Variations to Keep It Interesting

Staying consistent doesn't mean eating the exact same thing every day. Try these tweaks:

Add berries – A few strawberries or blueberries on top won't hurt your carb count and adds antioxidants.
Try flavored yogurt – Stick to high-protein, low-sugar options like Oikos Triple Zero or Two Good.
Switch the protein powder – Use what you love. Whey isolate blends best, but plant-based options work too (you may need a splash of almond milk to thin the batter).
Make it dairy-free – Sub the yogurt for a coconut-based version and use a plant protein.

Pro Tips from Our Coaches

Meal prep tip: Cook a double batch of pancakes and refrigerate. Reheat in a toaster or pan and top with fresh yogurt.
Texture tip: Let the blended batter sit for 2 minutes before pouring—this gives fluffier pancakes.
Flavor tip: Add almond extract or cinnamon directly into the batter for extra flavor without calories.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a banana substitute?

Yes. You can swap the banana with 50g of unsweetened applesauce or pumpkin puree. Just note the texture and sweetness will slightly change.

How do I reheat meal-prepped pancakes?

Use a toaster or pan for best results. Avoid the microwave—it makes them rubbery.

Can I freeze them?

Totally. Layer between parchment paper in a freezer bag. Just defrost overnight and toast in the morning.
