Today for some reason feels like a Sunday. I was lazy waking up and watched some tv before getting out of bed. (Hello, Miss Piggy on Project Runway!), and then decided to make brunch. Well my favorite brunch food has always been pancakes. My mom would make them every Sunday and even each dog would get their own (and boy did they drool for them).
So today was no exception. I decided to make Chocolate Covered Katie's Single Serving Banana Pancakes. I dont need to make 4 servings of pancakes for myself, or I'll eat them all in one setting. So I found her recipe a few months ago by just plugging into good ol google, 'vegan pancakes +single serve.' These are delicious, easy to make, and just enough to make me full. Today I added slices of apple to make them even more healthy and delicious. My pancakes with maple syrup were just a little under 400 calories, 2g fat, 5g protein, and 4g fiber.
I also had Gimme Lean Vegan Sausage patties. These things are the best invention ever. Ever. Two patties are only 60 calories, 0 fat, 7g protein, 3g fiber. You heard me. Maybe you are not vegan, but these bad boys are spectacular. They taste just like a nutty, smoked, maple sausage. I had my entire family try them and even my sister loved them. You can find Gimme Lean sausage in a tube at most local grocery stores in the produce section (as well Trader Joes and Whole Foods).

This looks delicious!! I'm going to try out those sausages if they have them at Trade Joes when I go today. :) I'm not a Vegetarian but some vegetarian foods are way healthier than others :) (P.s. Just followed your blog!)
ReplyDeleteI hope you found them! Mine didnt have it in stock a few weeks ago and I was so sad since I ran out :) Let me know what you think of them! And thanks for following!!
DeleteI found this post after reading your most recent Goodebox post and I bought some of the Gimme Lean tonight! I am so excited to try it. I love sausage but I try not to eat it often because it is disgusting when you really think about it. I might try some for breakfast tomorrow :)
ReplyDeleteBritt, what did you think of it?? I think it is so yummy!! It's a little messy before it is cooked, but its worth it once it starts to sizzle and gets perfectly crisped on each side!!
DeleteIt was so good! Definitely getting this when I have a craving from now on. We even bought some of the ground beef style and put it in chili. My stepdad didn't even know and he is so picky. My mom and I are never going to tell him hehe. And I could finally share my chili with one of mt friends who is vegetarian and he loved it, too.
Deletewohoo!! Im so glad you liked it too! I've never tried their ground beef product, Ill have to try it! My mom and I do the same to my dad too haha. What they don't know what hurt. Plus, its better for them! ;)
