Today i tried two new recipes 1) protein pancake and 2) hamburger patties!! The 2nd dish is obviously not as exciting as many other paleo recipes, but you have to start somewhere, and ive never cooked hamburger patties before :)
Below is a picture of the protein pancakes which contain 4 egg whites, a scopp of protien powder, and blueberries with a layer of almond butter on the top!! It was an interesting taste to say the least- I used vanilla protein powder but think that chocolate would actually make it taste is a little better. I hear its a great "pre-work out" meal ...
And no -- its not chicken topped with beans (ew) which this picture has been mistaken as- haha
Below are pictures of my hamburger patties and veggies-- everything turned out very well and i was pretty proud of myself for this being my first time cooking patties!
Below is a picture of the veggies i used to top of the hamburger
Onions, lettuce, and tomatoes
and whaa-laa :) The finished product. An extremely easy meal to make with a side of Asparagus!
I have three extra patties i will bring with me to work tomorrow also
Also, earlier today i completed my own crossfit workout in the comfort of my own home :)
3x
50 air squats
21 KB swings (35lb)
12 Pull ups
Its a version of Helen but instead of the 400m run i completed 50 air squats. Cant do much running in a small apartment! It was a great work out and felt good to use all my new equipment .. i am excited to start getting more stuff also! Jump rope, dumb bells, and another kettle bell (25lb) My time was 12:40! blahh
Everyone have a great day!
Stay active and healthy :)
I tried the recipe on Crossfit Journal which is slightly modified. You basically mix the chocolate protein powder with the egg whites, but also blend in the almond butter into the batter. An actual blender works well to make the concoction more batter-like.
ReplyDeletei will have to try that version!! I tried another recipe that tasted like cinnamon pancakes- they were delicious! 3 eggs, 1/2 cup almond butter, 1/2 cup applesauce (no sugar), 1/4 cup cinnamon and a tsp of vanilla extract! It was great :) give it a shot!
ReplyDeleteYum. Will try that.
