## Pancakes with protein!

Ginger inhibits COX the same enzyme affected by NSAIDS (like ibuprofen) to prevent synthesis of pro-inflammatory compounds. You need to consume at least 1 inch of fresh ginger root for an anti-inflammatory effect. Favourite tricks are to steep fresh ginger tea, add ginger to a smoothie and fresh slices in a stir-fry.

#### Ingredients

- 1/2 cup cottage cheese (2%)

- 1/2 cup oatmeal (quick cooking)

- 2 whole organic eggs

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

- 1/8 teaspoon of cinnamon

- 1-2 teaspoons coconut oil

#### Directions

- Add all of the above ingredients to a blender and blend on high for 1-2 minutes or until smooth.
- Heat olive oil cooking spray on medium heat onto a non stick frying pan.
- Pour half of the pancake batter onto the heated frying pan.
- Allow to cook on medium heat.
- When you start to see bubbles forming at the top of the pancake, flip pancake over.
- Allow to cook on the other side.
