Green Protein Pancakes

February 10, 2014 by Julie 73 Comments

Today’s workout: 50 Rep Workout

But let’s skip ahead to the green stuff!

Green Protein Pancakes

At my sister’s bridal shower this weekend, I spent some time chatting with one of her friends who is really into green smoothies. We obviously share this love since I make myself a green smoothie of some sort multiple times a week. When she asked me whether or not I’ve ever made green protein pancakes, my interest was immediately piqued.

She told me that she will add a handful of spinach to her protein pancakes before she blends everything together and I was intrigued enough to give green pancakes a try this morning.

While the green pancake I made looks like something the Grinch or Shrek would love, it was surprisingly delicious!

Green Protein Pancake

I’m sure you could play around in the kitchen and add a handful of spinach to a number of protein pancake recipes, but I combined the ingredients listed below with an immersion blender this morning and loved the end result.

Green Protein Pancakes

  • 1 cup egg whites (I use the kind from the carton)
  • 1 handful fresh spinach
  • 1 tablespoon almond butter
  • 1/2 cup old fashioned oatmeal
  • 2 packets stevia
  • Cinnamon to taste

Yes, it looks rather scary, but the pancake was really tasty! It’s worth a try if you can get past the vibrant green color.

Green Protein Pancake Recipe

A quick note: I made my pancake in a small skillet and I think the batter might be a little too runny to make on a griddle. I first tried pouring the batter on the griddle and the pancakes looked like they would’ve been really thin. Cooking a single pancake in a small skillet resulted in a single thick, fluffy pancake.

Not a bad way to start a Monday!

      Julie,
      I like to purée a bag or two of spinach with a little water and make, as, uh…interesting…as it sounds, “spinach juice.” I then use the juice as part of the liquid component when making oatmeal (I like to use protein powder in the oatmeal when I use the spinach juice.) or scrambled eggs. You can always add fresh (unpuréed) spinach to scrambled eggs, but you get more green when you use the juice!

    I think I’m going to have to buy a cute recipe box like your Leslie got at her wedding shower, and just copy all your recipes into it!

    I’ve been making your standard egg-white and oatmeal pancakes for a while & tried these out today – they’re awesome! I love how blending it thickens the batter & makes the pancake a bit fluffy. I didn’t blend in the almond butter – just spread it on half. It was great both plain & with the AB – new favorite!
