The muscle builder:

You'll need:

2 scoops of active whey + collagen protein (chocolate works best)
1 tbsp Nut butter (your preference)
50ml Coconut milk (add more or less to get the required consistency)
2 Eggs

1 tsp Coconut oil for frying

Crème fraiche or Greek yogurt

Method:

Ideal for breakfast or a post-workout pick me up, these pancakes are a cheat meal in disguise.

To make them combine your whey, nut butter, milk and eggs in a bowl and mix well.

Heat a lightly oiled frying pan and pour the mixture into it in separate batches. Ideally each pancake should be 10cm across, but you decide how thick or thin you want them.

Cook for about 2min.

When the bottom of the pancake has turned brown, loosen with a spatula, flip it over (the fun part) and cook the other side.

Serve hot with a scoop of nut butter & crème fraiche or Greek yogurt.
