My THM-Friendly recipe for Protein Pumpkin Pancakes is an Energizing (carb) meal that’s high protein, low fat, and sugar free. I love figuring out and sharing cheap and easy Trim Healthy Mama friendly recipes. My goal is to make it easy to eat healthy for an affordable price and in a delicious way. This Protein Pumpkin Pancake Recipe is a perfect way to have an Autumn-y meal while crushing your protein goals! It has about 30g of protein in it.

Health Benefits of the Protein Pumpkin Pancake

• It meets an ideal protein goal of 25g+. Protein is essential because it’s what helps your body keep and build muscle. Without muscle, your body can’t burn fat, and overall health quickly goes downhill. The fact that it contains this much protein makes it a Trim Healthy Mama Friendly Recipe that’s up-to-date with the plan’s new Wisdom ways.
• It’s a carb meal, yay! Good, healthy carbs are so important. Especially for us women. Ideally, half or more of our meals should contain good carbs (so not white bread or sugar, no, no, no).
• Energy boost for breakfast. Good carbs are especially a good way to start your day! They give you that nice little burst of energy.
