Protein Pancakes With Banana and Raisins
One of the six-pack detox plan breakfast recipes, these scrumptious pancakes are packed with protein but low in fat, to help you slim down yet build up muscle.
Whey protein not only activates growth hormones, it also reduces the levels of ghrelin (a hormone which tells you you're hungry) in your body. Protein also comes from the eggs used to make the pancake batter, as well as selenium, vitamins D, B2, B6, B12, and minerals such as zinc, iron and copper.
Besides being a great source of potassium, bananas are excellent for digestion and lowering cholesterol, as well as bringing many other health benefits to the meal.
Raisins are dehydrated grapes, but this actually means you are getting a concentrated form of the nutrients, including B vitamins, iron and potassium. They are also a surprisingly good source of carbohydrate, so ideal for a pre-workout breakfast.
Agave nectar is similar to honey, and has a low GI, making it the ideal weight-loss sweetener.
A sweet, tasty, protein-packed breakfast to kick off your day.
