In our humble opinion, mornings were meant for the smell of coffee, silky duvets, hitting the snooze button, cuddling with our S.O. (preferably of the four-legged variety), and devouring big, fluffy pancakes. One of the only things that eventually lures us out from under the covers, the latter is one of our all-time favorite ways to start the day—despite an ingredient list that is typically less than favorable. However, leave it to the girls at Tone It Up (who continuously contribute healthy tips and keep our workout and nutrition game in tip-top shape), to come up with an insanely delicious, guilt-free take on the breakfast classic that has all the cakey goodness, sans gluten or added sugars. Bananas offer a natural, caramel-y sweetness (not to mention good-for-you potassium and fiber), while egg whites and protein powder keep hunger pains in check. Three words: Pass the syrup. See below for the entire recipe!
Ingredients:
- 1 scoop/packet vanilla Perfect Fit
- ½ banana (mashed)
- ½ tablespoon almond milk
- ¼ cup of egg whites
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
