Tasty Tuesday - ProCakes Review

By

As a FitFluential Ambassador, I was lucky enough to have an opportunity to receive a sample of ProCakes to review.


I'm not always a big pancake eater. However, lately, I have been making more protein pancakes on the weekends, especially after a long run. So, I was very eager to try out ProCakes, even more eager when I realized how easy they were to throw together and how simple the ingredients list is.

Here's just a bit of background information from their site:
ProCakes was founded in 2014 by Caren Magill, a fitness enthusiast, bikini competitor and soon-to-be fitness trainer. She left a corporate career in social change marketing to pursue her love of healthy comfort food with zero compromise on taste and enjoyment.

 ProCakes is a high protein pancake mix, designed to satisfy cravings for comfort food while providing a healthy dose of protein to help maintain a lean and strong body. It’s one part nutritional supplement, one part awesome baking mix. Made with no with added sugar, and no gluten, we've fused whey protein with a mix of nutrient dense flours like almond and coconut, and paired them with a mix of lighter gluten free flours to keep the overall pancake experience just like you’d expect to taste. 
Macros (after adding eggs and milk): 20 grams of protein and only 14 grams of net carbs per serving.
All you have to do is mix the packet with 1 egg and 1/3 cup milk of choice. I did choose almond milk so the macros above are going to be a little bit different.


Some protein pancake recipes I've tried can be really dense. These were light and full of flavor. And did I already mention super easy to make? Yeah, that too. I topped mine with some leftover grilled peaches and some peanut butter drizzle (not shown) and dove in.

I not only love the reasons why this company was started, but the pancakes themselves. Healthy ingredients, no added sugars, just clean and simple.

Have you tried ProCakes yet? What's your favorite protein pancake recipe. Better yet, what are your favorite toppings?

Let's Have Coffee

By
If you're a regular blog reader, I'm sure you've seen similar posts, scenarios if you will, about what we might chat about or what I might say if we sat down and had coffee together. I think these can be fun. Maybe fun isn't the right word choice exactly. But maybe it is? They're transparent, showing who the blogger really is ... if they're being honest of course. It's not often you truly get to sit down with the person behind the blog. Banana Nut Biscotti with Banana Glaze If we were to have coffee together ... I would first let you know that I'm not a super fan of coffee. I drink mine with hot cocoa and it's mostly out of habit rather than the need for caffeine. I could forgo it on the weekends entirely. Since we're talking coffee, I would also let you know that I've never ordered coffee from Starbucks and only once from a true coffee shop. I've only been into 2 Starbucks shops - the original in Seattle and one in town wher...

KIND Bar Review + Apple Raisin Wheat Berry Salad

By
Weights & Step As much as I wanted to run today, I knew there was no getting up early enough to do so. Monday's are hard enough without getting up at 5 am to run. Yawn ... So, today I did my weights at lunch then cardio after work. Weights were pull muscles (biceps and back). I did 3 sets of 8 reps of the following: Biceps : Alternating curls Cross-body curls Zottoman curls Back: Single-arm horizontal row Underhand DB rows Double arm rows It was a pretty good workout. I felt pretty strong today for some reason. Love it when that happens. My legs were pretty sore from yesterday's workout, so I opted for a lower intensity cardio: Cathe's Low Impact Circuit - Cardio Only Premix plus abs. It was a great workout and helped to loosen up my legs. KIND Review I have been very remiss with my review of the KIND bars that I won from Jill @ My So Called Health LIfe . I won the Nut Delight. I don't know why, but I expected it to be a tad softer...
