My love of pancakes continues... they are my go to post workout meal. Protein pancakes make a great post workout because you get a nice rush of carbs and easy to digest proteins. Plus, they feel very rewarding.

Rainbow Stir Fry with Black Bean Noodles
Rainbow Stir Fry with Black Bean Noodles

Stir fry is one of those dinners that I crave. I crave the loads of vegetables, chewy chunks of protein, and whatever bed of rice or noodles it lies on. For this variation, I went away from traditional soy sauce or ginger flavors and used a smokey tomato sauce instead. The result was a warm, rich, and saucy bowl filled with Vitamin C and lots of protein... both great for recovering from a long day or hard workout.

Superfood Chocolate Strawberry Oats
Superfood Chocolate Strawberry Oats

Whenever I find large containers of berries on sale, I buy a lot of them and use them for days... in everything. Whatever I can't use, I just freeze. This is a great way to keep costs down and get in all the nutrients that berries provide. Berries also boost something that most fruits don't, lower carb and calorie content. Try this recipe out the next time that you have a lot of berries on hand.

Vegan Double Chocolate Peanut Butter Pancakes
Vegan Double Chocolate Peanut Butter Pancakes

I use cacao and dark chocolate almost daily in my diet. Cacao is full of health benefits including a high amount of iron and calcium which if you aren't eating animal products, you may be lacking. Honestly, I just love the flavor. It's especially good with the slightly salty taste of peanut products. I like to use the PB2 Powdered Peanuts with Premium Chocolate when having rich chocolatey foods to give a nice mix of flavors. This pancake stack is vegan, low fat, healthy, and great for a busy day ahead.

Apple Oats - High Volume Low Fat Protein Oatmeal
Apple Oats - High Volume Low Fat Protein Oatmeal

I make a LOT of oatmeal. Somedays I want a more decedent dessert like bowl (actually that's most days) but on other days, I want a really filling bowl with a lot of food in it. That's where boosting the volume of your oats comes in. Instead of using more oatmeal to make more food, I utilize fruit as the filler.
