Some way, some how, my day went from a nice catch up day of work (not too bad), to crazy busy afternoon. I had no idea that was coming. My morning started off lovely.....ended up not having to sub a conditioning class and had another morning client reschedule. WOO HOO....Freedom! This meant I could sip on my coffee a little longer, make my husband breakfast, then head out for a trail run in some sunshine. Couldn't be better. I even had time to make post run protein pancakes! But as soon as noon hit, BAM, back to the nitty gritty and more! So now I am taking a little break from to work, phew!
Here's the photo re-cap of my Thursday "morning glory" for ya. Short, sweet, and to the point!

Here we Go!
Beauty of Austin
Stopped to admire our Texas Bluebonnets!
REFUEL!
"Cocoat" Protein Pancakes (cocoat is my slang for an oat and coconut flour combo. Corny?... yes!)
- 1/3 cup coconut flour
- 1/3 cup oats or oatbran (I used a mix of GF oats & oatbran)
- 4 egg whites (or 2 egg white and 1 egg)
- dash of baking powder
- dash of cinnamon and ginger (ginger is optional of course)
- 2 heaping tbsp of unsweetened apple sauce
- 1/4 cup unsweetened plain or vanilla almond milk
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese (this was a HEAPING 1/2 cup)
- 4 tbsp vanilla protein powder
Makes around 7-8 medium pancakes.
No topping shown here but I ended up sprinkling them with a few blackberries and honey. DANG GOOD after a run!
Now I must get back to work. Happy Almost Friday!
Cheers,
LC
