Sweet Potato Protein Pancakes That Fuel

There’s a special kind of satisfaction in a breakfast that tastes like comfort and works with your training. These Sweet Potato Protein Pancakes are that kind of win. Warm, gentle, and recovery-focused.

Ingredients

• ½ cup cooked mashed sweet potato

• 2 eggs

• ¼ cup oats

• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder

• ½ tsp cinnamon

• Splash of almond milk (if needed)

• Optional: fresh berries, nut butter, a drizzle of maple syrup

Directions

1. Blend everything until smooth.

2. Heat a nonstick pan; pour batter and cook until bubbles form, then flip.

3. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.

Why It Works

Sweet potatoes deliver complex carbs, potassium, and beta-carotene. Protein helps repair muscle. Cinnamon adds anti-inflammatory value. Together, it’s an ideal post-long-run meal.

Pair it with a guided cool-down or mobility flow from the app (Movement & Miles includes mobility and strength alongside running).

Try making a batch this weekend. Freeze extras for quick reheat mornings. Use it before a longer run or as recovery fuel after. It’s flexible - just like your training.
