8 oz. Coconut Water

1 Cup Raspberries

1 Banana

1 tbsp. Flax Seed Meal

1 tbsp. Almond Butter

½ cup Baby Spinach

1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 tsp baking powder
1 Splenda or stevia packet (or your favorite sweetener)
1/3 cup almond milk

10 cherries, sliced in half and pitted

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Mix protein powder, flour, baking powder and sweetener in a bowl until evenly mixed. 

Add milk, eggs, lemon juice and vanilla extract. Whisk until well blended. Set aside.

Coat 8 inch or 9 inch baking pan with cooking spray. Add coconut oil and cherries.

Put in preheated oven for approximately 2 minutes until oil is melted and slightly browned.

Carefully remove pan from oven using mitt, and pour the batter over the top of the cherries.

Put back in the oven and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the entire pancake is puffy, golden brown, and crisp around the edges. Enjoy!
