A warm, nourishing stack of pancakes with fresh berries, drizzle of honey and creamy tahini. How’s that for a breakfast?

While I’m not usually a pancake girl, when I do make them, they better be damn good. Like these chocolate maca protein pancakes.

This time, I went for a sweet potato version of the classic protein pancakes but with the addition of Kashi’s new vegan protein powder, GOLEAN Plant Powered Shake.

These super healthy pancakes are gluten free, easy to make and will leave you energized for hours. Sweet potato, the star of the show, is a nutritional powerhouse rich in calcium, potassium, vitamins A and C, copper (which assists in production of collagen for beautiful skin) and dietary fiber. The addition of plant-based protein makes sure that you’ll stay properly fueled for hours (plus, protein curbs appetite – find out why here.)

The only (optional) added sweetener here is the honey drizzle, but you’ll be nicely surprised on how perfectly sweet and flavorful these orange-tinted babies are. Give this recipe a try!
