The holiday season is known for its eat-fest of cookies, pies, fudges, sweets and different kinds of heavy desserts, with loads of sugars and fatty creams…
Unfortunately there are too few delicious and healthy Christmas recipes…
Yes, they taste may amazing, but the sad truth is that none of them are really healthy, clean or natural.
Then I thought to myself, “what if I make a recipe that will save Christmas?“.
A recipe that looks like, feels like and tastes like Christmas, but healthy and clean, prepared without grain flour or sugar.
Well that’s a big challenge, but I’m up for it. Because fit girls deserve to get their creamy and tasty sweet treats too.
Since my father is diabetic, my mother traditionally makes a healthier dessert for the holidays.
So I decided to step up this year and take the mixer in my own hands!
I came up with the healthiest and yummiest Christmas dessert recipe of all time – my Protein Christmas Pancakes!
LET THE HOLIDAYS BEGIN! 🙂

Since my father is diabetic, my mother traditionally makes a healthier dessert for the holidays. So I decided to step up this year and take the mixer in my own hands! I came up with the healthiest and yummiest Christmas dessert recipe of all time – my Protein Christmas Pancakes!
|
- 1 piece banana large
- 2 egg whites
- 1 egg whole
- 4 tbsp coconut flour
- 4 tbsp raspberries blended
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 can coconut milk refrigirated
- 3 tbsp protein powder
- Blend the raspberries into a puree (don't worry about the seeds)
- Add the rest of the ingredients into a blender: the banana, egg, egg whites, coconut flour and the olive oil. Blend them until you make sure they've transformed into a homogeneous mixture It should be thick, but pour-able
- Heat a frying pan on medium temperature You should cook every pancake for about 2 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown. When the pancake starts getting bubbles, you’ll know that it’s time to flip it.
- Separate the coconut milk form the coconut water
- Pour the milk in a mixing bowl. Prepare the mixer and start mixing it on medium speed. After a minute, start adding the protein powder one tablespoon at a time, without stopping the mixer. After you finish pouring the protein powder, mix for another minute.
- Crease the whipped cream onto each pancake, arranging them one on top of the other.
- Mix the 3 ingredients, cocoa, honey and water, in a small bowl, with a tablespoon. Mix them until you get a homogeneous mixture. The dressing should be creamy and thick, but pour-able.
- Splash the dressing over your 7-story cake with the help of a tablespoon. To make a nice finish, add a tablespoon of whipped cream on top of the pancakes and a few fresh raspberries. And pour few tbsp of the raspberry puree.
