Hands up who’s not a fan of artificial flavours? My hand is firmly in the air about that.

I really really really hate artificial flavours. And my struggle with them has always made finding a decent protein powder a huge challenge. Vanilla flavoured, no thanks. Strawberry versions, oh gross. Banana anything, I’d really rather not. Chocolate fakery, how can you ruin the flavour of chocolate?!

I’ve tried so many different brands, flavours and recipes to try and mask that chalky fake taste and only stopped my search when I found the fabulous Awesome Supplements. All thanks to a wonderful ex-colleague (cheers Faris), I feel like I’ve finally found my holy grail of protein powders.

Now I’m sure you could use your favourite chocolate protein powder in these delicious chocolate and blueberry protein pancakes and they’ll turn out just as yummy. But if not and you wanted to try the one I love, Awesome Supplements have been kind enough to give me 10% off of your first order if you fancied giving them a go?

Testing, testing

Onto the pancakes themselves. I’ve tested these pancakes so many times (much to Rob’s delight) in a bid to find the perfect ratio of oats to protein powder to liquid and I think I’ve come out with the perfect combination.

They’re chocolatey without overdoing it, puff up nice and fluffy while they cook and contain a whopping 38 grams of protein! Personally, I like to add half of my blueberries straight to the batter and scatter the other half on top once cooked.

Served with greek yogurt and a drizzle of maple syrup, they’re my post-workout meal of dreams.

My hands are still up on the artificial flavour front. But these pancakes banish any worries I have about bad tasting protein powder. If you’re a fellow artificial flavour hater, I’d love to hear your thoughts and see the pancakes you make. Tag me at @somethingwithflavour on Instagram.
