FOOD: Protein Pancake Favourites

Eating healthy really doesn’t have to be boring. Chicken, broccoli and rice and protein shakes on repeat - no thank you! I need variety in my diet, so I’m always looking for new recipes to try. My favourite recently has been protein pancakes - it took me some time to get these right, but now that I have I want to share them with you!

CHOCOLATE PROTEIN PANCAKES



Ingredients

125ml almond milk
2 scoops Arbonne chocolate vegan protein powder
1 tbsp coconut flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
2 medium eggs

Method

1. Blitz all ingredients together in a blender.
2. Leave to sit for ten minutes.
3. Whisk with a fork.
4. Oil a small non-stick frying pan. I either melt coconut oil or use olive oil spray which has less calories.
5. Pour in one third of the mixture.
6. When the pancake has bubbled quite a lot on one side flip it over. Be sure to go around the edges and check it isn’t sticking.
7. Put on to a plate under the oven to keep it warm while making the others.
8. Repeat two more times.
9. Top with dairy-free coconut yoghurt, fresh or frozen berries and a sprinkle of cinnamon. You can use whatever toppings you wish.

VANILLA PROTEIN PANCAKES



Ingredients

125ml almond milk
2 scoops Arbonne vanilla vegan protein powder
1 tbsp coconut flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
2 medium eggs
Splash of vanilla extract

Method

Same as above.

And why not mix it up?

Have fun with these. Experiment with different toppings, maybe add some orange or peppermint extract to the chocolate ones (highly recommend doing this), maybe put some fruit/chocolate chips in the pancakes as they are cooking, or make a healthy chocolate sauce like I’ve done below. Just heat 1 tbsp chocolate protein powder, 1 tbsp of cacao powder and 2 tbsps of coconut oil, et voilĂ ! 

This breakfast honestly feels like such a naughty treat and it isn’t - perfect for any of you with a sweet tooth just like me. Enjoy!
