Homemade Lemonade GGMS {thm - fp}

This morning I made this delicious lemonade recipe!  It's nothing fancy, but it sure is tasty - and will be even better on a hot summer day!  Here are the instructions...

*Put 2 cups water in your blender and add 2 whole lemons (just peel the outer yellow off, but leave as much of the white as possible.)
*Blend until there are no more chunks
*Strain through a mesh strainer or cheesecloth.

*Pour back into blender and add ACV (a few tbsp), sweetener of your choice (I used a Truvia, stevia extract blend), ginger (I used the paste, but later found out there is added sugar in that!!  Will use powdered next time!)
*Blend again
*Taste and adjust flavor to your liking
*Pour into a pitcher and add 4 cups of water and stir.
*Enjoy!

Protein Pancakes {S}

Last week, during desperate times of being on the 1st week of my FC and having NO staples I modified a recipe (Cake in a mug, pg 380) and came out with something genius! :)

Protein Pancakes - S, FP

*Crack 1 egg into a bowl and whisk.
*Add 2 Tbsp protein powder
*Add 2-3 Tsp Truvia or sweetener to taste
*Add 1/2 Tsp baking powder
*Dash of vanilla
*1 Tbsp water
*1 Tbsp (if S) or 1 Tsp (if FP) Coconut Oil
*Mix together and cook in butter or coconut oil
*Top with sugar free syrup or any homemade syrup!

Makes 1 large pancake or 2 medium sized pancakes

**Modification - if you don't have an egg, don't fret!  Just use a bit of extra water and enjoy!!


This morning I ate these with a fried egg and water and it was a great breakfast!  I've also made it as just a snack or in addition to a protein shake when I'm in a hurry to get out the door. 

I hope you enjoy!
