INGREDIENT BREAKDOWN

• Vanilla Pancake Batter THRIVE Plant Protein: packed with plant-based protein, essential amino acids, and a range of micronutrients, this protein powder not only enhances the flavour, but provides numerous health benefits. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein, essential for muscle repair, growth, and overall cellular function. Additionally, the micronutrients in the protein powder, such as vitamins and minerals, support various metabolic processes in the body, promoting overall well-being.
• Oat flour: as a gluten-free alternative to traditional flour, oat flour offers a rich source of dietary fibre, which aids in digestion, promotes satiety, and helps regulate blood sugar levels. It also contains important nutrients like iron, magnesium, and B vitamins, contributing to energy production and overall health.
• Nut butter: rich in healthy fats, protein, and fibre, natural nut butter provides sustained energy and promotes feelings of fullness. Additionally, it offers essential nutrients such as vitamin E, magnesium, and potassium, which support heart health, muscle function, and immune function.
• Honey or maple syrup: while providing natural sweetness, honey or maple syrup also contains antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals that offer various health benefits. These include antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, as well as potential benefits for heart health, immune function, and skin health.
• Coconut oil: known for its unique combination of fatty acids, coconut oil offers numerous health benefits, including supporting heart health, promoting weight loss, and boosting brain function. 
• Chocolate chips: although primarily adding sweetness and flavour to the cookie dough, chocolate chips also contain antioxidants called flavonoids, which have been linked to various health benefits, including improved heart health, brain function, and mood.
