WOW!...I'M HOOKED! ...when I first looked into this Protein Pancake Mix I became interested because I liked the Macros' ratio and the Ingredients used in it (except for the Erithritol, I would have preferred if it was sweetened with Stevia or Monkfruit). The reviews I saw at the time weren't great but I decided to give it a try anyway ...and I'm glad I did. I bought the Buttermilk Pancakes and OMG! They are Amazing! They taste delicious and the texture is perfect. They are so tasty that I don't even want to eat them with the syrup I had bought for them because it masks their delicious flavor. I will definitely be buying it again and would Absolutely recommend it. Unfortunately, I'm going to have to try Not to eat it too often because of the sweetener used in it. Erithritol is one of those Sweeteners I don't think should be used daily. But overall, a GREAT product.

[[VIDEOID:f67a06d7f2f730f3e26df43f0f155044]] Review of: Flourish Chocolate Protein Pancake & Waffle Mix<br /><br />Especially considering how the Flourish Protein Pancake and Waffle Mix comes in vanilla, chocolate, and buttermilk flavors, I had expected that the chocolate variety would be … well … chock-full of chocolate flavor. I had expected that the chocolate flavor profile would be something akin to the chocolate flavor of a cake mix.<br /><br />What I found, however, is that there is very little chocolate flavor; some but not much. For me, a disappointing amount of chocolate.<br /><br />And, even though one of the pictures on the product page indicates that the ingredients include ‘cacao nibs’, cacao nibs are not listed on the ingredients label on the bag and I couldn’t find them, visually at least, in the mix.<br /><br />I do like the convenience of being able to add water to the mix and nothing else. But, like other protein mixes I’ve tried in the past, I found in my test of the Flourish product that if I followed the recommended proportions the end mix/batter is very thin.<br /><br />I initially tried making waffles with the recommended proportions but when I did, I found the waffles (even though I did use non-stick spray on the waffle maker) stuck to the waffle maker and broke apart when trying to get them off the waffle maker.<br /><br />As a second attempt, however, I increased the amount of mix I added to the batter and then double-sprayed the waffle maker and the results were far more acceptable.<br /><br />The waffles that came out (except for the lack of chocolate flavor) I considered to be reasonably okay. The texture of the waffle, a bit crunchy on top but nice and fluffy on the inside; so a nice texture. And, I think the flax seed maybe did add a little bit to the crunchy aspect of the waffle.<br /><br />Finally, the cooking instructions on the bag say to use ½ cup of mix, but the package doesn’t tell specify how many servings that makes. In my tests I made more than a double serving (1 cup + right around another ¼ cup of mix) and that combination only made three waffles.<br /><br />At the end-of-the-day, the waffles I tasted tested didn’t end up tasting like anything super special; let alone like chocolate flavored waffles. So much so that I found myself thinking about what I need to add to the mix when I make try using the product to make pancakes.<br /><br />So for me, especially considering the price, I’ll look elsewhere once this bag of mix is done.<br /><br />If this review was helpful, please click the Helpful button below

Thank you.

This mix is very easy to make. It requires a half cup of mix and a scant half cup of water (1/2 cup less a tbsp). I found adding water and gauging visually made a batter more to my liking. The powder smell like vanilla. It makes an attractive waffle. The flavor was okay but if you put enough butter and maple syrup on anything tastes good.(and defeats the point of healthy) It is rather chewy. Not bad but not something I would rush out to buy. But 33grams of carbs is very high. They score highly for ease of oreparation but have only an average taste and texture.

I really liked the nutritional composition of this mix and was excited to try it. I was quickly disappointed by the information, the direction, and the pancakes themselves.<br />First, the nutritional information is ONLY in grams rather than volume like cups so that I had to weigh the mix to determine the carbohydrates for my insulin-dependent husband, because the directions for making the pancakes refers to a half-cup.<br />The proportions called for in the directions were also off. The directions called for a half-cup of mix and a half-cup minus a tablespoon of water or milk. That sounded like a lot of liquid, and it really was WAY too much, although I measured carefully. The resulting batter was very soupy and would have run all over the edge of the griddle. I had to add almost ¾ cup of mix to one cup of mix and one cup minus 2 tablespoons of water to make a batter that would stay together.<br />Finally, the pancakes themselves were somewhat dry and had a rather acrid aftertaste.<br />A disappointment all around.

I’ve tried just about every protein food item available. This is a win:<br />Taste great and will buy again. Not too sweet, but not too subtle. Fluffy enough and tasty enough to satisfy birthday cake cravings.
