Pancakes for Athletes

Vegetarian.

This is hands-down one of my favorite breakfast recipes. You can easily prepare it the night before and just leave the batter in the fridge overnight, which can save you a good 5 to 10 minutes in preparation. The batter will probably keep at least a week.

1 cup cooked rice
2 eggs
1 banana
1/2 cup "milk" (I always use rice or soy milk)
1 TBSP flour
Anything you'd like to add flavor. I'd suggest berries, nuts, and/or honey. I also add chia seeds and flax seeds because they're supposed to be good for runners or something.

Dump it all in a blender, then cook it. You know, the same way you'd cook any other pancake.

I generally cook a couple of sunny-side-up eggs (pasture raised free-range CSA eggs, of course) and a fruit smoothie to go with this. This is a great, healthy, not too heavy breakfast that will keep you full for hours.
