Cumbernauld based fitness blogger, crowned by PETA as the country’s ‘Hottest Vegan of 2016’ Stefanie Moir, has revealed her favourite recipe to create healthy vegan-protein pancakes just in time for Shrove Tuesday.

Myprotein nutritionist Faye Reid says that Stefanie’s recipe proves how eating a plant-based diet can still provide all the same nutrients as a non-vegan diet so long as you supplement with good quality, vegan substitutes.

Glasgow Times:

“This pancake recipe is very high in protein which is an essential macro-nutrient necessary for muscle growth and development. By opting for a plant-based protein like this Myprotein Vegan Blend , Stefanie’s pancakes contain more than 22g of protein per serving, which is 44% of your RDI.

By adding the oats and banana, she is also including a good combination of carbohydrates and essential vitamins and minerals.

INGREDIENTS

- 100g oats

- 20 grams of Myprotein unflavoured Vegan Protein
