Does anyone ever have those mornings where they wake up and feel legit drunk?
I’m not sure if it’s because I’m sick, but I slept for at least nine hours last night and I woke up feeling exhausted still with a stuffy nose. Boo.
And no, I did not even go out last night, I was in bed by 10:30. Being sick isn’t so fun.
Hot tea helps 
I’m not like deathly sick, just a little sore throat, stuffy nose only when I wake up, and tired.
Tomorrow starts week 7 of the Live Fit trainer! That means I’m halfway done!
I am SO sore from yesterday’s leg workout. There were a bunch of supersets and we are still lifting heavy. I walked out of there with major jelly legs! Love it though.
There’s not much of an update other than I am still loving it and still building muscle. I love that the workouts are always changing so I’m literally never bored.
It’s also crazy to say that cardio is not my favorite part of this trainer which I have mentioned before, the weights are just so much more fun.
Anyway, I also love how creative this has made me. I’m always in the kitchen trying to come up with new ideas for clean eats.
Usually when I find something I like, I stick with it for a while. I’ll eat it almost everyday, but then after a while I get bored with it. What I’ve been eating for breakfast as of late?
Protein pancakes! These babies are really easy to make and have a whopping 40 g of protein.
They’re not really fluffy or anything like regular pancakes, but they are perfect for me. I can eat anything really and be happy.
- 1/4 c. oat flour
- 1 scoop protein powder
- 3/4 c. (or 4) egg whites
- cinnamon
- stevia
Mix it all together, and cook. Today I even sliced some strawberries and put then in the batter while they were cooking. You can top them with whatever you’d like.
This morning I topped mine with some jelly and sunbutter. Yum!
These are perfect for meal one, and I eat all three.
And yes, I grind my own oat flour because I can’t find gluten free oat flour anywhere.
It definitely doesn’t come out as fine as store bought, but I’m sure it’s less expensive as well so I can deal with it being a little grainy.
Have you ever made your own flour?
What is a new recipe you have tried lately?
Do you eat the same things a lot or switch it up?

I make my own oat flour. It’s a lot cheaper and tastes so fresh.
I agree!
These look yummy! I really need to get on the protein pancake band wagon! Everyone is making them and they seem really delicious!
kaila@ healthy helper blog! recently posted..Later than Usual Link Love
you should
Hope you feel better soon! I’ve definitely had those mornings too… take a nap today and drink a kombucha! I swear it solves everything
I’ve never tried making my own flour before. Neat idea!

Ugh, I’m craaaaving a kombucha now! My nearest whole foods is like 20 minutes away =/
Those pancakes look AWESOME! And 40 g of protein? Nice!

Can’t beat it! And hot dang those pancakes look delicious! I may just have to make some for dinner heehee
Hope you feel better soon!
Alexandra recently posted..A Love Letter
Haha hope you enjoy them! The cinnamon and stevia was key for me
I hope you feel better asap! Those pancakes sound great
. I wonder if also adding oats in addition to the oat flour would make them thicker? Yum!
Lindsay @ In Sweetness and In Health recently posted..Lighter Workouts Are Needed Right Now
I’m sure they would, good idea!
Those pancakes sound yummy! I too tend to eat the same things over and over until I get tired of it. The vest thing I’ve had lately was a sandwich from McCalisters Deli
Feel better soon!!
Yum, sounds delicious!
Thank you!
Hope you get to feeling better soon! Tea is a miracle worker
These pancakes sound delicious-a few questions I have: can you make your own oat flour just by pulsing quick oats in a blender until fine? Also, can you recommend a favorite protein powder? I’ve never tried any before so that aisle at the grocery is a little overwhelming!
Megan @ The I Do Diaries recently posted..Instagram, And My First Attempt at Cake Pops
Yup, I do mine either in the blender or food processor! It’s as simple as that
My favorite protein powder is sunwarrior and I order it online, but it’s pretty expensive so only when I have the money.
MRM whey protein is good too, a LOT cheaper, which I found online as well. I also like life’s basic pea,hemp,rice,chia protein powder if you don’t want whey. Just look for minimal ingredients, all natural
I grind my own oat flour too! Those pancakes look and sound amazing. I’m so happy you are loving the trainer and getting nice and strong! I am really boring and eat the same things all the time so I haven’t tried too many new things lately. Last night I made shirataki noodles which I haven’t had for a while and pup my mom’s homemade pesto on them. That was pretty tasty! You probably saw on Pinterest already
Christina @ The Athletarian recently posted..Dear Bob:
I do the same stuff usually too until I go overboard and don’t want it at all anymore! lol I saw, it looked amazing. I’ve never tried shirataki noodles before, I’m scared! lol
Get better soon! Those pancakes look great, I should make my own oat flour instead of buying the expensive stuff! Have a great sundayxo
Lisa recently posted..Fitness loves this week
Thank you! And it’s very easy!
I hardly ever eat pancakes but I have been seeing them around the blog land a lot lately! These sound delicious- maybe with a banana added in
By the way, I just so happened to come across your comment on Food and Fitness Diaries about amenorrhea and I have the exact problem. Last year, mine came twice and this year I’ve had it once. I went to the doctor whom prescribed me with BC, I quit taking it though because I hate the thought of BC (but I’m also not trying to get pregnant.) If you ever need someone to talk too, don’t hesitate! It seems like we have more in common than we think
Mindy – Clueless Nut recently posted..today’s thoughts.
I used to never eat pancakes but I’m on a kick! And wow, we are seriously twins haha ;D
But I haated birth control and I’m convinced that’s what caused my amennorhea.. I was irregular before, but this really screwed me up. Oh well.. thanks so much girl, I’m here if you need to talk as well! <3
I am a switcher upper
hahahaha. I usually never have the same thing 
Maybe two days in a row?
3/4 c egg whites is SIX egg whites girly
1/4 cup = 2 egg whites 
xoxo
Meg recently posted..Seven Things Sunday
I wish I would switch it up more! And really?? My egg white carton says 1/3 c. is 2 egg whites and 3/4 c. is 4! lol oh well
I switch up my dinners, but I eat the same breakfast (oatmeal) and lunch (hummus sandwich) a lot! I can’t help that they’re so good that I crave them all the time.
I hope you feel better soon hun!
Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin recently posted..Fishy eats
lol i crave the same things too! Thanks girl
Dohh I hope you feel better soon Brittany! Great recipe for the pancakes/oatcakes too.. I am loving the protein content of course!
When I like a meal/dish/particular food, I definitely eat it to death until I get sick of it. I want to try and change things up a bit more though!
I have made my own oat flour, so easy and much cheaper
Tessa @ Amazing Asset recently posted..Hey, it’s OK!
For the protein content I want to try peanut flour. I can’t find any in stores and I’m too lazy to order it online.
Haha, I feel ya girl! I ordered mine online a looong time ago
Gotta love pancakes! They are just a vessel for peanut butter, fruit, and syrup
Matt @ The Athlete’s Plate recently posted..Just A Rainy Day
heck yes. nut butter and pancakes are glooorious
Hope you feel better soon love! That’s no fun
Drink lots of tea!
I need a new bfast food because I literally eat the same thing everyday. These protein pancakes look delicious so maybe I will try and switch things a bit

