Starting your day off with a clean, high protein breakfast lays the perfect foundation for desiring clean foods throughout the rest of your day. Don't let fancy marketing claims fool you; I can assure you that a Nutri-Grain bar isn't by any stretch the ideal fuel your body demands.
I often begin my day with a bowl of oats and four to five egg whites. Like with any routine, switching things up a bit is often necessary to keep "easy-outs" at bay. Recently, I was reminded by my extremely fit sister-in-law, Jenny Hansen, to turn to one of my favorite recipes, Egg Whites & Oats Pancakes, when a little change in the breakfast theme is necessary. It's the perfect fix for making you feel like you are eating something entirely different, even though you are using the same exact ingredients!
Ingredients (Makes One Pancake)
Five Egg Whites
1/2 Cup of Oats
1/2 Teaspoon Quality Ground Cinnamon
1 to 2 Teaspoons Raw Agave (or Natural Stevia) - OR leave this ingredient out all together as I did today :)
Directions

Directions
- Beat five (or whatever your heart desires) egg whites using a blender and/or hand held mixer until fluffy texture is reached (roughly 30 to 45 seconds).
- Add remaining ingredients and stir together.
- Spray a small frying pan with a natural medium to high heat oil and place on stove on medium heat.
- Pour "pancake batter" into small frying pan
- Cook on medium heat until bubbly, a little dry around the edges, and lightly browned on the bottom.
- Flip, cook other side.
- Enjoy! While I enjoyed this plain today, you could top with berries! Mmm so good!
