Choc Protein Keto Pancakes

A Rich and Nourishing Pancake for when you’re needing variety in breakfasts, served cold as snacks on the go or for a delish dessert.

I’ll blog shortly on the reason why you’re seeing Keto/Low carb meals on my social media feed but mostly I want to show you that reducing Carbs is not about boring foods and the same meal every day as I sometimes see in clinic with keto clients.

This is a super rich nourishing meal that is family friendly based on which Protein powder you have used or simply omit the protein powder, the recipe is still fine without it.

Hope you enjoy it as much as we are :-)
