Ginger-Peach Power Pancakes

This is a hearty and satisfying pancake to help get your day started right! The fresh ginger adds a lively and spicy flavor as well as additional health benefits.

-3 egg whites

-1/4 cup of "Bob's Red Mill" muesli hot cereal

-1/2 tablespoon ground flax

-2 tablespoons natural vanilla whey protein powder (I use "Dymatize Elite" brand)

-1 teaspoon aluminum-free baking powder

-1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

-2-3 slices unsweetened frozen peach, chopped

-1 tablespoon of FRESH minced or grated ginger, (about the size of 2 US half dollars, outside skin removed

-pinch of sea salt (optional)

In a medium sized bowl, scramble the egg whites. Stir in the remaining ingredients one at a time and mix well until throughly combined. Onto a heated non-stick griddle or 10 inch non-stick skillet, sprayed lightly with Pam or other cooking spray, pour the entire batter for one large pancake or divide into several small pancakes. When the pancake is light and brown underneath, flip the pancake and brown the other side. Serve hot.

A wonderful accompaniment I love to have with this breakfast is Harney and Son's brand Thai "green tea with coconut, vanilla, and ginger." It's an "uplifting" meal leaving you ready for a workout without feeling full.


A healthy body is created one meal at a time.
