Brown 2 cups of quinoa in same sautee pan, add 3 Tblsp of Soy Suace, add 2 cups water or low sodium chicken broth and bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes, add back the scramble mixture and more soy or teriyaki sauce to taste.

Protein Pancakes
1/4 cup of egg white
1 scoop of vanilla protein powder
1/2 banana
1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed
1/4 cup of your fave fruit--I use pineapple
cook on a heated griddle on a very low flame. Certainly not IHOP but ....I like them.0 -
Thanks! Do you put anything on them like honey etc?0

agave but usually nothing---the fruit makes them sweet enough. Some people also do them in a waffle iron. Good luck!0
