Scitec Nutrition : Protein Pancake Protein Desserts and Cooking Mixes

While many people may be happy with a straighforward protein shake when it comes to feeding your muscles after a workout sometimes you crave more than a shake and when it comes to breakfast foods a change from an egg based meal would be ideal in our view. Trust us, we always look longingly at the option of pancakes on a restaurant menu but without a doubt they don't make the best option for athletes. This is where Scitec's latest innovation, High Protein Pancakes comes into play.

Nutritional Quality

Unlike a regular high sugar, high fat and minimal protein content, Scitec's pancakes feature just 4g of sugar, 5.4g of fat and most importantly, 10-13g of protein per pancake from a blend of whey, milk and egg protein. Scitec have used oat flour, and real milk powder to ensure that their pancakes resemble the real thing.

Taste and Texture Review?

Let's face it, unless you are a pancake nut you won't be eating these unless they taste good no matter how good the nutritional profile. Available in coconut white chocolate and chocolate banana flavours, Scitec have made the making of these simple. Simply pour a serving into a shaker and mix it with water. We found it mixed easily without lumps. Add it to a heated frying pan and we added a small knob of coconut oil. After a couple of minutes you end up with the same texture, colour and fluffiness you expect from a normal pancake. 

We tested these in our office and the feedback was that they tasted like actual pancakes both in the taste as well as the all-important mouth feel you associate with pancakes. Having tried both flavours we were split 60-40 in favour of the white chocolate and coconut version but no matter which flavour you go with we are confident you will enjoy them.

For the finishing touch add a few drops of Walden Farms Pancake Syrup and you have something which comes as close to sports nutrition perfection as you will ever find.
