Special thanks to Brandi for sending Carl Daikeler this cool recipe for chocolate pancakes made with Shakeology! (Click Here for her recipe on Carl's Blog)
Chocolate PanShakes
1 chocolate shakeology pack
1/4 cup skim milk
1/4 cup eggwhites
good dash of cinnamon powder
2 tbsp all natural almond butter
1/8 teaspoon baking powder
Whisk together in a bowl.
Use a relatively small frying pan unless you want 1 large pancake. I found it was easier and I made 2 medium size ones. Spray the pan first with olive oil spray. Only takes a minute or two so watch it and cook on low heat so it cooks through and doesn't burn!
It's not ideal to cook Shakeology (weakens some of the nutrient values), but it's a better alternative even cooked than some of the other contents used to make pancakes!
As far as nutrition stats...it is the same as one shakeology pack and then adding either 1 or 2tbsp of almond butter: you would add the following:
9g fat, 3g carbs, 2g protein
3 carbs from 1/4 cup skim milk
6g protein from 1/4 cup eggwhites
You could eliminate the almond butter if you really are watching the fat but it is obviously a heck of a lot healthier pancake version!
Let me know how it goes!
