Get your shrove on!

So this one day of the year where it’s deemed acceptable to eat your body weight in pancakes.

Feared by some and loved by many.

Of course the day has some meaning but now it’s become the heart of who can make the best looking pancakes or eat 15 pancakes in 5 minutes.

Last year i managed 12 of 15 and I tell you, my appetite is rather animalistic however i was beaten! This could have been because these were the driest god damn pancakes i've ever eaten and only given what felt like a teaspoon of maple syrup.

The money did go to charity so I swallowed defeat gracefully.

My point is, if you get the chance to partake then do so. Food and competition is quite beautiful.

Before I said it can be feared by many, that doesn’t mean Pancake nightmares are common. But from past experience when you’re trying to lose weight and have a great intention to do so it can become a battle.

So When pancake day crȇpes up on you, you’ve got two options. Exclude yourself from the annual treat or dive into the glorious world of pancakes. Just remember there is no need to be hard on yourself. Especially when there is a third option.

Removing all the naughty ingredients and keeping it super simple...1 banana and 2 eggs. ( Oats & cinnamon = great addition)

Mashed and beaten or chucked into a nutribullet and fired up. For an extra dose of the pancake goodness, add a small serve of baking powder about 3 Pinches.. Then your flavour of whey or casein powder and mix together for that needed protein intake.

Here you’ve got delicious pancakes with half the calories, the banana keeps them sweet and you can enjoy the goodness without the hard feelings.

Synergy is the most important aspect of life. When you’re faced with two paths and can’t decide between the two.. Find a third alternative. That can set you free and give you the best solution. Not just with pancakes, find synergy is all areas of your life and live in the reward.
