3 Ingredient Protein Pancakes: Dairy Free, Gluten Free, Fabulous

49shares

Protein, protein, protein is the name of the game for this girl right now.

It’s so necessary as the body tries to recover from injury and your normal workouts!Plus, as I learned during my metabolic efficiency test if I balance my meals with carbs and protein then I stop that insulin swing which not only messes with our moods, but can help with fat loss.

This particular recipe is a double whammy on protein thanks to  liquid egg whites. I use this brand because there is only 1 ingredient, no strange fillers, just 100% real liquid egg whites.

3 Ingredient Protein Pancakes

I often get asked if I’m gluten free and the answer is “not really”. I just tend to gravitate towards meals that aren’t super heavy in things that would have gluten, like I don’t care for pasta and in bread I’m a massive sourdough fan!!

Therefore this is a fabulous allergy friendly high protein recovery meal! gluten free high protein pancakes

Ingredients:

  • 1 scoop protein powder (I used Vega Sport Vanilla because I LOVE this plant based brand)
  • 1 banana
  • 3 tbsp AllWhites® 100% liquid egg whites

Directions:

  • Mash banana
  • Mix in protein
  • Add AllWhites
  • Pour into a sloppy mess because we aren’t food bloggers, we’re runners.
  • Plate and devour!!! You can top it with peanut butter, but honestly I let mine cool and grabbed it to go!
  • These also pop in the fridge so you can snack later.

Delicious, #lowcarb, high protein, 3 ingredient post workout #recipe Click To Tweet

I’ve talked a lot about the importance of your post workout meal. Take advantage of the chance to eat real foods over gels during your run! It’s not just about calories, but what those calories are doing for you to boost recovery and ensure you’re ready for the next run.

Personally, simple needs to be part of the plan for me to get in a good meal and that’s why I love this. Also, confession mine is usually topped with nut butter and a side of green smoothie!

Why use egg whites?

Nothing wrong with a whole egg!! But here are my thoughts on using AllWhites for recovery recipes:

  • Rich in protein, 5 grams per serving, while only 25 calories
  • Creates a VOLUME boost to my meal, which makes me feel fuller
  • No fat
  • Half the calories of traditional whole eggs
  • Less than 1% carbohydrate content
  • I ALWAYS sample the batter and this way it’s actually safe to eat
  • Great option for protein smoothies, no flavor, extra volume
  • Safer to use in things like salad dressing, no fear of food born illness

If you’re in the mood for more high protein breakfast ideas, I’ve got 97 of them waiting for you!

What’s your favorite way to make pancakes?

BUT even picking routes with hills pays off. So a few tips to SAVE AND USE to get the most from them.
//
👁 Eyes: look ahead not down this will keep your chest up and you standing tall

💪Arm swing: swipe to see the upper cut motion that will propel you ⬆️

🦶Feet: take shorter faster steps and don’t run on the balls of your feet overtaxing the calves

🥵Effort: focus on maintaining the same effort not pace.

Mentally remind yourself of the great downhill coming for recovery! For every up there must be a down (lies I tell myself 😂while running).

👉👉How often do you incorporate hill repeats??
🛑STOP ROLLING YOUR IT BAND. You can’t lengthe 🛑STOP ROLLING YOUR IT BAND. You can’t lengthen it or loosen it that way.  So while it’s inflamed that’s like pushing in a bruise and asking it to heal.🙈
//
SAVE THIS! 📌

What to do instead:
1️⃣Roll the surrounding muscles, especially glutes, TFL, quads and calves. If they are tight they pull on your IT Band causing knee pain.

2️⃣Do glute and hip strength constantly- that is what will resolve it long term. Lots of videos here and in my 30 Day Core Program for Runners that will help.

3️⃣Use heat to relax the muscles, don’t use ice on your already right ITB. It will get tighter.

4️⃣Rest doesn’t fix ITB. Stop running through pain, but you have to do the above to actually fix it.

Have you ever dealt with ITB? Did you know not to roll it??

ITB issues are no fun and often feel like a never ending battle once it starts, but I promise these things will help.😁

PS - yes I pulled out an old video today and dang look at my hair!! Miss those long locks.
