PROTEIN PANCAKES
These Perfect Fit Pancakes from Tone It Up are easy to prepare and taste great! I add vanilla, nutmeg and blueberries to give them more flavor.

½ banana, mashed
¼ cup egg whites
½ tablespoon almond milk
1 tsp cinnamon
Step 1: Mash banana with almond milk before stirring in remaining ingredients
Step 2: Spray pan with cooking spray and heat over medium-low before pouring in batter. Flip when ready. The key to the perfect protein pancake is to cook them slow and low.

BREAKFAST WRAPS
These breakfast wraps can be whipped up quickly and also be frozen. Change up the ingredients to give yourself some variety.
Ingredients, 1 serving
1 tortilla (I usually select a low carb option, there are gluten free or whole wheat options)
3 egg whites
¼ cup chopped tomatoes
¼ cup chopped spinach
2 mushrooms, sliced
sprinkle of sea salt and pepper
Step 1: Spray non-stick cooking spray in a pan and cook egg whites, tomatoes, spinach and mushrooms. Season with sea salt and pepper.
Step 2: Add egg mixture to tortilla and roll tightly. If freezing, wrap in plastic wrap.
To unfreeze, microwave for 4-6 minutes. For added flavor, dip in salsa and enjoy.
