Green Patties for St. Patrick's Day

I've never really celebrated St. Patrick's Day, but this year I decided it was definitely the perfect excuse to concoct some green things in the kitchen!  If you don't know what a protein pancake is, then I highly suggest trying them for yourselves!  They are low on carbs, higher in protein and so incredibly tasty.  This St. Patrick's Day inspired recipe is a variation of that, except with a green twist!

Who doesn't love incorporating MORE greens into your diet without even tasting them?! These protein paddy cakes are DELICIOUS (you can't taste the greens) and a great way to up your dose of nutrient packed veggies :)


Protein Paddy Cakes

1 scoop of brown rice protein powder (I used Perfect Fit)
2-3 egg whites
1/2 banana
1/2 cup of spinach
1 tbsp ground flaxseed
Dash of cinnamon (or several if you're like me :)

Combine all ingredients in a blender (Magic Bullet works great) and blend until smooth.  

Warm a lightly greased pan to medium and cook your pancakes a few minutes each side :)

Voila!

 My toppings were Greek yogurt mixed with raw cocoa, peach slices, walnuts and unsweetened shredded coconut. YUM!!
