Paleo Powder Protein Pancakes

Hello cupcakes!

As I mentioned in my previous post (link here:Clovis Nutrition's Perfect Paleo Powder ), I have been working on creating some delicious recipes using The Perfect Paleo Powder created by Clovis Nutrition. I wanted to start this post by telling you a little about The Perfect Paleo Powder. Also, the recipe for these delicious, protein packed pancakes (pictured below) will follow.

The Perfect Paleo Powder has been “Certified Paleo-Friendly” by The Paleo Foundation. Which means a 3rd party investigated the product and researched every aspect of its creation, from start to finish. They researched Clovis Nutrition's ingredients, supply chains, manufacturing and cleaning methods and confirmed that the product adheres to “the strictest guidelines of The Paleo Diet.” If you would like to find out other products that follow these same guidelines, check out this site: Paleo Movement

How cool is that!? Also, if that doesn't catch your attention, maybe this will. There is a 110 % money back guarantee on this Paleo Powder, so check it out and grab yourself some! Here is the link to purchase it: The Perfect Paleo Powder

The Perfect Paleo Powder Pancakes

Ingredients:

1 serving of Clovis Nutrition's Perfect Paleo Powder

1 banana

2 eggs

Coconut oil for cooking

Place ingredients into a food processor or blender and blend until combined. Here is what the batter should look like:

Next, pour the batter into a pan that has been heated with coconut oil. I made 4-5 pancakes with this amount of batter. One tip I have for you is to wait until the top of the pancakes has set up before flipping the pancake. This helps the pancake not fall apart.









That's all there is to it! Simple and delicious! There are close to 40 g of protein in this recipe. I topped mine with bananas, nuts, and Date Lady Caramel Sauce/ Syrup. What is your favorite topping for pancakes?

"Manly Food": Bacon Jam Stuffed Jalapeño

Hello cupcakes,

My boyfriend calls this "manly food", so I thought it was a clever title for my blog post. I made these stuffed Jalapeños for New Year's Eve. They were such a hit. They were the perfect combination of spicy and a hint of sweet from the Bacon Jam. This recipe is so easy and is only 4 ingredients. Here is a link so you can buy yourself some Bacon Jam: Bacon Jam

Ingredients: 

• Bacon Jam
• 1/2 package of bacon
• 6 Jalapeños 
• 2 avocados

Directions: Start frying the bacon (or cooking it in the oven). Slice the Jalapeños and scoop out the insides. Cut the avocados in half and scoop out the seeds. Slice the avocados into strips or pieces. Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees. Once the bacon is cooked, break into pieces. Start assembling the stuffed peppers by spreading some bacon jam into the pepper. Top the Bacon Jam with a piece of bacon. Cook the peppers in the oven until soft (15-20 minutes in my oven). Take them out of the oven and top with avocado slice.  

Here is what they look like when they are finished. 

I also cooked up some Paleo biscuits to use the rest of the Bacon Jam, bacon, and avocado. 

There are also some other flavors of Bacon Jams: Red Chili & Garlic, Black Pepper, & Bacon BBQ Sauce, Bacon Caramel Corn, Bacon Salt, and Bacon Infused Maple Sugar. Here is the link: Bacon Jam Gifts. These would be perfect for the men in your life.

Clovis Nutrition: The Perfect Paleo Powder + Protein Cookie Recipe

Hello cupcakes,

I wanted to start the New Year off by telling you about a new company I have had the pleasure of working with. The company is called Clovis Nutrition and is created by an awesome man. His name is Justin. Here is a link to his website: Clovis Nutrition.

Further in this blog post I am going to share some recipes I have created using the Powder. 

As many of you know, I have food intolerances that make it hard for me to find a protein powder that I can consume and enjoy. I have been doing a lot of research on different brands and taste testing many different kinds to find one that is truly healthy, mixes well, and tastes delicious. While doing some research, I came across a new upcoming brand that made Paleo Protein Powder. I could not believe my eyes!! 

Here are some quotes from the Clovis Nutrition site about the Paleo Powder: 

• "The Perfect Paleo Powder is unlike any nutritional product available today. It is not a supplement, it is not a "protein powder,” and it is definitely not some fad "weight loss" meal replacement shake. To put it simply, The Perfect Paleo Powder is food… that’s it. In fact, it’s so pure that we can’t even legally call it a supplement. How’s that for Paleo?!"
• "Here at Clovis, we take great pride in offering products that are 100% Paleo without any artificial sweeteners or chemicals. Yes, ZERO artificial sweeteners or chemicals. The Perfect Paleo Powder is derived from only organic whole food sources and helps give your body the fuel it needs to perform at the highest possible level, every single day. With 27 grams of protein, 3 grams of prebiotic dietary fiber, 1,000 milligrams of Omega-3’s and only 12 net carbs. The Perfect Paleo Powder is the perfect post-workout formula for those who train in a world where proper recovery is not optional, it is a way of life!"

I want to start by sharing a good ol' shake using  Paleo Powder. 

I used 8 oz. of unsweetened almond milk and 1 serving of Paleo Powder and added it to a shaker cup. 

Here is what it looked like after shaking it up. I got the texture to be smoother by letting it set for a few minutes and re-shaking it.

I also made some oatmeal using the Paleo Powder. I just made some plain oatmeal and added 1/2 a serving of the powder to it. You could add one whole serving if you want to. I stirred the powder in until it was combined. If you like your oatmeal a little runny, you could add some unsweetened almond milk. I also had some Teami Skinny Tea. 

I decided to make some protein cookies, and they turned out amazing. My boyfriend and his friend really loved them. I should have made a double batch.
