add any toppings/ingredients that you'd like. this recipe is adaptable to your flavor preferences. some suggested toppings are banana slices, fresh fruit, chocolate chips, peanut butter or a honey drizzle. the limit really doesn't exist!
you can make this recipe vegan friendly by using a vegan protein powder, one of my favorite's is this protein powder from 1st phorm. the only other thing you'll need to do is use a flax egg instead of a regular egg.
a flax egg is 1 tbsp of ground flax seed mixed with 2 tbsp of water. let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes before adding into the batter. this will allow the mixture to thicken and act as an egg!
yes! i suggest making this no sooner than the night before you plan to eat it but it is best when eaten fresh!
