Nothing gets me going quite like a nice short stack of pancakes....
You feel me?
I have to run and teach a few extra classes at UNE today, but before I do I wanted to make sure you had this recipe for the weekend.
Megan and I were in the mood for some pancakes last weekend but wanted to at least make them halfway healthy, you know?
So we grabbed our tub of Quest Nutrition Protein Powder and gave this recipe a try.
Quest Nutrition Blueberry Pancakes

- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1⁄ 4 cup zero-calorie sweetener
- 1⁄ 4 teaspoon kosher salt

- In a medium bowl, whisk together egg, egg whites, almond milk, baking powder, and vanilla extract.
- Mix in Quest Protein Powder™, Quest® Brown Rice Powder, sweetener, and salt.
- Fold in blueberries.
