Gluten-free high protein pancakes
Hi friends 
It’s almost Friday! For those of you who are celebrating, how’s the Christmas shopping going? I haven’t done ANYTHING. At all. After a mild freak out morning, I remembered that I work best under pressure 
Then I made pancakes.
Gluten-free, high protein pancakes using:
-1/4-ish C Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free hot cereal mix (oats would be lovely, too)
-a flax egg (1.5 T flax mixed with 3 T almond milk)
-1/2 scoop vanilla Sun Warrior
-Stevia, cinnamon, vanilla, pinch of sea salt
-almond milk, to thin it out
Topped with peanut flour fluff (1/4 C peanut flour, water, sea salt and Stevia) and chocolate chips.
on a new bird plate:
(Word, bird)
I don’t like birds because they’re relatives of dinosaurs, but I liked the plate
Breakfast dreams are made of:
Current tea obsession:
Minty, greeny, glorious.
I’m off to seize the day
See ya later this afternoon!! <3
xoxo,
Gina

I tend to work best under pressure too. Although I am surprised to be done with shopping. That never happens. It feels kind of good.
I work so much better under pressure, and not just with shopping! 🙂
Your pancakes looks delish and so does the TJ’s Candy Cane tea. I’ll have to look for that next time I’m at Trader Joe’s.
Oh no… hopefully your bird hating doesn’t keep you away from my blog. haha 😉
haha! nothing can keep me away from your blog 🙂
I’m making a trip to TJs this weekend, I’ll have to look at their holiday tea flavors!
That is such a cute bird plate — it is so wintery and festive!
That bird plate is SO cute! The pancakes look great too. 🙂
i hate birds too! and that tea has been on everyones blogs these days. it reminds me of celestial tea candy cane lane. i should go stock up!
yum! that tea sounds amazaballs!! good luck xmas shopping! 🙂
p.s. don’t freak out. Christmas is not about the presents and shopping anyway! I know your family is just thankful to have you with them this Christmas! 🙂
That counter looks so cool! And the pancakes looks amazing. I think right now I’m going to go indulge myself with your crepe recipe, though. It’s been a while. With banana “ice cream” and peanut butter inside!
Oooohhhhhh I looooove your bird plate! Birds rock! 😀
Hi Gina- Your Sun Warrior promo looks great! I’m following you on Open Sky and was wondering if this(the promo one) is the anti-aging formula that you have in Open Sky? Or if there is a difference from the ones you are featuring? Thanks!
the promo is for the sun warrior protein powder right now 🙂
OpenSky only ships to the USA…. I am going to cry… 🙁
i’m sorry 🙁 they’re working on getting shipping to canada- hopefully soon!
i’m sorry :(((
It’s ok 🙁 I will just have to cross my fingers and wait for another promo!! I need to work on my patience anyways!! 😉
Love the last pic of you! You look great! I have seen you do that pose before and always marvel that you are blessed with great hip flexors, and probably decades of honing your body from your dance background…lookin’ awesome 🙂
The plate..CUTE! So festive!
And the recipe…nice! I have never used Bob’s hot cereal GF mix before. I need to try it, obvi, b/c your pancakes look great!
So funny that you mentioned that tea cause I bought some 2 days ago and almost half the box is gone! Its soo yummy! Going to try those pancakes too thanks!
I’ve slacked alot this year with Christmas shopping, i made an online order for some stuff, one package will arrive today, and the other just before christmas! i think i only have one more thing to pick up and i’m done. i’m usually more ahead than this!
i wish i could take advantage of the sun warrior deal.. oh well maybe one day!
I’m obsessed with that tea, too. They only sell it during the holidays, so I have to stock up!
I hate birds, too! Everyone always looks at me like I’m nuts for saying that, haha. But the plate is cute, I must say.
Love the new plate!
I’m with you on the bird thing! They terrify me. Like in a 110% true terror kinda way 🙂 Cute plate though!
I LOVE that plate 🙂 The pancakes look amazing too!
Cute plate. I’m doing some last minute shopping via Amazon while rocking out to Christmas music. Thanks for the reading links!
I haven’t done anything either. And I still have a paper to write…eek, need to get cracking on stuff!
Love the plate!
Word, bird.
Have you heard? I was under the impression that everyone had heard…?
I’m sorry. I should be drawn and quartered for making a Family Guy reference. I don’t know what’s gotten into me these days.
bird bird bird, bird is the word, b-b-b-bird bird bird, bird is the word
i used to put stuff off til the last minute on purpose because i knew that’s when my best work would happen! crazy? maybe? genius? definitely!
me too!! 🙂
Looking at that yoga pic of you made me curious – will you be able to continue your yoga practice in Arizona? 🙂 You encourage me to deepen my practice, especially on days when I just want to veg. 🙂
yup! i’ve still been practicing here
Ha thanks for reminding me I should get my but moving and do a little shopping. I haven’t done a thing either. Quick question: I’m following you on Open Sky but can’t see the promo or anything. Should I expect an email sorta like Groupon does?
yup, you should have received an email
Yum pancakes:):):) And i love candy cane tea, its so holiday tasting!
