Banana, Blueberry and Almond Protein Pancakes Recipe

It’s one of our favourite days of the year – Pancake Day.

This year, we’ve been introduced to a healthier way to celebrate this sweet occasion with a nutritious post-workout recovery meal: Mancakes – the hearty new version of the childhood favourite that are packed full of healthy, natural sources of protein.

We may not be men, but sometimes taking cues from our male counterparts’ diets is not such a bad idea. A good dose of protein in the morning keeps you satiated for longer and helps you recover from that morning workout we know you dragged yourself out of bed to do and, at just 1200kj, this indulgent-tasting breakfast is actually a completely guilt-free meal.
