Eliza NoelLeave a comment

My THM-Friendly recipe for Protein Pumpkin Pancakes is an Energizing (carb) meal that’s high protein, low fat, and sugar free. I love figuring out and sharing cheap and easy Trim Healthy Mama friendly recipes. My goal is to make it easy to eat healthy for an affordable price and in a delicious way. This Protein Pumpkin Pancake Recipe is a perfect way to have an Autumn-y meal while crushing your protein goals! It has about 30g of protein in it.

Health Benefits of the Protein Pumpkin Pancake

  • It meets an ideal protein goal of 25g+. Protein is essential because it’s what helps your body keep and build muscle. Without muscle, your body can’t burn fat, and overall health quickly goes downhill. The fact that it contains this much protein makes it a Trim Healthy Mama Friendly Recipe that’s up-to-date with the plan’s new Wisdom ways.
  • It’s a carb meal, yay! Good, healthy carbs are so important. Especially for us women. Ideally, half or more of our meals should contain good carbs (so not white bread or sugar, no, no, no).
  • Energy boost for breakfast. Good carbs are especially a good way to start your day! They give you that nice little burst of energy.

Creamy Banana Milkshake//THM Friendly E, Low-fat, High-protein Breakfast

Eliza Noel8 Comments

My THM Friendly recipe for a Creamy Banana Milkshake is an Energizing (carb) meal that’s high-protein and low-fat. As an aspiring health coach for women, I love finding cheap and easy Trim Healthy Mama friendly recipes. My goal is to eventually make it easy for my clients to eat healthy for an affordable price and in a delicious way. This Banana Milkshake is one I came up with the other day, and I’ve already had for breakfast a few times. Both the frozen banana and half-and-half give it a delightful creaminess that actually tastes like ice cream! I almost couldn’t believe it was healthy and good for me. While you can totally eat hearty breakfasts and still be on plan, sometimes I enjoy the simplicity of a smoothie, and I can take it on the go. This only took about 3 minutes to make.
