I have been recently focusing my meal prep on higher protein intake. This week I made protein pancakes, and sausage. I used Kodiak Power Cakes Chocolate Chip flavor. This was super easy to make as I baked the sausage patties. This is a 460 calorie meal with 31 grams of protein.
You'll need:
• Kodiak Power Cakes Chocolate Chip mix
• Swaggertys Frozen Sausage patties
• Water
1.) Preheat the oven to 400°.
2.) Prepar a baking sheet with sausage patties.
3. Bake for 15-18 minutes.
Pancakes: I did these in batches to get the most accurate measurement.
1.) Mix 1 cup dry pancake mix with 3/4 cup water.
2.) Heat skillet to medium heat.
3.) Cook on first side until pancake starts bubbling.
4.) Flip to second side. Cook to your liking on doneness.
Place both foods in your meal prep container to cook when ready. Refrigerate until use. If you try this prep and enjoy it let me know in the comments.

By preparing high-protein options like pancakes and sausage, you're ensuring a nutritious start to your day. Protein is essential for muscle repair and growth, making it a vital component of your breakfast. Kodiak Power Cakes are an excellent choice as they are made with whole grains and provide a good dose of protein. Combined with savory sausage, these meals not only satisfy hunger but also supply sustained energy throughout the day.
When meal prepping, consider portioning out your pancakes and sausage into individual containers. This makes it easier to grab and go in the morning and helps with portion control. You can also customize the recipe by adding fruits or nuts to your pancakes for additional flavor and nutrition. Remember that proper refrigeration can keep your meals fresh throughout the week, allowing you to enjoy your protein-packed breakfasts without the hassle of daily cooking. If you enjoy experimenting with recipes, feel free to modify the pancake mix with different flavors or brands to find your personal favorite!
