Crepes with high-quality whey
Other than that, nothing.
Some whey products contain sweeteners such as sucralose. Sucralose does not tolerate cooking well, as toxic compounds can form when heated.
That's why it's important to choose your whey carefully, even when making pancakes!

Why add whey to your pancakes?
To make plain, protein-rich pancakes, the most popular recipes use whey. Whey is known as petit-lait in French. Its appeal lies in the fact that it is high in protein and low in fat. This is why it is easily incorporated into sports nutrition recipes such as these protein pancakes.
How to make perfect protein pancakes?
In addition to high-quality ingredients, using a non-stick pan is ideal for cooking pancakes properly. Cooking spray acts as a non-stick agent and avoids the use of butter, which is high in fat.
To enjoy healthy pancakes, vary the amount of batter to achieve the desired pancake thickness. If you prefer thick pancakes, measure your batter carefully. If, on the other hand, you like thin, flavorful crepes, adjust the amount accordingly.
Finally, for your topping, sports enthusiasts with a sweet tooth can replace sugar with maple syrup or honey. It's a way to enjoy yourself without losing energy!
Conclusion
Whey pancakes are a new classic in sports nutrition. They are quick to prepare and rich in protein... perfect for an energizing breakfast or after physical exertion.
With high-quality whey, you are providing your body with an excellent source of protein. You have everything you need to support muscle recovery, weight gain, or weight loss.
