"   Team Seventeen Captains Jenna, Tara and Geraldine have been giving out such amazing workout tips that we&amp;#039;ve decided to add another team captain into the mix! Health food blogger Rebecca, 20, will be sharing her fave healthy recipes and fitness tips right here every Wednesday, so be sure to keep checking back in! Learn more about Rebecca by reading her first blog, below: Hi everyone, my name is Rebecca and I heart food! (In fact, it&amp;#039;s even the name of my healthy recipe blog. I&amp;#039;m currently a biology major going to college in Texas with plans to become a physical therapist. Sports and exercise have always been big parts of my life, but due to an injury, I was forced to stop playing sports and became limited to only running straight. As unfortunate as that was, it forced me to come to love running and be more conscious of eating healthier. I no longer had six practices a week to keep me in shape! This past summer marked the start of my newfound love for cooking. With plenty of time on my hands, a passion for healthy food, and a little creativity in the kitchen, I learned how much I enjoy creating delicious and simple recipes that keep me feeling great all day. (FYI: My recipes focus on health rather than limiting calories or restricting carbs.) My all-time favorite recipe that I&amp;#039;ve made is Blueberry Oatmeal Pancakes. They&amp;#039;re packed with protein and, in my opinion, taste much better than pancake mix from a box. For breakfast, I always try to have three of the following-grains, fruit (or vegetables), calcium, and/or protein-and this recipe has it all!    Grains: oats  Fruit: blueberries  Calcium: cottage cheese  Protein: oats, egg whites, and cottage cheese  These pancakes also have five grams of fiber, which will help to keep you full until lunch! Blueberry Oatmeal Pancakes   \u00BD cup Rolled Oats  \u00BD cup 1% Cottage Cheese  \u00BD cup Egg Whites  \u00BC tsp Baking Powder  \u00BC tsp Cinnamon  \u00BC tsp pumpkin pie spice(optional)  \u00BC cup frozen (or fresh) blueberries  1.For the pancakes: Simply mix all the ingredients, except blueberries, in a food processor (I&amp;#039;ve also used a VitaMix and a Magic Bullet works) and blend until nice and smooth. Remove the blades and delicately fold in the blueberries. 2. Pour about a cup of batter onto a heated pan and cook both sides until golden brown. (about one to two minutes on each side) Instead of store-bought fake maple syrup, I make a berry syrup that tastes great on almost anything (I make extra to put on my yogurt). Blueberry Sauce   \u00BE cup frozen (or fresh) blueberries  1 tbsp agave nectar  1 tbsp chia seeds   \u00BC cup water  1 tsp lemon juice  For the sauce: Boil all together until warm and thick. Serve over pancakes. What&amp;#039;s your fave healthy, yummy breakfast food? Speak up in the comment section! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
