Protein is one of the three macronutrients required in our diets for energy (along with fats and carbs) and we need to be consuming 0.75g per kg of body weight each day. Here’s why:
- Build. Protein is an important building block of bones, muscles, cartilage and skin. In fact, your hair and nails are mostly protein.
- Repair. Your body needs protein to build and repair tissue.
- Oxygenate. Red blood cells contain a protein compound that carries oxygen throughout the body. This helps supply your entire body with the nutrients it needs each day to maintain health.
- Digest. About half the dietary protein that you consume each day goes into making enzymes, which aid in digesting food and making new cells and hormones.
- Regulate. Protein plays an important role in hormone regulation, especially during transformation and development during puberty.
Protein is required by every cell in the body for energy, so it’s essential that we include protein in every meal. It also has a high satiety factor meaning that it makes us feel fuller for longer. Perfect for anyone who wishes to lose weight! Especially those who are trying to
reduce snacking between meals. Protein also helps to repair the muscles after exercise which helps to make the body leaner, so this protein rich powder is great to use as a post-workout snack.
How to use
To create a nutritious pancake, preheat a non-stick pan on low heat. Mix 24g (2 scoops) of Protein Bake Mix with 30ml (2 tbsp) of semi skimmed milk (1.5% fat) or 30ml (2 tbsp) of water.
Once combined, pour the batter into the centre of the pan and spread the pancake out to your desired thickness.
Cook on a low heat for 2-3 minutes until the bottom is golden, then flip the pancake and repeat this step on the second side.
