Each summer, it’s not unusual to see the commencement of “quick fix diets” and the standard seasonal rush to get into shape.

However, if you’re reading this, then it is most probably because you’re looking for a flipping good pre-workout recipe to accompany your fitness regime.

This recipe can be used to satisfy those cravings for a sweet treat without throwing you off track, or if you feel that your workout has crêped up fast. These take just a few minutes and could get you pumped and ready to hit the gym in no time.

Let’s keep up the clean eating and find a boost in the fluffy layers of deliciously good pancakes. So, without any further waffling on, here is the ultimate protein pancake recipe.

Ingredients

• 1 banana

• 2 eggs

• 1 tbsp. wholemeal or coconut flour

• 40g protein powder (optional boost)

• Coconut oil

Instructions

1. Blend all of the ingredients together, except the coconut oil, to create a smooth mixture.
2. Next, pour a teaspoon of coconut oil into a pan and warm a little on a moderate heat.
3. Add the mix and cook as you would normal pancakes (we used about two tablespoons of batter per pancake); this mix provides you with enough to make five pancakes, so just increase ingredients to serve more than two people.
4. Flip the pancakes to cook both sides and remove from the heat when both sides are golden and the pancakes are cooked right through.

Pile it up!
