Why Should You Meal Prep Protein Pancakes?
Meal prepping is one of the best ways to stay on top of your fitness goals while saving time during the week. When you prep your protein pancakes in advance, you’ll always have a healthy, delicious meal ready to go. Here are some of the benefits:
- 20g of Protein per Serving: This helps with muscle recovery and keeps you feeling fuller for longer, so you can power through your day without reaching for unhealthy snacks.
- Low Sugar: Perfect for avoiding the sugar crash and keeping your energy levels stable.
- Quick & Simple: With just 2 scoops of the pancake mix and 100ml of water, you’ll have your batter ready in seconds—cooking takes only 2-3 minutes per side.
How to Make Protein Pancakes in Advance
Making Protein Pancakes in advance couldn’t be easier. Here’s how to prepare your protein pancakes ready for the big day!
- Add 2 scoops of Per4m Pancake Mix to 100ml of water in a shaker or a bowl.
- Shake or stir until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
- Pour the pancake batter into the pan, forming small to medium-sized pancakes.
- Cook each pancake for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
Once cooked, let the pancakes cool on a wire rack (this will help prevent them from becoming soggy) before storing them.
Storing Your Prepped Protein Pancakes
Now that your pancakes are cooked and cooled, it’s time to store them for later:
- In the Fridge: Stack your pancakes in an airtight container and store them in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- In the Freezer: If you’d like to keep them for a longer period, freezing is your best option. Lay parchment paper between each pancake to prevent them from sticking together. Store them in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 3 months. Simply pop them in the microwave or toaster when you’re ready to eat.
Reheating Your Protein Pancakes
When you’re ready to enjoy your prepped protein pancakes, simply reheat them in the microwave or on the stove. You can also reheat them in a toaster for a crispier texture. It’s quick and easy, ensuring you get the same delicious taste and texture as fresh pancakes.
Embrace the spirit of Pancake Day with a healthier twist, and make your protein pancakes ahead of time with Per4m. You’ll be fuelling your body with 20g of protein per serving and staying on track with your fitness goals, all while enjoying your favourite flavours.
Here’s to a delicious, nutritious Pancake Day!
