For the pancakes, prepare The Protein Bread Co – Pancake Mix as instructed. These delicious gluten free pancakes are high in fibre, high in protein, and are low carb. I didn’t have cottage cheese, but substituted for 2 tbsp of almond milk which also worked perfectly! The mixes make a lot of pancakes so don’t be afraid to keep the unused dry mix in your fridge for future use. Once made, the protein pancakes can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days, making for a quick, nutritious breakfast.

GYM JUNKIE
This is a great choice for after a morning workout! The addition of extra protein from the cottage cheese and protein powder, combined with natural carbohydrates from the banana and berries, create the perfect combination to replenish depleted energy stores. This will ensure quick recovery and reduce fatigue, so you’re ready to do it all over again tomorrow!

– Slice 1/2 – 1 banana, and sprinkle generously with cinnamon.
– Stack pancakes, layering with cottage cheese protein-mix and banana.
– Top with 1 tbsp of pure organic maple syrup. Yum!
