You can also drink protein-rich snacks: Lisa Mary's high protein coffee

Lisa Mary is a personal trainer, online coach and fitness influencer. On Instagram , she not only gives her around 19,000 followers wellness and fitness tips, she also repeatedly reveals her favorite recipes. One of them is the high protein coffee , which is cleverly conjured up with coffee ice cubes. Sounds good? He is too. A nice drinkable protein snack that will provide you with protein and put a smile on your face. That's how good he is. She told us how to make it. The recipe comes now:

Caffeine plus protein equals: delicious. Lisa Mary's coffee idea.

You need:

• A cup of Café Crema, divided into 4-5 ice cubes
• ½ cup plant milk
• 1 to 2 tsp Plant Protein Vanilla from Dextro Energy*
• 1 scoop of vegan ice cream of your choice

That's how it works:

2. Heat the milk and froth it. Then mix with the protein powder.
3. Put the coffee ice cubes in a nice glass (for a latte macchiato, for example), then pour the frothed milk over it.

The classic in a new look: sinfully good high protein pancakes

Together with her friend and fitness influencer Anja (you can find it here on Instagram), Lisa Mary came up with a second recipe. And it's all about one of the best ideas ever created in a kitchen: pancakes ! More precisely: high protein pancakes that are equally tempting for athletes and those with a sweet tooth. The version of the two fitness fans contains a particularly high amount of protein. A matter of honor.

Vegan and proteins? It's easy with our pancakes.

You need:

• 100 g oat flour (make your own from oat flakes or simply buy them)
• 40 g Plant Protein Vanilla from Dextro Energy*
• 1 apple
• 250 ml oat milk
• 1 tbsp sparkling water (important!)
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 2 tablespoons oil
• 3 tbsp agave syrup

That's how it works:

1. It's simple: you mix all the ingredients together until you have a nice mixture. If it is a little too thick, you can thin it a little with oat milk. If it's too runny, thicken it with oat flour.
2. Then bake about 10 small pancakes in the greased pan (make sure the pan is hot, but not too hot). You can turn it over when the small protein suppliers start to bubble.
3. What you put on your protein pancakes is up to you. But classics like maple syrup and fruit always work, but toppings like chia seeds or vegan chocolate are also always worth considering. Bon appetit!
