RE: Pre Workout PROTEIN Pancakes [Vegan]

in #health7 years ago

Don't mean to rain on your parade, but Man, that looks more like a ton of depleted carbs and sugar to me! (and you might wanna go easy on the estrogen mimicking soy products too) - jus sayin!!!

Sort:  

how bout almond milk (easy to make in blender) , and there are some good high protein flour mixes that might serve you better than that white stuff ;)

Touche!!! I would never say no to almond milk. I best get my hands on some! :)

I wouldn't eat this meal on a regularly unless I'm riding at least 400km per week, purely because of the large sugar content. I'm not sure what you mean by depleted carbs? I'm not worried about oestrogen, there is a big misconception about soy products raising oestrogen levels in the body, but this just isn't true. But I appreciate your impute non the less! :) If you're not convinced you can check out this clinical studies if you like:

Thanks - it's true I take a lot on board that feels intrinsically or instinctively true, but don't always follow the studies and the ever shifting landscape of what's "in" and what's "out".
What I do know is that any white flour and or sugar product that is denuded of it's integrity (fibre, mineral content, etc) hits the digestive system and metabolism hard eventually if not immediately - i.e. if not in your 20's or 30's, then definitely in your 50's!!!
Right - I guess I am gonna have to post a couple of my favourite almond milk recipes...!
