Greek Yogurt Panacakes

You will never eat normal pancakes again! These are a delicious, fat free variation and they are packed with protein! 

Ingredients:

• 6oz plain fat-free greek yogurt
• 1 egg white
• 1/2 cup flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• Optional: Fruit and/or flavorings (I added a diced strawberry and a bit of cocoa powder)

Instructions:

Mix the flour and baking soda in a small bowl. In another bowl, combine greek yogurt and egg white. Then combine all the ingredients in one bowl, and add in any other flavorings you may like. Heat a skillet over medium heat and spray with cooking spray. Use a spoon to scoop large globs of dough onto the skillet. When the bottom of a pancake gets firm, flip it! Continue flipping and heating until pancakes are cooked all the way through. Top with whatever you’d like - a bit of butter and light maple syrup always does the trick for me :) Makes about 5 medium-sized pancakes or 3 larger pancakes.

The cells of our body are dying, the neurons in our brain are decaying, even the expressions on our face are always changing, depending on our mood. What we call our basic character is only a “mindstream,” nothing more. Today we feel good because things are going well; tomorrow we feel the opposite. Where did that good feeling go?
What could be more unpredictable than our thoughts and emotions: Do you have any idea what you are going to think or feel next? The mind, in fact, is as empty, as impermanent, and as transient as a dream. Look at a thought: It comes, it stays, and it goes. The past is past, the future not yet risen, and even the present thought, as we experience it, becomes the past.
The only thing we really have is nowness, is now.
