It's true, breakfast is the most important meal of the day!

I'm going to show you how to make a great healthy breakfast that will fill you up and you'll love! Try these pancakes.

Here's what you need:

1 cup peeled, sliced and cooked Granny Smith apples
1 cup blueberries
2 egg whites
3/4 cup Quaker Oats Instant Oatmeal
1/2 cup multi-grain pancake mix
2 scoops Prolab Vanilla Pure Whey Protein Mix
2 tablespoons vanilla or plain non-fat yogurt
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup cold water
Nonstick cooking spray

Don't forget the topping!
Try fresh strawberries, bananas, kiwis, pineapple. Sounds tasty right?

Here's how to prepare these tasty pancakes:

1 Prepare the filling; wash, peel, de-core and slice apples into small pieces. Place apples in a small bowl and microwave on high for two minutes. Rinse blueberries well and set aside. Beat egg whites and set aside.

2 Prepare the batter;  in a large bowl combine oatmeal, pancake mix, Prolab Vanilla Pure Whey Protein mix (available in health food stores), yogurt, cinnamon and vanilla extract. Gradually stir in egg whites, apples and water, mixing until a thick consistency. (Spatula should stand upright in batter).  If batter is too thick, add a little more H2O; if too thin, add a little more oatmeal. Gently fold in blueberries. 

3 Preheat non-stick sprayed large skillet on stovetop over medium heat; place two to four large spoonfuls of batter in heated skillet.  Pancakes should be approximately three to four inches in diameter.  Check pancakes in a few minutes by sliding spatula under and looking for desired brownness. Flip and repeat to other side.

4 To Serve; top pancakes with your favorite fruit and sprinkle with cinnamon.  Excellent with honey or maple syrup. Try peanut butter or your favorite yogurt. Makes 4-6 pancakes. Enjoy!

Pancakes are great if you are on the go.

Try doubling the batter and preparing enough that will last you a few days. Wrap up the leftovers, they will hold up great in refrigerator. Just pop one in the microwave for 30 seconds, top with peanut butter or jelly and out the door you go!  Great early afternoon snack too!  High energy!
