For breakfast this week, I'm making berry protein pancake bites. I'm so excited for

these. I'm probably going to pair this with some bacon, turkey bacon, sausage, maybe some

eggs. We'll see. Add in a little bit of extra protein, but let me show you what you'll need

So these are made in a mini muffin pan. I bought mine off of Amazon. I will link it

down below for you. You're going to need some pancake mix. So I'm going to use the Clean

Simple Eats Protein Pancake and Waffle Mix. This actually has 15 grams of protein and

5 grams of fiber. I have mine in vanilla. This is so good. It's 100% grass-fed whey

just like Clean Simple Eats protein powder, and a serving is 198 calories. It is so good

Seriously, it makes the best protein waffles and pancakes. And again, it's from Clean Simple

Eats, the same place that I love their protein powder. I do have a discount code, so I will

link it down below for you. You're going to need milk of your choice. I'm going to use

Fair Life. You can use any berries. So I'm going to do blueberries and strawberries

and then you'll need an egg. To make our little mini pancake bites, super simple, I have one

cup of the Clean Simple Eats Protein Pancake Mix. I'm going to start with half of a cup

of milk. It does call for two thirds of a cup. I'm just going to add milk if needed

for the right consistency. And then we're going to add in one egg, and then we're going

to stir that together. We do want our batter on the lumpy side. I also am preheating my

oven to 350 degrees. I went ahead and sprayed my little mini muffin pan with nonstick cooking

spray. We're going to scoop in about a tablespoon of batter into each of our little mini muffin

cups. It doesn't matter how many mini pancakes you get. We're just going to divide out what

we end up with by the servings. And then I diced up my strawberries a lot smaller

I'm going to add a couple berries onto each of our little pancake bites. Our first batch

of little pancake bites are going into the oven for 12 to 14 minutes or until cooked

through. So the first batch is out of the oven. Don't these look so good? They smell

amazing. I'm actually going to have some of these for breakfast this morning. So I'll

show you how I put them together and then some of the different toppings and options

that you have. I'm going to allow these to cool for a couple minutes and then we will

add the rest of our batter. I'm hoping for 20 of the little pancake bites total. So I

ended up getting four more. So that is 16 of the little pancake bites total. I'm going

to go ahead and throw these last four into the oven. So here's my breakfast. So each

serving is three of them. So that's really good for the points and calories. And then

I paired it with half of a cup of cottage cheese with some strawberries on top, as well

as one tablespoon of chia smash. This is amazing. It's chia seeds, lemon, and fruit and dates

Really clean ingredient. Great jam substitute. It would also be really good on top of the

little pancake bites. You could also do some sugar-free maple syrup. I did just a sprinkle

of powdered sugar and this ends up being a really high protein breakfast. So I'll go

ahead and put here on the screen the points, calories, macros for the little pancake bites

So for my lunch this week, I'm making a Philly cheesesteak meal prep. So basically what I'm

going to do is make a zero carb lunch. Now you can pair this with low carb tortillas

You can make some potatoes. You can really do whatever you want. I'm probably going to put my Philly cheesesteak mixture into a low carb tortilla, but the base itself is actually

zero carbs, extremely high protein. So let me show you what you'll need. So you're going

to need portobello mushrooms, a bell pepper, one pound of the leanest steak you can find

I ended up getting a sirloin steak. You can also get a flank steak or flat iron. Those

are really lean cuts. I went with the Sargento ultra thin provolone cheese, an onion, salt

pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. So I have a skillet warming up over medium heat with

some nonstick cooking spray. I sliced up my steak. We're going to add that. Cook it for

about three to four minutes. Flip it for another three to four minutes. We're going

to add in our sliced up red bell pepper and onions and allow those to cook for about three

minutes. Then we're going to add in our sliced portobello mushrooms, two tablespoons of Worcestershire

sauce, and some salt and pepper. And then we're just going to let this cook until everything

is done. The steak and all the veggies are softened. So here is the fajita mixture. This

smells so good. So this entire pan makes four servings. So I'm going to divide it out into

four meal prep containers. And then I'm going to add one slice of the ultra thin provolone right on top. I think

