PROTEIN PACKED AND ENERGIZED Remember all of the fad diets; the South Beach Diet, the Watermelon Diet, Atkins Diet-- and the list goes on. Well, any eating plan that is balanced and in corporates the major food groups is not really a diet but a lifestyle change, one that I am ADJUSTING too, as I snuck mini chips ahoy cookies from my daughters snack pack... ooops, they were minis..... Well a protein packed diet not only keeps you fuller longer but supports lean muscle and gives you energy throughout the day. Men are recommended to have about 56 grams of protein per day and women 46 grams of protein per day. If you are on the run throughout the day and really only have time for breakfast I found an awesome pancake mix that is protein packed and keeps you satisfied until late afternoon snack time, you know that 2pm feeling. Its Kodiak whole grain pancakes with protein. The serving size 4 pancakes (its not a lot because they are thin) have 14 grams of protein but if you add milk you get 18 grams of protein and if you add milk and 1 egg you get 21 grams of protein. They are so good even my kids love them. I add a few shakes of cinnamon and touch of brown sugar and when I say a touch I mean a touch, like 2 table spoons or less or you can replace with honey. Mix well. You don't need syrup. ENJOY!
