Recipe for a Power Packed Protein Pancake

Many people struggle with the decision what to eat to start the day off right. You should already know that if you’re on a fat loss diet, skipping breakfast is not the best idea and will not, despite what some people may believe, increase your ability to burn fat.

Those who skip breakfast are far more likely to overeat later in the day, taking in more calories than what their fat loss diet specifies. This then essentially stops them from successfully being able to lose weight.

If you’re someone who isn’t a big fan of regular oatmeal, having a protein shake (you want something solid in your body – which is very understandable), or you want something that’s easy to prepare and take on the go, consider a power packed protein pancake.

The following recipe is full of healthy, slow-releasing carbohydrates, protein to supply your body with the amino acids it needs to maintain the muscles, and a small amount of healthy fat to help delay stomach emptying, helping prevent hunger from coming on before it’s time for your mid-morning snack.
