Common Questions
Can I taste the cottage cheese?
No, the blender makes it completely smooth. It just adds incredible moisture and protein to the stack.
Can I use steel cut oats?
Rolled oats work best for this specific texture. Steel cut oats will be too gritty for pancakes.
What protein powder is best?
Whey protein isolate yields the fluffiest results. Plant-based powders may require more liquid.
