Protein Pancakes - A Healthy Breakfast to Make If You’re Going to the Gym in the AM

Make sure your breakfast works just as hard as you do.

These Pancakes Have More Protein Than Your Post-Workout Shake

Makin' gains, bruh. Athlete tested and approved.

Confession: I love pancakes. But, as an athlete, pancakes aren’t something I usually want to eat before a workout. Sure, they are fluffy and delicious, but just the thought of trying to run or lift after a batch of those golden cakes makes me queasy.

Enter these life-saving protein pancakes. They boast a whopping 27 grams of protein per serving (thanks, cottage cheese and egg whites) with slow digesting carbs (oatmeal and banana) to keep you fueled throughout your workout (or Sunday Netflix binge). Did I mention you can whip them up in a blender?
