When it comes to quality and quantity, who says you can’t have your [pan]cake and eat it too?! This healthy take on an all-time classic is a delicious breakfast built for fueling, filling, and supercharging your day. A big, bold, and satisfying breakfast (or brunch) jump-starts your metabolism; it also fills your tank with the energy you need to stay focused for whatever your day has in store (Work? School? Gym? Dog park? Dance party? Netflix binge? All of the above?)
Incorporating protein into your breakfast benefits muscle health and supports healthy weight management by increasing energy expenditure (calories burned), producing satiety hormones (goodbye, empty stomach growls!), and regulating your glucose levels. This two-serving recipe for fluffy, tasty cakes packs 42 grams of nutritious protein. Choose your own adventure, but we l-o-v-e the organic, plant-based protein powder from Orgain because of the outstandingly smooth taste and the ultra-nutritious ingredients.
So rise and shine, you are only 15 minutes away from your new favorite breakfast… Ready, set, good morning!
