This is a good breakfast option for people on a fat loss diet who are craving something tasty and want to indulge while also staying on top of their goals.
It is low in calories and has a good source of protein from the whey and Greek yogurt. It also relatively lower in carbohydrates with a less than 1:1 ratio with the protein. The carbs can be reduced by reducing the fruits and using the yogurt toppings sparingly.
It can also be used on a muscle building phase by adding calorie dense foods such as nuts and nut butter in the batter or as a topping. Adding oats to the batter can help in the slow release of energy before a weights workout or a hard bike session.
Ingredients
1 whole egg
1 scoop chocolate whey protein
1 cup epigamia greek yogurt plain (90g)
1 cup flavored epigamia greek yogurt
1 banana/berries
Cooking spray or butter
Cooking Instructions
Mix the first 4 ingredients to make the batter.
Heat the pan and use a cooking spray on it. Or Use a butter block and just rub it on the pan instead of a knob. This helps in just coating the pan enough and not using excess butter.
Cook on one side for a minute or two till it is ready to flip. Then cook it on the other side.
Top the pancakes off in a plate with some flavored yogurt and some fruit.
Notes
You can change the flavor of the pancakes by using a different flavor of whey protein or yogurt topping.
To add more carbs, add oats to the batter.
To add more fats, add peanut butter or any other nuts/ nut butter to the toppings.
When using butter, do not add a knob to it. instead, just run the pan with the block just to coat it. It will do the job required and reduce calories.
There is no need to add any milk or water to the batter. The egg and yogurt will give the perfect consistency.
Add chocolate chips if you really want to elevate it!
