Protein Pancakes and Worn Out Arms

Being an avid instagram fitness junkie, I have come across hundreds of protein pancake/waffle recipes.  Vegan, paleo, low carb, sugar-free, you name it! I've experimented with numerous recipes, but I think I have finally found my favorite! To make this special protein pancake recipe, I actually collaborated different recipes and put my own spin on it.
 Here's what you need:
- 4 tbsp almond flour
-1 scoop whey protein powder
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1 egg
-1/2 cup egg whites
- skim/almond milk
- stevia and cinnamon to taste

All you do is whip these ingredients together and blend until smooth.  In regards to the milk, this should be the last ingredient you add. Slowly add milk to the batter in order to obtain the desired consistency.  You really don't need much, maybe a 1/4 cup at most!
This recipe yields about 4 6" pancakes.  I make these for myself with the intent of not sharing :P I topped it off with a drizzle of sugar-free pancake syrup.

If you need a whey protein powder suggestion/recommendation, here is mine! Divine Nutrition Isolate Blend in Cinnamon Bun. I also recommend any of their other flavors/blends because this stuff is BOMB.  You can purchase a tub here: https://www.divinenutritionproducts.com/


   
 Also had a killer arm workout the other day!  30-45 second rest between each set, 60-90 second between each superset.  I've had worn out and fatigued arms all week from this workout! So definitely give this a try if you're looking to feel good and sore afterwards ;)
