Happy Day After Christmas!
I gotta say I think the day after Christmas is kind of depressing, but kind of relieving at the same time!
I’m sad it’s over, but HAPPY I can get on with life and have a little more free time!
Yay!
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas BTW.

I had a great day today!
My sister came to my Bootcamp class at the gym with me tonight!
She lives 1/2 hour away from me, so it was fun to have her come!
It was a great workout, but the gym was pretty empty!
I loved it though.

I also have a quick recipe I want to share with you all that I love!
I found it in an old copy of Oxygen Magazine (love that magazine, btw).
It’s in the December 2010 issue.
Just check out the AWESOME ingredients in these babies!
Nothing bad AT ALL and every ingredient is a health powerhouse!
Woo Hoo!
Here ya go…
Oxygen Magazine’s Pre-workout Pancakes
Ingredients:
1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats
1 tbsp ground flaxseed
1 scoop vanilla protein powder (or I’m sure you could use any flavor)
3 egg whites
1/3 cup low-fat cottage cheese
Optional Toppings:
Agave Nectar
Honey
Sugar-free syrup
Almond/Peanut Butter
Nuts
Bananas
Berries
Whatever you like!
- Put all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth.
- Refrigerate batter for 3 minutes while heating a pan over medium heat.
- Drop by spoonful to create 3 equal sized pancakes.
- When it starts to bubble gently flip and cook other side.
- Top with favorite toppings!
I used Almond Butter, Agave, Sugar-free syrup and bananas!
- Eat and enjoy!
These were really tasty! Not your typical melt-in-your-mouth fluffy pancakes, but still yummy! And considering how healthy they are, I think they are awesome!
Oh, and I thought 3 pancakes was a GIANT serving! I could not finish all of them! I think 2 would be perfect or even 1 as a pre-workout meal (even though they called these “pre-workout” pancakes, I think I would hurl if I ate all 3 before a workout!)
Next time I make these, I’m going to triple the recipe and freeze some.
Then when I need a quick meal or snack, I’ll throw one in the toaster!
I love simple, easy and convenient meals!
I hope you all enjoy them as much as I did!
Leave a comment....I would love to hear from you!
