Sweet Potato Protein Pancakes

If you google paleo pancakes, you'll find hundreds of different pancake recipes. But like any recipe, the taste, texture and ingredients are what make these Sweet Potato Protein Pancakes stand out from the rest. 

The traditional pancakes you had when you were a kid were most likely full of enriched flour and artificial ingredients that left you in a food coma for the rest of the day. Luckily for you, we've created this Sweet Potato Protein Pancake recipe to get those extra carbs you need for your next big training session without feeling guilty or uncomfortable.

If you're feeling like you want to indulge in some seriously delicious pancakes without going over your macro count, these pancakes are for you. In this particular recipe, we used a combination of mashed sweet potatoes and our Primitive Protein Pancake mix! 

If you don't have our Primitive Pancake mix, try our Witch's Waffle mix or pair a cup of coconut flour with a scoop of our Vanilla or Chocolate Whey instead! Slam these pancakes down with some Max Effort Coffee and you are ready to go for the day. But what's in these Sweet Potato Protein Pancakes?
