BACK-TO-SCHOOl FAVORITES

As we get ready to send our kids back to school and get back to routines, I wanted to share my favorite back to school recipes that are easy, convenient & best of all YUMMY!

I'll be sharing these over the next few days...one for the kiddos and one for you! Of course, everyone can enjoy them anytime but it's great to have options! 

Let me know what you think!

#1 BREAKFAST: 
PROTEIN PANCAKES
My kids love pancakes! But I like to catch a few extra minutes in the morning by making a batch for a few days and just warming them up in the morning! Consider using a toaster instead of the microwave for a "fresher" taste!

INGREDIENTS:
KODIAK PROTEIN PANCAKE MIX
2 EGGS
2 CUPS ALMOND MILK (or milk of choice)
1-2 tbsp CINNAMON
1-2 tbsp HONEY
non-stick cooking spray
Optional: fruit or topping of choice--bananas, blueberries, chocolate chips
(*note if you use fruit, use the microwave!)

MAKE IT:
Mix dry and wet ingredients separately.
Combine and mix together.
Heat Griddle/pan and spray with non-stick cooking spray (I use avocado oil spray).
Pour 1/4 cup of mix onto griddle. 
*Add toppings now if you like.
When bubbles begin to form, flip and cook other side.
Repeat until all mix is used!

To store: let cook and then place in ziplock bag in the fridge.

OVERNIGHT OATMEAL
Now this is for ME! It's fast, easy and unless you have texture issues, SO YUMMY!
I make 3-4 at a time. I've listed the recipe for 1, so multiply accordingly.

INGREDIENTS:
1 cup ALMOND MILK (or milk of choice)
1/4 cup quick or rolled oats
1 tsp chia seeds
1 serving chocolate protein powder (I use Vegan Shakeology)
*add cinnamon to taste
*use GLASS JARS to refrigerate

MAKE IT:
Add ingredients to glass jar in the order above.
Stir until mixed well.
Place lid on jar and refrigerate overnight.
*ADD 1/4 cup fruit of choice in the morning! Don't forget your spoon if you're heading out the door!
