1.Homemade High-Protein Banana & Salted Caramel Pancake Stack

Is there anything better than a fluffy stack of pancakes? How about a stack infused with the natural sweetness of ripe bananas, topped with creamy yoghurt, and drizzled with nut butter?

SFCs delicious low-sugar pancake mix is easy to use. To make salted caramel flavour pancakes, just pour 180ml of milk or water into a bowl, add 120g of pancake mix and a scoop of salted caramel whey protein and give it a good whisk to get rid of any lumps. 

Leave the mixture to rest for a minute, spray your frying pan with low-calorie cooking spray, and add the mixture to the pan when it’s boiling hot. Cook the pancakes gently for one and a half minutes on each side until golden brown on both sides. 

Once you’ve made your pancakes, add a dollop of Greek yoghurt, a spoonful of nut butter, and some finely sliced bananas.

The bananas bring natural sweetness and a host of nutrients, including potassium and vitamin C. When you combine them with protein-rich yoghurt and nut butter, this pancake stack becomes a powerhouse of flavour and nutrition. Plus, it’s packed with protein to help you feel satisfied for longer. 

2. Mini No-bake High Protein Strawberry Cheesecakes

Want a sweet, fruity and filling dessert? With this recipe, you can indulge in the creamy goodness of cheesecake combined with fresh, ripe strawberries - without the guilt of traditional cheesecake desserts. 

To make two portions, you’ll need 4 light digestive biscuits, 2 tsp of melted coconut oil, 45g of light cream cheese, 35g of Greek yoghurt, half a scoop of strawberry creme whey protein, a drop of Skinny Food strawberry crush flavour drops, a handful of strawberries and some chocolate hazelnut protein spread to drizzle on top. 

To make the bases, blitz the biscuits in a fruit processor or put them in an airtight bag and bash them with a rolling pin. Mix them with the melted coconut oil. Next, blend the Greek yoghurt with light cream cheese and whey protein until smooth. Spoon the mixture on top of the biscuit bases, add chopped strawberries, and drizzle some chocolate hazelnut protein spread on top.
