Strawberry Protein Pancakes

Recently I had a discussion about my blog and why it was called "A Fine Balance". I tried to articulate how it was a journey - a personal journey on finding the balance in my own life, but that it was peppered with three of the things I adore Fashion, Fitness and Food. With a quick look at past posts however, it was suggested that the blog had become more fashion oriented and had let go of the two other aspects that are equally as important. 

A suggestion was made to change the name of the blog but I am on the fence. While I am open to the idea of moving the blog forward in a new direction, I also love where "A Fine Balance" has brought me. In an effort to bring the blog back to an equilibrium I am going to try and ensure that there is a balance between all three aspects. And no time like the present to get back at it. 

Today's post features one of my favourite morning eats: Strawberry Protein Pancakes

 You will need:

1/3 Cup Oats

1 scoop Protein Powder (I used Beverly Cookies and Cream)

2 packets Stevia

1/3 cup Egg Whites

1 tbsp Ground flax

6 Strawberries

Cinnamon or Pumpkin Spice to taste

Blender (my daily Hamilton Beach Blender is available for $20.00 at Wal-Mart)

Note: Caloric content minus the ground flax and this may be off by a bit.

Protein	Carbs	Fat	Calories
41.83	27.5	2.1	296.22

Don't mind the mess on the counter!

So what if they're not circular? they taste just as yummy

What are your thoughts on a re-branding of the blog? Do you think A Fine Balance represents itself well? Looking forward to your thoughts!

Grey Matter

Gloomy, cold and dark mornings can be downright uninspiring.  Today was one of those mornings.  It was a day for the easy, "go-to" (by go-to I mean stolen borrowed) clothing from unsuspecting family members. I secretly, but not so secretly borrowed this dress from Auntie R. I just fell in love! Such great detail and it fit like a glove (i.e. it should be mine! hint hint ;p).

I paired it with a pearl necklace and bracelet and black pumps. The outfit, matched my sombre mood…after all, its only a little grey matter.

What I am Wearing:
Dress: Max and Cleo
Pearls: Bijouterie Elysée (Montreal)
Pumps: Nine West

Year in Review

Lovelies,

It's been a year since I started this blog with my first post entitled Golden. It's amazing to see the evolution and metamorphosis of this blog since that time. a Big thank you goes to all of you, my readers, who have supported me through the changes, cheered me on to accomplish my goals and been there for the best and worst outfits : ) Below are some of the outfits, and memories that you have all been there for.

Thank you again and I hope this year will bring even more amazing things to share.
