HEALTHY EATS: PROTEIN PANCAKES

IMG_9330
My good friend introduced me to these protein pancakes a few weeks ago, and I literally have had them for breakfast everyday ever since.  It feels like I am cheating, it’s that good!  The recipe kinda sounds funky, but just trust me on this!  It’s a great way to get your protein in for the day, and it keeps you feeling full.  I have come to learn along the way that breakfast is the most important part of the day.  It will change your whole day, and you won’t get as hungry as fast throughout your day.
I always make time for this meal, because it is my absolute favorite meal of the day!  It’s good motivation to get myself out of bed haha.  If you are on the go, just make it the night before and put it in some tupperware, or I usually just mix the ingredients at night and throw it on the pan in the morning, and put it in some tupperware.  It literally will take you only 10 minutes!Follow recipe below, also pictures of what you need.

Here is a list of what you will need
1. Magic bullet, or blender
2. Dry Oats
3.  Cottage Cheese (I use fat free)
4. 2 eggs
5. Cinnamon
6. Pure Vanilla
7.  Measuring cupsToppings
1. Maranatha Peanut Butter (my favorite)
2. Walden Farms calorie free blueberry sryup (local whole foods, or sprouts)
3. Fresh blueberries

Step 1- Separate 2 egg whites from yolks and pour into blender.
Step 2- Pour 1/4 cup of oats into the blender
Step 3-  Pour 1/4 cup cottage cheese into the blender
Step 4- Pour a dash of pure vanilla into blender
Step 5- Sprinkle a dash of cinnamon to your liking (I like a lot)
Step 6- Blend all ingredients together, and pour on pan.  It should take about 1 minute per side to cook, but when it starts to bubble, it’s usually ready.
Add toppings to your liking, I use 1 tablespoon of peanut butter, and BAM deliciousness heaven in your mouth, and your day just somehow becomes perfect after that!  They are wonderful if you are sick of your plain old eggs whites, and toast, or protein shake, or oatmeal.  Please give them a try!Also, another secret is to put them in your blender overnight, and they will be more fluffy when you make them in the morning.
If you are wanting a little more, and I sometimes do this, just double the recipe, so 1/2 cup of everything, and I use 3 egg whites.

Who says you can’t enjoy life and eat good delicious healthy food that you don’t feel hungry afterwards?!  These changed my life, and I hope they changed yours!

DAY AT THE SPA WITH SPA TROUVE

 

Happy Monday!
Today, I want to talk to you about my last visit to Spa Trouve, located in Utah.
Recently,  I have been having issues with my skin,  so I decided to try getting an intense chemical peel to remove all of my breakouts I have been having and all the dead layers of skin.  It takes about a week to recover, but all you need to do is stay out of the sun after the treatment, keep it moisturized and few times a day, and keep sunscreen on.
 I was so happy with how it dramatically changed my skin.   All of my break outs were gone!  I absolutely loved how clear it made my skin was,  and now I have a nice fresh face to put make up on, and my make up goes on so nice and even.
If you have never had a chemical peel before, make sure you talk to the esthetician to see what type of chemical peel your skin needs.  There are different types you can get.  It all depends on your skin and how intense you want to go.    It peels back the layers of your skin, so if you have time and aren’t going anywhere important for a few days after, then definitely try this out.  I had time to recover and it took about a week, but I promise It was so worth it!   
 
For the exciting news, Spa Trouve is giving away a $100 gift card and latisse just in time for Mothers Day!   So all you Moms out there enter in and get yourself  little trip to the Spa.  You can use this gift card on whatever you would like to.
