This isn’t your average stack of pancakes. We’re taking fluffy, golden flapjacks to the next level by supercharging them with LIFEGAIN® Advanced Nutritional Supplement. That’s right, these flapjacks are designed to tantalise your taste buds and support your overall well-being.

Ingredients

• 1 (118g) medium banana
• 1 large egg
• 2 heaped Tbsp. LIFEGAIN® Vanilla (or use 2 scoops provided in the tin)
• 1 tsp. cinnamon
• ½ cup fresh or frozen mixed berries

Method

1. Add the medium banana to a blender and blend on low until just broken down, not completely smooth (you can mash the banana if you don’t mind a rougher texture).
2. Add the egg, LIFEGAIN® Vanilla, and cinnamon, then blend on low until smooth.
3. Heat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat, then lightly spray the pan surface with cooking spray. Use half of the batter to form two flapjacks in the pan. When the batter starts to bubble, flip over. Repeat with the rest of the batter.
4. Top with fresh or frozen berries. 

PLEASE NOTE: Applying heat to the ingredients used in the recipe may cause the denaturation of some nutrients.

ADD VARIETY

• Use LIFEGAIN® Chocolate if you want a chocolate taste or add 1 level tsp. cacao instead.
• Use LIFEGAIN® Strawberry to add to the berry taste. 
• Add 1 Tbsp. of plain low-fat yoghurt with the berries or spread a tsp. of sugar-free peanut butter on the flapjack.

The stealthy snack: Ditch the boring bread. These Lettuce Roll-ups are like tiny edible tuxedos for all your favourite sandwich fillings. Sneak some veggies in while you’re at it. Shhh, don’t tell the taste buds.

Ingredients

• 8 Iceberg lettuce leaves
• 2 Tbsp. reduced fat mayonnaise
• 1 tsp. mustard
• 3 (40g) prosciutto slices (or any other lean ham) or 30g chicken breast, strips
• 6 slices cucumber
• 8 cherry tomatoes, cut in half

You will also need:

• 1 piece of baking paper (30cm x 30cm)

Method

1. On a cutting board, place the baking paper. Layer 5 – 8 lettuce leaves in the middle of the baking paper. The sides of the lettuce leaves should be on top of each other, leaving no space between them. Layer the topping by spreading first the mustard and then the mayonnaise.
2. Add the prosciutto (lean ham or chicken breast), slices of cucumber, and tomatoes.
3. Roll the lettuce by using the baking paper as your base and as tight as possible.
4. Halfway through rolling, fold the edges towards the centre and continue rolling like a burrito. When it’s completely wrapped, roll the remainder of the baking paper around the lettuce.
5. Using a knife, slice in half and enjoy.

Cottage cheese packs a powerful nutritional punch, making it a great addition to your diet for three reasons:

• Protein powerhouse: It’s particularly high in protein, with almost half of its kilojoules coming from protein. 
• Calcium champion: Cottage cheese is an excellent source of calcium, which is crucial for strong bones and teeth.
• Vitamin and mineral rich: It’s not just protein and calcium. Cottage cheese contains a good amount of B vitamins, which play a role in energy production and cell function.
