It has been forever since I have made something red velvet. I think the last thing might have been my red velvet protein donuts way back. Well, I finally got back to it with these superfood red velvet protein pancakes.

 

I don’t think red velvet can get much more healthy than this. I was lucky enough to get a package from MRM Nutrition and they sent me some of their vegan veggie protein as well as a few superfood powders. One of those superfood powders was their organic red beet powder.

 

I used the red beet powder to give these pancakes the red color instead of using that nasty food coloring that is typically used. It doesn’t make them taste like you are eating beets, but it does give it a slight flavor. If you don’t like beets, just use food coloring.

 

And of course, as all good red velvet recipes should, I made a cream cheese/cheesecake icing to top them with. It is just a bit of cheesecake flavored pudding mixed with some vanilla greek yogurt. Then, I had to top the pancakes with some carob chips.

You can definitely feel good about eating these thanks to the beet powder and carob chips which are some amazing superfoods!
