Healthy avocado and spinach make up this Nutristrength vegan protein pancake recipe. While traditional protein is often made from cow's milk and/or eggs, vegan protein is made from pea or soy. As well as being ideal for those following a vegan diet, many non-vegans or vegetarians opt for pea-based proteins to help with digestion.

Top tips for making vegan protein pancakes:

While we've sourced our powder from Nutristrength where avocado is the main ingredient, unsurprising given the colourful green tone, protein powder comes in many other flavours. So, don't be afraid to mix it up! If you're looking for pancakes with a sweeter finish, go for a chocolate or blueberry flavour. For a more breakfasty-feel, opt for banana.
