Blueberry Protein Pancakes with Fresh Blueberry Syrup Recipe

Happy Monday All!!  I am so glad to be back home, but, I am SO TIRED and well, it’s Bachelorette finale night    So, I decided that one of my FAVORITE breakfast recipes from the archives was in order ~ it’s “fun” and “fruity”!

I LOVE using fresh summer fruits in my breakfast and blueberries this time of year are AMAZING.  This is quite possibly the easiest blueberry pancake recipe with Fresh Blueberry Syrup recipe you will ever make ~ especially since you whip all the ingredients up in your Magic Bullet. 

Oh and it doesn’t hurt that this entire plate is ONLY 6 POINTS!

While I mixed up and cooked my pancakes, I cooked the Fresh Blueberry Syrup.