I'm going to tear it in half so we get a little bit of cheese on all of it when we warm it

up. Here are the Philly cheesesteak meal preps. Like I said, you can pair these with any carb

source that you want. I'm going to use a low carb tortilla, just the 70 calorie ones, two

points. They are perfect. I should be able to fit all of the Philly cheesesteak mixture

in there. You could also use a hoagie roll, really, truly whatever you would like. If

you eat it all on its own, again, it is zero carbs, extremely high protein. So I'll put

all of the macros and points here on the screen for you. For dessert this week, I'm making

Funfetti shortbread cookies. I'm so excited for these. I love shortbread. I love Funfetti

So let me show you what you'll need. You're going to need vanilla extract. You can use

any flour of your choice. You could use oat flour, almond flour, regular flour, your preference

You'll need milk of your choice, sweetener. As always, I'm using Allulose. Love Allulose

I've transitioned over from monk fruit with erythritol because I hate the cooling effect

of it to Allulose. Allulose is derived from figs and raisins. So it's the most natural

sweetener alternative. I have the brand Sensato. I buy it right off of Amazon. I found the

most affordable price. I'll link it for you. This is the best Allulose that I've tried

You will not know the difference. No cooling effect. Tastes just like regular sugar. So

I'll link it on Amazon for you. You'll need unsweetened applesauce, baking powder. The

recipe calls for butter extract. I could not find it anywhere. So I'm going to sub cake

batter extract. That makes perfect sense. And Funfetti cookies, rainbow sprinkles, and

some salt. So to get started on our cookies, preheat your oven to 350 degrees. We're adding

one and a half cups of flour, one half of a cup of Allulose, one teaspoon of baking

powder, and a pinch of salt. And then mix all of your dry ingredients together. And

we're going to add one quarter cup milk, half of a cup unsweetened applesauce, two teaspoons

of vanilla extract, and then two teaspoons of butter extract if you can find it, or in

my case, cake batter. And then you're going to mix until fully combined. Going to add

in a quarter cup of sprinkles. And then just fold those in. Calls for 40 cookies. Now there

are only one point if you get 40 cookies. I'm going to make mine a little bit bigger

and I'm going to shoot for 20 cookies. We'll see what I end up with. I'm using a tablespoon

cookie scoop. I'm going to scoop that out onto my baking sheet. So we may get closer

to 40. I'm not exactly sure, but if we measure them out in one tablespoon scoops, it's perfect

So I have 15 cookies. I'm going to just pat them down a little bit before we add some

more sprinkles. And I always just spray my fingers with a little bit of nonstick cooking

spray and it works perfect to tap them down. And then we're just going to add some sprinkles

to the top and just press them in. We're going to bake our cookies for about 12 minutes or

until they're cooked completely through. And while the first batch is in the oven, I'm

going to roll out the rest of my dough. So I ended up getting 21 cookies total. So I'm

going to add a few more sprinkles and then we'll pop these into the oven when the first

batch comes out. The cookies are out of the oven. Well, the first batch, oh my gosh, these

look so delicious. So if you were to make 40, they would be pretty small, about half the size

of these. I'm going to allow these to cool, package them up for the week when the other

pan comes out of the oven and I'll be back to share points, calories, and macros. Here are

the cookies. So I just layered them in a dish here for storage for the week. You can store them on

your counter in the refrigerator. I did try one. These are so good. I love the cake batter extract

It gives it a little bit more of a cakey taste and the consistency is not hard like a shortbread

They give me more again of a cakey texture and taste, but they're really, really good. So I

will put points, calories, macros on the screen for 40 cookies and for 20 cookies. Thank you for

dessert. You can still have your favorite foods and lose weight, which is so incredibly exciting
