Serves 15 pikelets
The Lupinist's Tips
Each one of these tasty pikelets provides a whopping 8.5g of protein!
2-3 pikelets make the perfect post-workout breakfast.
In addition to providing protein to repair the muscles, they also provide carbohydrate to replace all that energy you just burnt up and a great boost of fibre to keep you full.
Alternatively, they make a satisfying snack to help you get through the afternoon without raiding the cookie jar.
