They say necessity is the mother of invention. This couldn’t be more true when it comes to recipes. You see, half way through the week I inevitably end up staring in my fridge or at my list of foods bought and made that week, with the sudden need to use up one or more things in the fridge.

And I so wanted pancakes…

I have been wanting pancakes for a long time. I am especially proud of myself for not just reaching for the mix of white flour and artificial ingredients that is a boxed pancake mix.

In keeping with my protein powder roll I thought this would be a perfect opportunity to kill two birds with one stone: have my pancakes and test my protein powder too. (I am testing Genuine Health Vegan Protein+ in double chocolate)

Now I should have guessed that I was doomed from the start but the thought didn’t cross my mind, or I didn’t listen to the nagging: “Protein powder is not flour”, “You don’t like the taste of this in a similarly flavoured shake.” But I had to give it a chance. I wanted pancakes.

Today begins my protein powder quest. I will be testing various protein powders and various recipes for their use.

Today I am testing Genuine Health Vegan Protein+ in chocolate.
