always buy organic, but from what I understand it depends on the type of cow. Please advise. Thanks!
Sierra says: Kathy, from my understanding, most cows in the United States produce A1 protein. The Fat Flush Whey from Dr. Ann Louise is derived from New Zealand grass fed cows.
Can I serve with maple syrup?
