Do you ever get into a protein kick? You want to increase your protein intake so you go to GNC, Bodybuilding.com or Costco and stock up. A few months later, as you are trying to find a can of garbanzo beans in the cabinet, you stumble onto to the long-forgotten jug (or jugs) of protein powder. You don’t want to throw them out because, well, that’s silly. You try smoothies, shakes and all the usual suspects, but it’s just not cutting it.

That’s the exact predicament I found myself in.

Enter: Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Protein Pancakes.

I usually have homemade pancake mix on hand, so this time around I incorporated vanilla whey protein and chocolate casein protein powder into the mix.

The results speak for themselves.
