"Quinoa protein powder and whole wheat flour pancakes made with oat milk and egg white. Served with turkey bacon and an egg white and green pepper omlette with a touch of feta. I did not eat the whole thing and this was for breakfast and lunch"
"Your breakfast and lunch combo looks really tasty! The protein powder in your pancakes and the egg white in your omelette are excellent sources of lean protein that will keep you feeling full until your next meal. The quinoa and whole wheat flour are fantastic choices as they are rich in fiber. The turkey bacon adds a nice touch of protein too. And the green pepper and feta in your omelette are not just tasty theyre also helping you stay satisfied for longer. Just like the last time youve done a great job of balancing your meal. Good job Bradley!"

- 1 cup quinoa flour
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 scoop protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
- 1 cup oat milk
- 3 egg whites
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- Cooking spray or a small amount of olive oil for the pan
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix the quinoa flour, whole wheat flour, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the oat milk and egg whites until frothy.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray or olive oil.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
- Serve warm with turkey bacon and a vegetable omelette for a complete meal.
