High Protein Pancakes

These high protein pancakes make a great high protein breakfast or mid afternoon snack.

They're delicious hot or cold, and pack lots of nutrition into a small portion so they're perfect for use after weight loss surgery.

Try topping with a small amount of natural peanut butter or almond butter or drizzle pureed frozen blueberries (heated) on top ...YUMMY!

Ingredients:

6 egg whites, beaten until fluffy
1 cup non fat cottage cheese
2 scoops whey protein powder (Ex: BSN Lean Dessert Protein Powder)
1 cup oatmeal, uncooked
1/4 cup wheat germ
1/4 cup ground flaxseeds
1 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp (organic) canola oil
nonstick cooking spray
vanilla extract (optional)

Directions:

Place all ingredients except beaten egg whites in blender or food processor and pulse or blend until mixture is uniform.
Pour blended ingredients into a bowl and add egg whites. Fold until just blended.
Prepare a griddle with cooking spray. Ladle pancake mixture onto griddle and cook until both sides are browned.

Makes 8 pancakes.

HOW TO USE THESE WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY RECIPES

Meal Planning Tip # 1

Make a commitment to try one new recipe per week until you build up a repertoire of 9-10 meals that you LOVE and look forward to eating.

List all the recipes you love on a single sheet of paper, and title it your "Master List." Hang the Master List on your refrigerator so when you're stumped for menu ideas you can look at it to jar your memory.

Meal Planning Tip # 2

Continue to add to your Master List. Eventually you'll get bored of eating the same 9-10 recipes all the time (that's usually when comfort foods and/or old, bad habits start creeping back in).

Make a commitment to continue experimenting with new recipes on a regular, planned interval. This might mean trying a new recipe every other week or even once a month. It doesn't really matter...just keep trying new weight loss surgery recipes regularly and adding the ones you like to your Master List.

The larger your Master List becomes, the easier it will be to stick to your gastric lap band diet. That's because you'll have lots of gastric band recipes to choose from when you wonder, "What should I eat?!"
