Healthy pancake 6 step recipe!

Banana pancakes are a delicious healthy alternative to regular pancakes! Perfect for breakfast or snacking! And in my opinion they are nicer! 

Makes: 10-12 pancakes 74 calories per pancake!

Ingredients: 

175g slef-raising flour 

1/2 tsp baking powder

2 large egg whites 

1tbsp caster sugar 

225 ml semi skimmed milk 

1 ripe banana (medium) 

1tsp sunflower oil 

200g mixed berries (for topping)

4tsp honey or golden syrup (for topping) 

Step 1: sift the flour and baking powder into a large bowl. Whisk the egg Whites until they are stiff but not dry and whisk in the caster sugar 

Step 2: stir the milk slowly and gradually into the flour mixture, getting rid of any lumps using a metal whisk 

Step 3: peel the banana and cut into thin slices and stir into the batter 

Step 4: fold a quatre of the egg whites into the pancake batter with a large metal spoon until evenly combined then very gently fold in the rest 

Top top: you want to keep as much air in the pancakes as possibe! 

Step 5: Brush a large non stick frying pan with the oil and place over a medium-high heat and add 4 large spoon falls on the batter to the pan spacing well appart 

Step 6: cook the pancakes for 1 1/2 minuets each side until the surface looks almoast dry and you can see small air bubbles, when they are brown take them off the heat and dish up adding your toppings!

ENJOY!!

Fitness motivation top #1

My first tip to getting yourself motivated to do exercise is....

Treat yourself to some new workout clothes whether it's a new pair or trainers or a sports bra! Once you have bought it you will want to get use out of it!

Its important that you feel comfortable in what you are wearing when you are working out (and just generally.) So buy clothes that you love the look of yourself in! Don't worry if you are on a budget, try and dig out some old clothes that you haven't worn for a while and would love to get some use out of! Also nike and Adidas look nice but they are expense and you're paying purely for the brand! Shops such as PRIMARK and H&M both sell sports gear and a good price! 

(H&m sport bra only £9'99!)

If you look good, you'll fell good and it will boost your confidence and motivation when you're doing exercise! 

 I hope this post has given you some inspiration to get motivated!
