These pancakes offer:
284 calories (1189kj)
Only 5.6g of fat
Just 18.4g of carbohydrate
A mere 1.4g of sugar
and a muscle building 37.2g of protein!!

Ingredients:

3 egg whites

1 scoop (approx 30g) vanilla protein powder

20g self raising flour

1 tblsp light philadelphia cream cheese

Method:

Beat egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Add cream cheese and continue to beat. Sift in flour and protein powder and fold mixture until combined. Do not over mix as you toughen and flatten the mixture.

Heat a non-stick pan over a medium heat and pour half of the mixture into the pan. When bubbles form, flip the pancake over. Cook through and serve. Delicious with a smidgen of honey and some fresh berries!
