Pancake Day!

When you're dieting and have kids it's so hard balancing the two sometimes! I don't know about you but I don't want them never seeing me enjoying an ice-cream or bit of chocolate from time to time. If you live constantly restricting yourself they'll grow up thinking that's what they have to do too. And the yo-yo dieting cycle continues. 

I would hate to think of my two girls growing up depriving themselves constantly, under-eating and/or binging because they're starving. So first we must show them balance.

To do this it starts with us and getting involved with holidays like Pancake Day is a really good place to start. Now this recipe is not to say that you can't enjoy your standard pancake with whatever toppings you want, because of course you can.

However, if you'd like to stay on plan and get the gains then this a good little recipe to make. Why not give it to the kids to try too, see if they even notice the difference!

Here we go then let's do it...

In a blender add 30g oats, 2 scoops of protein, 1 egg and then fill the rest up with your choice of milk (I always use unsweetened soya because it's really low calorie and dairy free) it's around 150ml. Add a banana to the mixture if you fancy. You want the mixture to be quite thick, the pancake will taste better and it'll be easier to flip. If you don't have a blender just give it a good whisk with your fork.

Spray a pan with 1 cal spray and make sure the pan is hot before you put the mixture in. Once cooked (and flipped) put whatever toppings on you'd like. I love peanut butter and banana, you can go traditional and have lemon or a bit of Nutella and strawberries 😋 Why not go American and style it up with a bit of bacon and syrup!

Whatever you choose enjoy it and have fun with the kids! 🥞❤️
