Sweet & Savory Fritters!

Many of you have been asking about healthy food that's easy to pack and eat on the go, With school starting and work always crazy, one of the GREAT EXCITEMENTS in my life, (sad, I know)  Is finding a delicious, filling, healthy recipe that I can pack, take with me, and eat anywhere. Oh ya, and it's nice to have one that doesn't smell like egg when you open up the Ziploc baggie, (I already eat every 2 hours, I don't need more weird stares because I just made the room smell like meat!) 

Well... currently I am OBSESSED with different types of fritters, (or pancakes if you're not quite as fancy)   Here are 2 of my favorite ones!  there delicious right off the grill, or cold out of a Ziploc bag in class! :)



Sweet banana Cinnamon fritter 
(smells amazing!)



Ingredients
1 very ripe banana, (I freeze mine and then pop them in the microwave for 30 sec. peel, mash, and I'm ready to go)
4 egg whites
2 TBSP ground flax seed
1 TBSP STEVIA
1TBSP VANILLA
1tsp Cinnamon

Directions
Place everything in a bowl and mix and mash tell batter consistency
Place on heated skillet greased with PAM and cook like pancakes
Should make aprox  4 fritters

NUTRITION INFO: under 250 cals with 14g of protein for the entire recipie so eat it all!



Savory Zucchini Fritter



Ingredients
4 egg whites, 
zucchini, (1 small one) about 1 cup grated
2 TBS Ground Flax seed
green (or any other kind) onions, (amount to taste)
spices. (I love garlic so I use that a lot)

Directions
Mix everything together
Make sure the amount of onions & zucchini you have are enough to fill the egg whites so the mixture isn’t runny!
I use a hot plate/hot skillet ALREADY HEATED because the texture turns out better, but however you normally do pancakes or eggs, griddle, etc, will work.
Pour and spread out somewhat thin and even:
I let it cook for a good bit on each side so they brown, flip, and out come your finished product! It’ll yield about 3-4 large or 6-8 small hot cakes 
Top with fat free sour cream if ya like

Nutrition info:   100 cals with 14g protein for the entire recipe