Thank you! I pretty much do too lol
This has to be the best opening line of a post all month!! I HATE waking up feeling drunk, when I haven’t had alcohol in monttthhss!! I love new recipes, I feel like I am creating new versions of old favorites to be vegan friendly right now. I love it.
Brittany recently posted..Appreciation
Lol I swear, I haven’t had alcohol in forever either and I felt waaasted! So happy you’re loving veganism
Get well soon! I have been eating protein oats like it’s my job. Seriously – so good! I may have to make these on the weekend though to change it up a bit. Thanks for posting!
Tiff recently posted..Revisiting the Weekend
Thanks! Protein oats sound realllly good now lol
Those pancakes sound so yummy and full of protein! The only ‘flour’ I’ve ever made was by grinding up whole grain cereal and using that as the flour base in my pancakes. I would love to try and make oat flour and I bet oat bran would work great as well.
Jana @ Newly Wife Healthy Life recently posted..His and Hers Brunch
I’m sure it would!
we enjoy making our own flours, even if they provide a slightly different texture to our recipes
we find they do taste a little bit better too!
Pure2raw twins recently posted..our weekend
Yes, definitely!
I go through moods with my food. I can go in a rotation of favorites for a while or I can be into new things all the time. Usually dinners are much more excited.
Good job on homemade flour! I am surprised Whole Foods didn’t have any for you to buy.

I woke up the exact same way this morning…..ugghh I hate being sick! The hubby was sick last week so I knew it was bound to happen sooner or later.
I LOVE Protein Pancakes- I have them prob 5 of the 7 days for breakfast each week! I usually eat a lot of the same foods, or different versions of the same foods for a little variety.

No fun! Feel better
You’re so creative, girl! I would have NEVER thought to grind my own oat flour. Those pancakes came out so perfect! Also, you’re a muscle machine and I loooove it.
Heather @ For the Love of Kale recently posted..Dear Younger Self
Lol love ya girl!
These look great! I recently had to go GF and I never thought about making my own oat flour! I’m going to try these this week!
It’s super easy! Hope you like it!
Those pancakes look awesome! I’ve never tried to grind my own flour.. Interesting ! Hope you feel better soon!

I swear by making my own oat flour!! Totally works just as well, I’ve used regular oat flour too!

YEA! Love making my own nut flours, have you tried garbanzo yet? it’s awesome! and now i need to get with this live fit program. sore is good, right?
Delish!! I don’t really care if my pancakes are fluffy or not either. Drizzle some organic maple syrup on it and it’ll always be good!
Katy recently posted..How To Make Sure You’re Drinking Enough Water
I’m fighting a bug too, and woke up this morning feeling *exactly* the same way you described: drunk and exhausted! I almost skipped my workout, but I’m glad I didn’t because it actually made me feel a million times better.
Yum, I’m loving your pumpkin protein pancake recipe! Do they taste similar to Jamie Eason’s pumpkin protein bars? I might have to abandon my morning egg routine and try these instead.
I’ve never ground my own flour because oats don’t seem to bother my gluten sensitivity, but I probably should because it would save some money. Plus, I kind of like grainy-textured baked goods!