My open sky account is being super finky aka not recognizing my password, even though i have logged in before and its still the same:(:(:( Once i get that figured out, is there anyway i can get a big chocolate instead of vanilla?? I like chocolate so much better!
i think it’s chocolate and vanilla. try adding cacao powder to the vanilla- it tastes just like the chocolate that way
Gina! Love the pancakes!
I ordered my sunwarrior!! Thank you so much for the baller Promo!!!!!!!
I haven’t started Christmas shopping yet either but I’m planning to tackle some of it today! I don’t want to wait too long to do it, or else the mall will be absolutely crazy!
hey gina, i am trying to order some sunwarrior but i am confused…is the deal buy one get one free for two full size proteins or is it a vanilla then a smaller chocolate? thanks!
two full sized- one vanilla one chocolate!
Love the pancakes, and the bird plate is cute. Love the 5 minute workout you mentioned as well – it’s great! 🙂
My Christmas shopping is done – I think. I spent 4 hours at the mall on the weekend and it was brutal, but now it’s out of the way. Just have to wrap everything now! Good luck with yours. The pancakes look fantastic!! 🙂
Thankfully my shopping is mostly done. The pancakes look great! I got that tea from TJ’s last year and loved it! Especially for the price! But apparently everyone else did too because I haven’t seen it since. 😛
I’m echoing Averie, but I love that picture of you. You’ve definitely inspired me to get my butt back into the yoga studio.
my current tea obsession is the cinnamon vanilla black tea from TJs. and i totally stocked up on the sun warrior 😉
Your bird plate has my name written all over it. One thing you forgot to mention is where you got the amazing gem? 🙂 Can’t wait to get my Sun Warrior, despite it’s steep price, I bet it’s worth it!
Enjoy your day, sweet Gina!

I love your bird plate! Super pretty. I’m not much of bird person myself, they are kinda scary. I think I remember hearing that the Crocodile Hunter was scared of chickens. Crazy right? Can’t say I would blame him though!
So I know you love yourself some good vino but I was wondering if you have any recommendations, I am not a wine drinker and came from a family of non wine drinkers and don’t know where to start!
Laura you will LOVE wine! I say riesling or some good white zinfandel!
You should visit eatdrinkandbehopeful.com. Lauren offers GREAT wine recommendations on a monthly, and sometimes, weekly basis. She has really good taste in wines. May I also suggest going to a tasting at a local wine bar first? You can get a really good idea of what you like/don’t like in terms of varietals without having to purchase an entire glass. 🙂
Christina-
I don’t know you, but thanks so much for mentioning my blog. I’m glad people actually enjoy my wine recommendations because I put a lot of time and thought into which ones I want to write about it. I didn’t know people even read them! Thanks so much for reading!
As for Laura-I would try whites first and reds with very little tannins. Those are usually good ones to start off on.
Gina-great looking pancakes..makes me want chocolate and peanut butter!
Thanks ladies!!
try riesling- it’s sweet and slightly bubbly. there’s a brand called “relax” (blue bottle) that i LOVE. for try an organic shiraz 🙂
That plate is super cute! Where’d you find it?
Birds creep me out, too. I think it’s the way they walk like dinosaurs…
pier 1
Errr why don’t you like dinosauers?
the scare me BIG TIME!
Looks like a yummy, healthy breakfast!!!!!! Can’t wait to try it out!
nice lookin cakes.:)
I ordered Sun Warrior! Thanks again Gina. 🙂
I have a HUGE craving for pancakes right now!!!! ahhhh. lol. They look incredible. I still have yet to try Sun Warrior too! I need to get on that asap.
I am going to order Sun Warrior soon! I just can’t justify adding another protein powder to my stash… yet. 😉 Hopefully I can jump on the next promo you offer!
The plate is adorable! I’m cool with birds as long as they don’t get too close, then they scare me.
I love your bangs, too! I’m a little behind on the commenting.
Gina – I received the email about the sun warrior promotion this morning, but was unable to order at work, and somehow when I got home the email is gone ( I must have deleted it!) – anyway you can send it to me again?
Thanks!
Kim
hey kim,
i have no way of sending it to you 🙁 maybe contact opensky??
I am passing this recipe onto my clients!!! Pancakes yum!
I will definiately add the tea to my grocery list. I have not started Christmas shopping and plan to do it all on Saturday. I usually start in August but somehow this year got away from me. Good luck on getting all your shopping done.
Looks like im headed to TJ’s for that TEA! YUMMY! Im going to make those pancakes tomorrow mornign for the kids. I know they will love them!
Oh and review on the eggless nog is that it was perfect!!!!!!!!!!!! I ruined the first batch because 1 c. of rum was just a wee bit to strong for me but the second batch without the rum was AMAZING <3 Thanks so much for the recipe!
i’m so glad you liked it!!!
You are right, that does look like the breakfast of champions! I love chocolate chips on my pancakes.
Good luck on your shopping 🙂 Maybe you’ll find some good last minute deals!
Thanks so much for this awesome Sun Warrior offer! I looove this stuff and now I get to finally try the chocolate 🙂
When you wait until the last minute, it only take a minute 😉 Love you. [Ha, we should probably get started on that Christmas shopping]
I have that tea! It’s so intense and wonderful!!!
i’m in love with it 🙂
