These pumpkin flax protein pancakes are not only healthy, but they are delicious!! There are benefits to being stuck home in an ice storm…new, scrumptious recipes are born out of my boredom. I used unflavored whey protein from Source Organic…very pure protein powder made from the milk of grass-fed Jersey cows.
Whey protein that comes from cows that are able to graze year-round in the pasture are rich in CLA’s and Omega-3’s. There is no weird flavor or aftertaste with this protein powder, it doesn’t alter the taste of your recipes, just adds more wholesome goodness. It’s a perfect addition to kid’s smoothies and milkshakes, too!

I avoid dairy but would love to have my husband try this! I worry about him using non-organic dairy products.
