We’ve got a recipe for rich, chocolatey, banana protein pancakes that will certainly appease your sweet tooth while also giving you the nutrition you need to kickstart your brain and start your day off right. (Remember, breakfast is the most important meal of the day.)

Protein powder pancakes: Banana chocolate chip

Ingredients:

• 1 mashed banana
• 2 eggs
• ¼ cup flour
• 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ¼ cup chocolate chips
• 1 scoop Nutrilite™ Organics Plant Protein Powder - Chocolate
• Pinch of salt
• 1 packet n* by Nutrilite™ #NoFilter Collagen Peptides (optional)

Preparation:

1. Mix all ingredients in a medium bowl.
2. Bring a greased, flat-bottomed pan or griddle to medium heat.
3. When heated, drop batter onto the pan in your desired pancake size. When the pancakes begin forming bubbles on top, flip.
4. Cook the other side until it’s golden brown then serve them up!
5. Top with sliced bananas, mixed berries, cacao nibs or nuts.

PRO TIP: This recipe is super easy, but if you think making protein powder pancakes from scratch stretches your culinary skills, you can always add protein powder or other mix-ins to your favorite boxed pancake mix to pump up the nutrient levels.
