PB&J PROTEIN PANCAKES

PB&J PROTEIN PANCAKES

I’m celebrating “Peanut Butter and Jelly Day” a day early with this glorious stack of PB&J Protein Pancakes topped with smashed berries and drizzled in melted peanut butter. The pancakes are so tender and fluffy – easily my best and simplest pancake recipe! They’re also gluten-free, dairy-free, high in protein and low in fat. Every time I make these, I’m stuck on them for a few days because they are just that good.

PB&J PROTEIN PANCAKES

The key ingredient is Jamie Eason Lean Body for Her Peanut Protein, which all-natural and can be used as a peanut spread, sauce, or mixed into shakes (use code “SARAH10” for 10% all orders from www.labrada.com)! I have tried this recipe with powdered peanut butter, but you need a little additional sweetener and it’s still not exactly the same. Jamie’s Peanut Protein is closer to powdered peanut butter than protein powder, so I don’t recommend substituting whey, casein, or vegan protein in this recipe without other adjustments.

The best part – you don’t even need jelly or syrup! Just heat up some berries and mash them up with a little sweetener. If you want to keep the fat content lower, mix two tablespoons of Lean Body for Her Peanut Protein with water to your desired consistency and drizzle over top! But I love my fats and I love my peanut butter 😉

Healthier Beef Nachos (Dairy Free)
HEALTHIER BEEF NACHOS (DAIRY FREE)

May 31, 2023

Sometimes you just get a craving for nachos! I've seen bell pepper nachos floating around the internet, and decided to make my own Healthier Beef Nachos that are dairy-free, gluten-free, macro-friendly and less inflammatory than your traditional nachos. They've got all the goods: tortilla chips, taco beef, tomatoes, jalapeños, olives, dairy-free cheese, guacamole, and sour cream (dairy-free Greek yogurt). I used baked tortilla chips and lean ground beef to lower the fat, and added some bell peppers to up the veggies! Swap the beef for meatless crumbles if you need a vegan version.
