Today my friends is Wednesday, which means – you need to head over to Jenn’s blog and check out the other awesome “What I ate Wednesday” posts.
Lately I’ve been switching up my breakfasts – a lot. I’m trying to find what works for me before lifting. A banana and almond butter do not make the cut on days I’m at the gym lifting for an hour. I need something a little extra on the side.
5 egg whites, 1/2 cup GF oats (ground into oat flour), 1tsp baking powder, cinnamon, two drops vanilla stevia. Turn the oven on 350F. Bake for 10-15 minutes. Makes a total of 5. Eat them all. Found the recipe on the Live Fit Facebook page.
Today it was 2 egg white puffs drizzled with PB2 with a side of banana & AB (clearly didn’t make the picture).
I have also been starting my day off with some protein pancakes. I found Felicia’s recipe the other day and had a feeling I was going to love it. I did.
Protein pancake topped with banana and PB2 drizzle.
This recipe is so much better than the “oat blend” I was using for pancakes. Grain free makes my stomach much happier. I have made it three days in a row, switching up spices and toppings. A cold banana and PB2 mix is my favorite, for now.
Normally for lunch, I have a salad or a type of protein with tons of veggies but I was starving, I knew the normal salad would not hold me over. I’m trying to avoid grains to eliminate some major bloating t that goes along with it. So far moderate-high protein + moderate-high fats is going great.
I took this halfway through eating. I don’t remember the last time I had plain old potatoes but they were delicious! They had soaked up all the juices from the pork overnight. Sweet potatoes will be back, I miss my one-a-day sweet potato.
Did you know 25-50% of people detect an oder after eating asparagus? (Read the article here!) But only a quarter of the population have the special gene that enables them to smell those compounds. I’m one of those lucky people but I don’t care because I love asparagus.
Hope you all have a wonderful day!

Does your pee smell after eating asparagus? (yes I really did ask this question)
Best thing you have eaten today!?
Hahaha yes and I love asparagus!
so far I’ve only had my breakfast…which was amazing! Happy WIAW
woohoo! i’m so glad you liked the recipe! by the way, i love how you top it with a COLD banana. i do the same exact thing. cold banana > room temp banana as a topping
same with cold berries or applesauce!
and yes, my pee smells after asparagus. coffee too!
Hey Felicia-could you send me the recipe for the protein pancakes? I am unable to find it on the facebook page like it says its found above. My email is sweetteach86@gmail.com
Thanks:)
My pee is guilty of stinkage after asparagus haha! I love that GF oat bake breakfast idea, I definitely want to try that out. Same with that pancake combo–YUM!!
Happy WIAW friend!
Ha I can smell it too..so weird and gross, but like you said, who cares, asparagus is just too tasty to pass up
That’s so weird that some people CAN’T smell it, it seems so very, very obvious to me (and I have to admit, makes eating asparagus extra fun, haha–I’m a mildly gross dork). And yum, PB and banana on pancakes? Can’t ask for anything tastier as far as I’m concerned.
That roasted broccoli looks soooo good! And that’s funny about asparagus. I’ve never noticed it but my friend Annie always complains about it! haha
asparagus is SO worth the weird pee. I love it.
I can’t smell the asparagus, and thank goodness because I don’t want anything to deter me from one of my favorite veggies!! I pretty much do the same thing for lunch too – veggies with protein and some source of fats works best for me!
Bahahha I love you. I actually haven’t noticed much of a smell after I eat asparagus. I loveee this vegetable so much so I am glad it doesn’t affect my pee. I always try to smell a change, but no such luck.
I am SO going to try your protein oatcakes.
