Expert Tips

Toppings: Depending on your diet and lifestyle preferences, you can choose from an array of favorite toppings! Some suggestions include peanut butter (or other nut butter), fresh blueberries, maple syrup (low-carb or regular), banana slices, dark chocolate chips, and more!

Mixins: Feel free to mash in a ripe banana, fresh fruit or berries, or chocolate chips to the batter if desired.

Storage Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.

To freeze, let the protein pancakes cool completely, then store them in a freezer bag or freezer-safe container. Pop in the toaster oven for 1-2 minutes or microwave for 30 seconds when ready to serve! No need to thaw in the fridge ahead of time.
