We all know it, the nutrient that is responsible for the feeling of satiety are proteins. Every time you snack on raw veggies or fruits, expect to be hungry again within a couple minutes. With that being said, for a lot of us, consuming the right amount of protein our body needs on a daily basis is problematic. And I say”we”, because I include myself in the mix.
I had been thinking about incorporating protein powder in my diet for a while before I actually gave it a try. After purchasing a cheap brand (that was frankly disgustingly sweet) as I was quickly passing by the pharmacy, and long hours of research, I finally found the brand that I liked.
I consume protein powder in shakes, but I also like to use it in certain recipes, to increase their protein content, like in the pancake recipe I am about to share with you, for instance.
