HELLO!!! I have 2 Protein Pancakes Recipes for YOU!

Hey!!!! I have been a crazy busy lady over here, so I apologize for the lack of posting. Just a heads up for those who don’t know–Follow me on my Facebook Page—> ONEFITFOODIE  https://twitter.com/1fitfoodie--> @1FITFOODIE and Instagram--> @1FITFOODIE where I am constantly posting workouts, recipes, clothing, things I love, motivation–you know the drill!

Well the Marathon was on Monday and I have to say it was an incredible weekend/week.

I can’t even put into words the emotions I was feeling the weekend leading up to and on the day of. I live basically at the finish line and being so close to the bombing last year, I chose to get out of the city for the actual Marathon day. It all felt too real even a year later and although I wanted to watch and support, I felt that there would be no better way than doing it from my hometown. Walking to work on the days leading up to the race, seeing the energy and vibe in the city, I will say there were some tears shed. I loved looking at all of the faces of the runners and fellow Bostonians and knowing that we are all together in this. It was an extremely special week and I am so proud to call Boston my home. It is times like these that make me find it hard to think about living anywhere else

Jil and I had some fun in the Hynes Expo Center on the Saturday before the Marathon!

 

Cheering from my Hometown! (right near Heartbreak Hill) Needless to say, It was a great weekend and incredible day. I can’t even say how many 80+ runners passed by us. I had chills, tears, smiles, anxiety all in one. It was truly phenomenal.

Now what else have I been up to? Well, I am LOVING my new job and feel both challenged and energized. The atmosphere at my new spot is extremely motivating and the people are beyond knowledgeable and fun to work with! There is always someone around to talk to, bounce ideas off of, learn something new from and also workout with! As you all know, I go through workout ‘phases’  and this is an important way I have found balanced over the past several years when it comes to my health, mind, body and soul. I love talking to the trainers at work because each trainer has a different ‘speciality’ or something they love. Who knew I would wrap my hands and take a stab at boxing?! I most recently have been re-visting the erg which I have been loving as a form of my cardio. I will be dedicating a whole post to rowing (including videos, form, my advice) in the near future so stay tuned for that!  AND of course, I am keeping up with the strength, yoga and SPIN! I have to say I have turned into a Flywheel gal. I try to take at least 1 class a week at the studio in the Prudential. The convenience is incomparable for me and the energy and competitive nature in that studio truly pushes me to the limit (when it comes to a sweaty cardio workout!) WIth that said, I am taking my first Soul Cycle class this weekend at the new Chestnut Hill Location with one of my best friends, so I will be super curious to see the difference between the two! I will for sure keep you all updated and share my personal breakdown of the styles of classes. (It is going to be hard to beat Fly!)

What have I been eating? Well you know the usual-Lots of veggies, proteins, avocados, fish etc. Oh and macaroons, Pinkberry and dark chocolate. BALANCE, ya know?!

 

I have recently made two protein pancake recipes which both turned out DELICIOUS! I wanted to share these recipes with you! Both times I made these pancakes

The first set of Protein Pancakes I made on Marathon Monday. This pancake was fruit filled and deliciously light and fluffy! Right when I put it on the plate I added some coconut butter on it as well.

You  could obviously change up the flavor of protein powder or fruit to make it to your liking! I usually use up what I have on hand first when it comes to recipes so the berries in my fridge made their way into this pancake! Other times I have used bananas or blueberries.

My next recipe for protein pancakes is a chocolatey one indeed!!
