Super Vegan Pancake

High protein content, around 160% DR. Contains the essential amino acid lysine in a higher percentage than rice protein. It is especially suitable for muscle growth as it is high in BCCA. BCCA are three branched-chain amino acids, namely leucine, isoleucine and valine, which our body does not produce and which we can only acquire through food or supplementation.

Naturally derived from pumpkin seeds - one of the foods with the highest protein content and which has an extremely rich mineral profile, notably due to its magnesium, iron and zinc content - this protein powder brings together all of its nutritional benefits, with a protein content of 60%. It has a high unsaturated fat content which gives it a flavour profile reminiscent of roasted nuts.

These are excellent sources of plant proteins, fibre (soluble and insoluble) and omega-3 fatty acids (ALA). These seeds are an essential addition to the daily diet, with benefits to the body based on their anti-inflammatory action. 

It is gluten-free, being the result of grinding whole grain oatmeal. This naturally gluten-free cereal is not only rich in fibre and an excellent source of protein, but also contains many minerals such as magnesium, iron and phosphorus. Its nutritional profile makes oats the ideal ingredient to form the basis of a breakfast or pre-workout meal. In addition to its complex carbohydrates, which prolong the feeling of satiety, oats contain beta-glucans - polysaccharides that help maintain normal blood cholesterol levels (beneficial effect obtained with a daily intake of 3g of beta-glucans from oats, oat bran, barley bran or mixtures of these beta-glucans). 

This is an excellent substitute for refined wheat flour, not only for being naturally gluten-free, but for its functionality and versatility, contributing to a richer and more complete nutritional profile, in combination with whole grain oats. The consumption of whole grains is associated with a lower risk of developing cardiovascular diseases, mainly due to its high fibre and micronutrient content. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27301975/ 

In addition to its intense flavour and aroma, it contributes with its nutritional power: Cocoa is particularly rich in minerals such as magnesium, potassium, iron and copper (a mineral that helps protect cells against unwanted oxidation) and contains polyphenols (compounds that act as antioxidants in the body) - especially capable of reducing inflammation, lowering blood pressure and regulating lipid metabolism, all mechanisms that correlate the consumption of cocoa (and many other polyphenol-rich vegetables) with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease. - Artigos para consulta:The emerging role of flavonoid-rich cocoa and chocolate in cardiovascular health and disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16572598/ Cocoa-induced (Theobroma cacao) effects on cardiovascular system: HDL modulation pathways https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30144879/
