Blueberry Protein Pancakes
These protein pancakes are not your typical whey-packed breakfast rounds (although they could be altered to include an extra boost of protein powder, if desired*). Instead, the surprising scoop of cottage cheese adds a boost of protein without any change in flavour or digestive distress, which can sometimes be accompanied with whey-based products. This quick and comforting recipe can be whipped up in an individual or batch amount and topped with a variety of on-hand ingredients.
