Spinach & Zucchini St. Patty's Day Protein Pancakes

Most people celebrate St. Patrick's Day by drinking green beer... 

I'd rather eat pancakes!  Lol!  

So, in honor of the Irish holiday I made some delicious and nutritious protein pancakes :)

Spinach & Zucchini St. Patty's Day Protein Pancakes

Ingredients:

- 1 scoop VPX SRO Whey Protein (I used chocolate)

- 1/2 small Zucchini (cut into slices)

- 1 cup Organic Spinach

- 1/4 cup Oats

- 3 tbsp Egg Whites

- 1 tbsp Organic Ground Golden Flax Seed

- 1/2 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract

- 1/4 tsp Ground Cinnamon

- 1/8 tsp Baking Soda

Ingredients:

- Coat pan with non-stick cooking spray or coconut oil.

- Mix all ingredients in food processor (or blender, or Magic Bullet, etc.) until smooth.

- Pour 1/3 of the batter onto pan and cook on Low heat until golden brown

(this should take about 2 minutes on each side).

*Tip* When the pancake begins to bubble that is a good indicator that you should flip!

This recipe makes 3 medium sized protein pancakes which equals 1 serving.

As a topping, I added 1/2 tbsp of Sunbutter (all natural sunflower spread) and 1/2 tbsp of Walden Farms Pancake Syrup.  You can choose to add whatever you like or whatever fits your macros.

- All Natural Unsalted Nuts or Seeds
