Hey everybody, happy Sunday! I was so excited about making something delicious for breakfast today after my quick and easy pre-work breakfasts this past week. Since I work normal hours all week now, I don’t get as many chances to play in the kitchen in the morning as I did in Miami 🙁 But I think the tradeoffs of not working nights/weekends/holidays make it worth having fewer pancakes in my life.
The star ingredient in these pancakes is…PROTEIN! Duh. Why wouldn’t it be? This protein is the crazy creation of Cellucor, my heroes (not really heroes, but maybe just a little bit). So the particular one I used in this was their Red Velvet flavor which I have yet to try in a protein shake. But it does make a mean pancake! And this recipe has a whopping 51 grams of protein – plenty to keep you full and feed your muscles.
