Strawberry Protein Pancakes
I’m training for a 4-mile run and so I’ve been running, lifting weights, and practicing lots of yoga lately. With all the extra morning workouts I’ve needed a quick breakfast that would also refuel my body. And most importantly it needed to be tasty.
Enter Strawberry Protein Pancakes. They hit all the marks for a good post-workout breakfast. High protein? Check. Fiber? Check? Fruit? Check. Healthy Fat? Check. Quick, Tasty, and Easy? Check, Check and Check!

Tip- These pancakes turn out best when you cook them low and slow. Make sure your pan isn’t too hot and you will get the perfect pancake.
Notes.
*I only use NorCal Organic Unflavored Pea Protein. The yellow peas are grown in Canada and packaged and 3rd party tested in the USA. NorCal is committed to organic and sustainable farming as well as animal welfare. Also, this pea protein is a single ingredient protein powder. Most protein powders on the market have added sugars and other things I can’t even pronounce and that I certainly don’t want in my or my family’s bodies. You can purchase this protein powder here.
