I have fun making recipes. Sometimes, they turn out scrumptious, and well other times, they're quite disgusting. Here's my latest invention, Chocolate Falafel's. Did I mention, they're healthy & low carb? I know, how exciting. They taste better than they look in the picture.
Here's how you do it...
Chocolate Falafels:
Shake 1/2 cup or 2 egg whites and 1/2 scoop chocolate Beachbody whey protein powder in a shaker cup or blender (best option). Pour the mixture into a large skillet sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Cook on med-high heat for a few minutes, then when you can easily pick the pancake up with a spatula, flip & cook the other side for about a minute. Serve plain, with sugar-free syrup or PB2 mixed according to package directions & Enjoy.
For chocolate pancakes:
Place 1/4-1/2 cup plain oatmeal in a food processor until oatmeal becomes fine. Add the oatmeal to your shaker or blender (best option) with egg whites & whey. Blend well. Cook based on directions above.
I like using ground flaxseed meal for recipes to make it heart healthy (flax is jam-packed with omega-3). You can add it in place of the oatmeal for a nuttier, lower carb option. You can also play around with ingredients to add such as cocoa powder, PB2, stevia or a little honey, etc.
