CelticHarpist reacted to victoryinJesus53 for a blog entry, Protein Pancakes !
After researching I used a recipe for protein pancakes that I like and wanted to share with everyone. This recipe also included blue berries, which I love so much. You can also used other fruits that are in season in this recipe.
High protein Blueberry Pancakes
2 Eggs or use egg whites
1/4 container of your favorite protein shake ( I like adkins advantage and Premier shakes)
1/2 c Oatmeal
1/8 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp baking soda
Dash of Splenda or Stevia
60 gr blueberries ( or fruit of your choice)
dash of vanilla (optional)
Pam cooking spray or use small amount of Canola Oil
combine of all ingredients in your blender and prepare your sauce pan by heating on high for 5 minutes or so and reduce heat to medium/low. Slowly pour mixture forming your pancakes cook eat and enjoy! I enjoyed my pancakes so much and I am glad to have another option for breakfast. If you do not like Oat meal you can use 1/2 c Whole Wheat flour and add Splenda or Stevia to sweeten. Using my favorite protein shake sweetens my pancakes enough for me and I use whole eggs as my pouch is unable to tolerate eggs alone.

I was skipping around reading different posts on Facebook, and found an article by Dr. Laura Berman (you know, the sex therapist on Oprah), and she's talking about her challenge of fighting breast cancer and what it's like going bald during the chemo treatments. While reading that article, she said something that struck me SO deep, that I wanted to share in hopes that it hits someone else too. You see, I'm scared to death of who the "new me" will be. Will I still have my self-deprecating humor? Will I still enjoy what I do today when I'm thinner? Will people still like and love a thinner me even though I've been overweight all my life and this is how people identify me? I'm going to have to learn that my overweight self today isn't want defines me. That being a thinner me and having health and happiness is OK! Here is the quote:
"It is amazingly empowering to let go of something you think defines you, only to discover you are a truer version of yourself without it. It’s like letting go of an anchor that’s holding you down." ~Dr. Laura Berman
I'm ready to meet that truer me!!
