i have this for breakfast usually and it makes a perfect meal 1 to kick start the day with energy.... i always prepare the batter the evening before so that in the morning i just pour it in the pan and let it cook when getting ready for my workout.
blend together:
1/3 cup egg whites (3 whites)
1/3-1/2 zucchini (depends how soft you want it... i like it soft so i use 1/2)
1/2 scoop protein powder (i use vanilla)
1/4 cup oat flour
2 Tbs oat bran (can use oat flour)
pinch of salt
lots of cinnamon (can omit, but i love cinnamon!)
stevia
1Tbs or 2 of oat milk (don't use cow's milk before workout)
macros: 32.2g protein, 40.9g carbs, 5.1g fats, 343.5 kcal
if you decide to spread it with some organic or home made preserves like i do, than it adds another 12g of carbs to your meal. otherwise you can sprinkle it with stevia and some more cinnamon
why is it good for you?
it's a quick and perfectly balanced meal, ideal to replenish your muscle with glycogen that you consumed during sleep. won't spike your insulin levels because of the fiber from the oats and zucchini. the protein from whey and eggs slows down the absorption of carbohydrates for a slow release of energy during your am workout. this is also why your stomach won't get upset!
and cinnamon....it acts like magic on blood sugar.. in fact, it's used to treat diabetes since it increases insulin resistance. cinnamon also relieves muscle soreness and menstrual discomfort.
enjoy!
