taeste and tell: vanilla cinnamon protein pancakes recipe
Good Morning!
Welcome to the FOOD section of my blog, also known as Taeste and Tell!
This is where you can find recipes, tips, and tricks to help you lead a healthier lifestyle! Sometimes I'll be discussing certain healthy foods/items I use to stay in shape and other times (like today) I'll be posting recipes that I thoroughly enjoy!
So today, I wanted to share with you guys one of my favorite PROTEIN PACKED breakfast recipes: Vanilla Cinnamon Protein Pancakes! Here's a picture of them (yes I just ate them for breakfast today alongside some turkey sausage links and some green grapes!)
These bad boys are DELICIOUS and even more importantly, they are HEALTHY! So if you're struggling on finding healthy breakfast recipes, look no further!! Here's the first of many of my healthy recipe posts!
(I've included links to the actual products that I use...but any brand will work for this recipe!)

The main things I love about this recipe are the low amount of fat, the high amount of protein, the mild amount of carbs, and the relatively low amount of sugar! I personally eat according to fulfilling my macronutrients (a separate post on that to come), so depending on my numbers for the day, this can be a great way to get some protein and carbs!!
I hope you enjoy! Let me know if this is something you would make! :)
