Perfect Protein Pancakes Recipe

Who can’t wait to eat breakfast?

I absolutely love the first meal of the day — I usually wake up hungry and ready to kick things off with a really tasty meal. 

I usually eat a savoury breakfast — I love dishes like avocado and poached eggs on toast — but I know how many people in the Sweat Community enjoy pancakes, so I thought I would share a recipe for all you ladies who like something sweeter!

While I don’t use protein powder, I know many women do, so this is included in the ingredients. If you want to substitute protein powder for something else you can try this recipe with cacao powder which will give you a chocolate flavour instead.

Get ready for a delicious, healthy breakfast!

Your breakfast can include the foods you love!

For me, a healthy approach to food should include meals that make you feel good — and they shouldn’t feel like a chore to make or eat.

You should be able to eat the foods you enjoy — and eat in a way that is balanced and realistic.
