1/2 c raw cauliflower
1 c. zucchini
1/2 tsp. garlic paste
2 egg
2 tbsp. regular sour cream
3 tbsp. olive oil
4 tbsp. vanilla or plain protein powder
Makes 4 servings
Directions:

- Chop cauliflower florets by hand or in food processor, then measure (raw).
- Steam cauliflower a bit to soften, either on the stove or in the microwave. Briefly mash with a potato masher
- After measured, place shredded zucchini on a plate and sprinkle a small amount of salt on top. Allow to sit for a few minutes, then blot it with a paper towel (this removes excess water from the zucchini so that the latke batter is not too watery).
- Mix vegetables, eggs, garlic paste, olive oil and protein powder in a bowl.
- Heat a pan with olive oil.
- Pour latke batter into pan, making four “pancakes”. Cook until brown on edges, then flip and brown on the other side. If it falls apart, reshape it as it cooks.
- Remove from heat and place on a plate to cool.
- To make the sour cream topping, mix the sour cream and mayonnaise together. Spoon the mixture onto the latkes.
