HEALTHY, ENERGIZING, PROTEIN PANCAKES!
HEALTHY, ENERGIZING, PROTEIN PANCAKES...SCRUMPTIOUS!!
PREP DAY SUNDAY!
I am super excited about yesterday and even more excited about today! Yesterday I got 2 bar Muscle Ups...video coming...stay tuned. They were not perfect, a little bit of chicken wing on my right side but I got up and I am physced. "Chicken Wing" is when you bend your elbow and lean to one side to get up over the bar, you are supposed to push down with straight arms....I will work on it. I got a bar MU 2 years ago but it was very ugly so I don't really consider it as my first bar MU. Last Thursday( 1/11/18) I got my VERY first STRICT ring muscle up so it has been a fantastic start to the new year! The CrossFit Open 2018 is coming up February 22-March 26. One of these exercises will be in the Open so my goal has been to get at least 1 during the competition so it increases my score. Now I just have to perfect both. I know I can do it!
The CrossFit Open is a 5-week competition starting February 22 and goes until March 26th. Click on the highlighted "The CrossFit Open" above and you will get a detailed explanation of it. It is so much fun. Each year I strive to do my absolute best. I get better every year and always finish the Open knowing what my weaknesses are. After the Open is finished I take a short break then consistently work on my weaknesses or "goats" so I am fitter and stronger for the next year. As Ben Bergeron says, "Confidence is knowing that giving YOUR best effort is enough."
These pancakes....holy moly...so delicious. They are literally Chloe's favorite breakfast. She cannot get enough of them. She even eats them after school for a snack. No wonder she is so strong. Lol. PREP your food for the week, workout today, get yourself excited about taking care of your body...fill your body with fresh fruit, green vegetables, lean, grass fed, antibiotic free protein!! We have one chance to be the healthiest we can be. It is not about being perfect but finding a balance with eating, exercising, resting, family etc. I am constantly working on all of it.
INGREDIENTS
2 ripe bananas
1 cup of gluten free steel cut oats
4 teaspoons baking powder
pinch of sea salt
2 tablespoons flax meal
1 tablespoon chia seeds
3 organic eggs
1-2 teaspoons "Better Stevia" french vanilla flavor

STEPS
Mix everything together in a bowl. Add any topping you like....blueberries, strawberries, enjoy life chocolate chips. I pour out 1/4 cup of the batter on to the pan then add the toppings. Make sure you spray the pan with a non-stick spray or add a teaspoon of butter so the pancakes don't stick. ENJOY!
