Cottage Cheese + Banana Protein Pancakes
Pancakes are such a good option when it comes to diversifying breakfast and the kids love them. Some pancakes are full of refined sugars and spike blood sugars. I personally feel this in myself but I also see it in my children. We all absolutely need to balance blood sugars to feel satisfied, focussed and sustained. Try these babies and see how you feel. The cottage cheese adds a nice protein hit. They can contain up to 20g protein per serve!
