Sunday Mornings and "Dessert" for Breakfast


Happy Sunday! I've been having a slow start on weekend mornings but I still get my breakfast in. I've been slacking on the gym since I've been working on some life projects, including this one. There's really no excuse because I'm supposed to be young and have so much energy but after all, I'm human. But cheers to having this productive Sunday with this dark chocolate chip protein pancake! I also have a side of japanese yams and a cup of green juice I juiced. 

This is the recipe for those of you that are curious! You can truly mix and match the ingredients to whatever fits your mood. 

DRY INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup of oat flour (made from steel cut oats) 
1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal 
3/4 tsp of baking powder 
1/2 scoop chocolate whey protein (I use About Time)
2 tablespoons of brown sugar
WET INGREDIENTS: 
2 egg whites
1/3 cup of almond milk 
2 tablespoons agave nectar 
5 drops of Stevia (or the packet kind)

And add whatever you want! Blueberries, mashed bananas, dark chocolate chips, etc. This time I added dark chocolate chips and topped it with strawberries and blueberries. 
And I know some of you are wondering what exactly is in the green juice that appears in my pictures every now and then. I started juicing just recently actually since there was just a juicer lying around unused in my house. I started to look up 'juicing' online and read what I could about it. I did try to do a juice detox, however I had to stop after day 1. It's unfortunate that I didn't have the willpower to survive without solid foods for just a few days, but I did start to introduce juicing into my daily life. One of the juices during the detox was called the green juice. I don't exactly follow exact measurements to which the recipe I had called for but this is the jist of it: 

Green Juice: 
2 cucumbers
A bunch of parsley
A bunch of kale
A bunch of spinach
2 green apples
6 ribs of celery
Half a lemon (squeezed)
* Add chia seeds (when I have them)

And lastly, if you're wondering about the track I'm playing in the background of the Vine video, it's Dream Koala. Here's a chill track to go with your Sunday. Enjoy!
