This is a quick and easy recipe for some wholesome energy packed vegan pancakes! I used Slender You’s vegan protein powder in it. The video shows the full recipe, or alternatively the recipe is at the end of the post

A few quick notes:

• You can adjust the quantities of the ingredients as you go along (That’s what I did :p). Adding more oats or almond milk should you want it thicker or more liquid for example.
• If you like the pancake batter to be finer and less ‘wholewheat’ opt to blend all the ingredients instead of just mixing them.
• Yes the pancakes in my photos are slightly burnt or lets rather use the word crispy :p but the chocolate flavour protein powder also contributed to the dark colour, just saying. You can use a noon stick pan or even a pancake griddle pan.

French toast is quite a filling, and great breakfast to have.  You get good quality muscle building protein, vitamins and minerals from the eggs, as well as some carbohydrates for energy from the bread.  BUT it becomes unhealthy and far too calorie dense when it is deep fried in all that oil and then topped with golden syrup.

So for this recipe we will hardy use any oil to fry the French toast in and we will replace the golden syrup with some organic natural honey.  This makes a great breakfast to start the day or even a great pre workout meal.

The equipment needed here is a toaster and an electric frying pan.

We all like chocolate, well most of us anyway.  It’s just unfortunate that it tastes soooo good but is not all that great in helping us with losing fat.  But then again once in a while a few small pieces are all right.  Now wouldn’t it be great if we had a chocolate bar which was comprised of good muscle building nutrients? Then you could have a piece every so often and not even feel guilty; you could even feel like its part of your diet!

Well these days so many supplement companies have come out with protein bars and ‘health’ bars.  There are so many different protein bars on the market though, and so many companies are bringing out new and different bars.  Don’t be fooled though, they are not all good though.

“Many contain a high amount of bad fat (especially Trans fats), and have a lot of artificial substances and preservatives within them.  So to really classify them as ‘health’ bars is quite inaccurate.”

And what I could never understand, when looking at the nutritional breakdown of what is called, and is supposed to be a PROTEIN BAR, I see that it contains a bucket load of carbohydrates.  Ok, ok so I may be exaggerating a bit there, but when dieting and controlling your carbohydrate intake you have to monitor these things, and it’s supposed to be a PROTEIN BAR anyway.

So, I thought, why not make it myself.  I tried a few times with varying ingredients and always came out with something decent but nothing very tasty.  But after many efforts I think I’ve finally succeeded somewhat.  I love dark chocolate so for all those dark chocoholics out there, I hope you enjoy it.

You can alter the amount of oats and protein powder you use depending on your nutritional requirements, just remember though that if you reduce it you will need to use less milk so the mixture does not become too watery.

Here is a recipe for a mouth-watering, nutritious, high protein smoothie which can be used ideally after an intense workout out, or even as a snack in between meals.

Just a small tip, if you want to make a sweet smoothie and have it thick and milky like a milkshake, opt for low fat plain cottage cheese instead of ice cream. High in protein and low in sugar!

The best smoothies are nutrient-dense, providing vitamins and oils necessary for good nutrition. Fat is required for biological functions and burned by your body for energy; a good smoothie should have some dietary fat. Simply blending a banana with ice and skim milk does not make a good smoothie; there is almost no fat for the body to use in assimilating the vitamins, and there is little nutritive content at all. A healthy smoothie contains egg yolks, coconut oil, cream or other nutrient-dense foods. Smoothies are a great, simple way to get in the extra nutrition you need. [1]
