VANILLA PROTEIN PANCAKES

Yes, you can have pancakes for breakfast! Many of you have asked for more breakfast options and variety. This one is sure to please. If you’ve ever had the vanilla protein powder we use at Genesis Health Solutions, you know it tastes very similar to vanilla cake batter. When you mix cake batter with pancakes… good things happen! You can also top them with some Lily’s chocolate chips (found at Fresh Market and Health Nut Nutrition) or berries of your choosing.
