Met-RX Protein & Oats - Vanilla Cinnamon

Since I LOVE pancakes, have done since I was a kid, and have mastered my perfect protein, gluten free, sugar free pancake, I thought I would play around with Met-Rx's Protein and Oats formula for those days where I need quick fuel. It meant far less calories than my usual 1/2 cup of oats with a scoop of protein powder, yet offers just as much protein.

Now I don't know whether this formula was meant to be eaten in pancake form but that's never stopped me before from going out of the ordinary.

My first attempt; egg whites, unsweetened vanilla almond milk, protein and oats formula. Outcome; rubbery, stiff and dry.
My second attempt; since they were so dry and stiff as a board, I decided to add mashed banana and Greek Yogurt to moisten them up. Outcome; mushy, fell apart and half cooked. Whoops, too much moisture.
My third and final attempt; got rid of the egg whites and just used almond milk and protein and oats. I also added fresh sliced strawberries. Outcome; YUM!!! They were a perfect consistency, for me, and the strawberries added a fresh and fruity twist. The formula itself is really quite sweet. They were slightly crisp on the outside, yet fluffy on the inside. Perfect, so simple and LOW calories with the perfect macro-nutrient ratio for me.

I also ate the leftover batter from the bowl and you could absolutely eat this on it's own like a cereal or like a shake, as it is intended for.

Overall rating; 8/10
