\"Chocolate<\/p>\n

A year ago I didn’t know what protein pancakes were. Now I can\u2019t imagine my life without them.<\/p>\n

I love them because not only are they full of protein, they\u2019re filling, lower calorie, versatile, and of course\u2026DELICIOUS.When FitFluential<\/a> sent me this NytroWhey chocolate protein powder<\/a> (from Prosource<\/a>) to review, the first thought that came to mind was \u201cchocolate protein pancakes\u201d. I had never made them before, so I couldn’t wait to try it. I\u2019ll get to my thoughts on NytroWhey in a minute, but first I want to share this recipe with you! Serves 1-2.<\/p>\n

\"Chocolate<\/p>\n

Chocolate Banana Protein Pancakes<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. 1 organic egg<\/li>\n
  2. \u00bd banana, mashed<\/li>\n
  3. 2 scoops of NytroWhey chocolate protein powder*<\/li>\n
  4. 1 tsp. organic flaxseed, ground<\/li>\n
  5. Pinch sea salt<\/li>\n
  6. Almond milk to thin batter (about 2 tbsp.)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    *Or other chocolate protein powder<\/p>\n

    Mix everything up well in a bowl or blender. Pour batter into a heated non-stick pan. Flip when each side is cooked.<\/p>\n

    Top with desired toppings and enjoy!<\/p>\n

    \"Chocolate<\/p>\n

    I put plain Greek yogurt (mixed with Truvia), chopped banana, and a drizzle of maple syrup over my pancakes and it was delicious! I love adding the yogurt on top because it\u2019s just that much more protein!<\/p>\n

    Now\u2026onto what I think of this stuff<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    \"Protein<\/p>\n

    Of all the protein powders I’ve tried, it\u2019s really rare that I find a protein that I enjoy as is \u2013 mixed with just water or milk. OFten they\u2019re chalky or just taste disgusting. The last thing I want to do is chug down a protein drink with my nose plugged. I like to enjoy what I eat\/drink. Eating healthy should not be painful. Those kinds of yucky protein powders I tend to blend in a meal replacement shake with sweet fruits…then they taste good!<\/p>\n

    That being the case, I was really curious to see what this protein powder<\/a> tasted like. So today I grabbed my bottle of protein powder mixed with milk and took it with me to beach volleyball.<\/p>\n

    \"Protein<\/p>\n

    I was in love. Seriously, it\u2019s just like chocolate milk. It\u2019s not thick, pasty, or chalky. It was DEE-LICOUS.<\/p>\n

    21 grams of protein gone just like that!<\/p>\n

    Also, I felt like it really fueled my body and was great for recovering after my tough, long, energy-draining day.<\/p>\n

    Another thing I appreciated about it was how low it was in sugar it was\u2026just 3.5 grams per serving. Lots of protein powders are really high in sugar and I don\u2019t love that at all. Nope.<\/p>\n

    The only thing I wasn’t sure about was the extra-long ingredient list. There were quite a few ingredients I didn’t recognize and wasn’t sure I could pronounce.<\/p>\n

    \"Protein<\/p>\n

    However, I\u2019m not going to lie, I will enjoy every scoop of this protein until it\u2019s gone, because it’s kind of delicious and fills my protein needs!<\/p>\n
