First time trying protein pancakes and I wouldn’t buy again. The golden syrup tasted so artificial, the pancakes were dry and so horrible to eat. No amount of toppings could mask the taste and them palatable. The first time I made them I used the amount of water recommended for 2 scoops and it was so runny. Next time I made them I created a thick consistency and added some baking powder which made them fluffy but the taste was still urgh. I’ve read that cookies and cream and chocolate are better and perhaps I should’ve tried those first but I didn’t so now I’m returning the unopened packages as I seriously don’t want to give them another go. I’ll stick with making pancakes the old fashioned way with milk, eggs, flour and then adding some protein powder to the mix.

This was my first time ordering protein from MP, as I was struggling to hit my daily protein target. I chose the cookie and cream due to other reviews on here. The pancakes are great for a breakfast or a snack, and they’re very filling. I typically have them with strawberries, banana and Nutella (not the healthiest admittedly, but we’ve still got to enjoy). I’ve tried them with water and oat milk, and not noticed much difference in texture. The only difficulty I have is when cooking, they can sometimes foam and not cook properly, - this could be due to me still learning how to make them. All in all, great powder and I’ll be purchasing these again. Goes Well With: Nutella, banana, strawberries, Any other berries would be suitable. Does not go well with: maple syrup.

Brilliant product, highly recommended. Tried them all (apart from unflavoured) and really enjoyed with a decent hit of protein at the same time. Often have as a pre bed snack. Can take a little while to figure out how to cook them as they are different to normal panckaes, however once figured they're perfection. In a rush they're even good in the microwave. Only thing I would like is for all the flavours to come in 1kg bag options as only 200g bags are ever available for blueberry, cinnamon and sugar or nut nougat. Therefore it's a lot more expensive and I'm unable to have frequently compared to the 1kg bags for the other flavours. Obviously if Myprotein could release other flavours in the future as well that would be awesome for instance tiramisu or sticky toffee ... MoreBrilliant product, highly recommended.

So far I’ve tried 3 of the pancake flavours and I’m here to give an honest review. You have to take into consideration that these are pancakes packed with protein and for 200 kcal they’re fantastic. They’re obviously not going to taste like normal pancakes but it’s expected. I made all my pancakes with water only. Unflavoured - lots of people said they hated it but I really liked it because I could make my own flavours with spices and my other 0 calorie sweeteners I have at home. Very customisable 7/10 Nut Nougat - delicious flavour, no need for any syrup or anything as it is sweet enough. Possibly too sweet, so unless you are able to tolerate extreme sweetness, I wouldn’t purchase 6/10 Cinnamon Sugar - the best out of them all. Again no need for syrups or jam, ...

I added extra cinnamon because I live for lots of cinnamon. They sort of tasted like gingerbread cookies to me. Love this flavour, for me personally it wasn’t too sweet however it was just about to be, but everyone has different preferences so it’s completely up to you 8.5/10 I’ve read the reviews that say they don’t taste like normal pancakes or they have a weird texture. They are protein pancakes. You cannot expect the real thing. I personally love the texture. Nice and fluffy straight off the pan but collapse once they start to cool. I love this pancakes and I will be purchasing more because for that amount of protein, the macros are absolutely fantastic Goes Well With: Chopped Fruit 0 calorie syrups 7 calorie jams

I forgot that putting whey protein in pancakes makes them taste like cardboard, so that is my bad for forgetting this when purchasing this product (hence the 3 stars). I am surprised at how good the reviews are. I tried them the first time with just almond milk and they were SO dry. The texture is also not good. I topped these with yoghurt and fruit so they were somewhat edible. I obviously don't want to waste the packet, so for my second batch I added mashed banana, and this made it a lot better. I also topped them with a protein spread and they were pretty good. I will do this combo again for the rest of the packet. I love a lot of myprotein products and will continue to purchase from them, just not this product! Lucky it is only a small packet, so not much money ...

I tried these as the protein was way higher than the vegan ones (i had read the vegan ones were better and they have a lovely vanilla flavour) and do not like them one bit. I tried chocolate and maple syrup, i can’t even describe the taste but they do not taste how you’d expect.. most likely due to the high protein! The maple syrup is sickly sweet but not in a good way (and i have such a sweet tooth), chocolate is a mild chocolate flavour but has that protein-ey taste. The suggested amount of milk is not enough, i used that plus more alone for a 50g scoop and it was so thick it was hard to swallow. I would suggest using quite a bit more, mix until basically watery - it will make thinner pancakes which are far better! Also when you mix the milk in the mixture forms ...

Also when you mix the milk in the mixture forms small clumps, which is so annoying - doesn’t affect the pancakes too much but doesn’t seem to mix all that well. I then have mine with some fruit and sweet freedom choc shot (great combo). As much as I didn’t like them, i really do suggest to try as i think it is a preference thing. I also think the protein intake is amazing for what it is, and if that is your focus these will definitely do. But if you’re wanting more of an authentic pancake taste/texture then i’d go with the vegan pancakes, less protein but can find ways to bring in more! Goes Well With: Fruit and sweet freedom choc shot
I got the unflavoured one as I wanted the flexibility to add flavours and not commit to one. Mixed with water the batter comes out very runny, with skimmed milk the batter comes out really nice. Here’s the thing though, if you don’t add anything to the batter this is really hard to eat, it really is UNFLAVOURED(!), and you can really taste the protein supplement… you need to add some sweetener (I added sugarly) and some flavour extract (I used vanilla) and that made them quite alright! They can also come out VERY dry, so don’t cook them for long. Wait for them to bubble up on one side, then cook just for a few seconds on the other side. Add some blueberries and the butterscotch syrup they sell and you’ve got a nice enough meal! The additions are definitely worth the ...

I used to try making protein pancakes with a frying pan like normal pancakes. They never turned out like real pancakes. They would either burn or stick to the bottom of my non-stick pan, or overflow like porridge and go everywhere on the hob. I tried adding an egg, adding oats to give it more consistency, oat milk, almond milk, normal milk, coconut milk. Nothing worked. Eventually, I put two scoops of protein pancake mix and two scoops of rolled oats in a bowl, added a bit of water, and microwaved it. It came out like a cake. I played around with how much water to add and I can now eye it so it is neither a solidified but jelly-ish porridge cake nor a rock solid cake I had to saw open. I add some almond butter when the cake is done. It is super easy, does not make a ... MoreI used to try making protein pancakes with a frying pan like normal pancakes.

Before buying this product I had a bit of trouble choosing flavours as most of the reviews didn't specify what flavour they tried. Now I have tried most the flavours and thought I would write a review in case someone else was in the same position. Blueberry: 0/10 - was super excited for this one as I love blueberry pancakes but tasted SOOO artificial it was sickly, threw the rest of the packet away. Don't get!! Golden syrup: 10/10 probably my favourite. It is really sweet though incase thats not your thing but yeah tastes like pancakes with syrup Cinnamon and sugar: 10/10 close 2nd. Not too sweet strong cinnamon flavour Maple syrup: 7/10 Saw a lot of hype for this one. Pretty good but not as good as golden syrup in my opinion. Has an after taste that Golden syrup ...

Cookies and cream: 7/10 pretty good but nothing special. not as sweet as others. Overall i would recommend trying a few 200g bags before committing to buying a full kilo. And also using milk instead of water improves the taste/texture. I use 100-115ml. Hope this helps Goes Well With: almond milk, soy milk
