Greek Yogurt Protein Pancakes

We looooove pancakes and eat them multiple times per week. We don't just eat them for breakfast though, we will eat them for lunch or dinner or even as a snack. I like to make little tweaks each time and wanted to share my newest creation with you.

NOW Foods was kind enough to send me wide variety of their products (yes, for free) to try out. As you know, I went up to Chicago a few months ago and met with many people at NOW Foods and was even able to tour their facility! I was very impressed with their products and the compnay in general so I'm excited to start introducing you to even more of their awesome products over the next few months. (You can read more about my trip here.)

You can purchase many of the ingredients listed below here on Amazon or browse NOW Foods products here. They have so many products! Things like the maple syrup and sugarless sugar listed below to supplements, and even delicious energy/trail mixes!

Clean Eating Everyday Pancakes

I've had this recipe done FOREVER because I've been making these almost every single week for Scott...I just could never get a good picture so I asked my amazing friend Kenzie (of Hettman Homestead) if she would make them and take a picture and she said yes! She's the one that we collaborated with to produce Baby Eats Clean, Breakfast Crock Pot Recipes eCookbook, and our FREE Desserts & Treats and Fit Festive Foods eCookbook. You can find out more about all of those amazing books here. So thanks to Kenzie and her amazing pictures, I can finally share this yummy recipe with you!

Another problem was that I also had no name for these and literally could not think of anything. Scott said to call them everyday pancakes (since he eats them every day). I'm not a big fan of the name but I'm going with it anyway! These pancakes are perfect to make in advance. We store them in the refrigerator and take out a few each time we want to eat them. You can heat them back up or enjoy them cold!

Chocolate Chunk Protein Stack

Hello! I am super excited to be guest posting on He and She Eat Clean!

My journey to living a healthier and happier life started in 2011 when I learned about weight lifting and how to cook delicious clean foods. I have always loved to cook but did not really know how to cook clean/healthy meals and actually enjoy them. One day I decided to go onto Pinterest and search “clean recipes” which led me to reading TONS of healthy food blogs. That was a total eye opener! Not only were the recipes healthy but they were very easy to make and SUPER delicious. I was sold.  Here I am 4 years later with 3 NPC fitness competitions under my belt, much more motivation and energy than I have ever had before and a much broader knowledge of healthy yet extremely yummy foods! I definitely still have a serious peanut butter addiction though. I fear that will never change.

Not only do I love peanut butter but I am quite a fan of chocolate. Dark chocolate, chocolate chip cookies, chocolate covered strawberries… etc. Below is one of my absolute favorite chocolate recipes to date. What’s even better is that it’s

a breakfast recipe. Chocolate for breakfast is a must… at least I like to think so!
