I go through food phases, I get stuck on one thing and make it almost daily... until I try something else after a bit that I love.... then I focus on the new thing eating it daily. Phase repeats itself. I called it "food fixation," do you do this too?
This recipe is my latest food fixation. I have been eating it almost daily for about 3 weeks now. It came about while moving when I did not have a blender unpacked to make my favorite protein pancakes. Waaaa. Well then one day, I decided that I could probably mash up the stuff with a fork and I could replace the oats with whey powder to give it even more protein! And voila. A new food fixation was born.
I tried it with several variations (including chocolate whey, bananas in the syrup too, just peach, just blueberries) and this is my favorite.
Blueberry Peach Microwave Protein Pancake

What you do-
Put the blueberries, peaches, and syrup into a microwave safe bowl.Microwave on high for 1.5 minutes or until warmed through.
In a microwave safe plate- mash together the whey protein, egg whites, and banana half... then stir well to incorporate.

Top the pancake with Greek yogurt, syrup/fruit mixture, and cinnamon.
