Blueberry pancakes drenched in butter and maple syrup – delicious but so hard on your blood sugar, right? I’ve mixed up this Sugar Free Blueberry Pancake Shake with the flavors of your favorite breakfast pancakes but left out the sugar and excess carbs. Trim Healthy Mamas, if you’re in a hurry you can make this for breakfast in any THM fuel style! If you’re tired of your boring blueberry protein shake, give this a try 😉

When you don’t have time for blueberry pancakes do the next best thing – make my Blueberry Pancake Shake! It’s a delicious low-carb alternative to regular pancakes. It’s also quicker than making actual pancakes – on or off plan 😉

When I was a kid, I hated blueberries. I’m pretty sure it’s because my babysitter would load up all of us kids and make us pick them at the U-pick blueberry place.

Somewhere along the line, I changed my mind about blueberries. I suspect that cheesecake was involved. Whatever the reason, now these beautiful blue packed-with-healthy-goodness gems find their way into many of my meals…

• Salmon with Blueberry Sauce
• Blueberry Lemon Smoothie (with a Secret)
• In salads
• Topping yogurt or cottage cheese
• Or just a snack with some almonds

Where’s the Protein in this Sugar Free Blueberry Pancake Shake?

You’ve got several easy protein options in this easy recipe. I initially made it with no added protein, and honestly I like it best like that. As a snack with a piece of cheese or a boiled egg is perfect. For breakfast, try with your favorite eggs. For lunch or dinner it makes a great dessert after a protein-centered meal.

If you are in a hurry and need to drink your breakfast (or whatever meal) then try adding:

• a scoop of collagen – this has the least impact on flavor
• a scoop of whey protein powder – it will change the flavor slightly
• cottage cheese – an economical source of protein (doesn’t change the flavor much, either)

A Note on Ingredients.

For “brown sugar” I recommend Low Carb Brown Sugar from Wonderfully Made and Dearly Loved. I’ve also used the Gwen’s Nest recipe and it’s great too.

I initially made this with Lakanto Maple Flavored Sugar-Free Syrup, which is considered a “personal choice” item. It’s fairly pricey so I only use it occasionally for a special treat. It only has 1 gram net carb per 2 tablespoons, too.

Most of the time I use the Pancake Syrup recipe in the THM Cookbook and that would work fine here. I’d also highly recommend Rich Buttery Sugar Free Maple Syrup from Nana’s Little Kitchen.

If you don’t have either the Lakanto syrup or some homemade, on-plan pancake syrup, you could try maple flavoring and a bit of on-plan sweetener. And if you’d like to make this for your kiddos or others who are not following a low-glycemic way of eating go ahead and use that lovely real, pure maple syrup!

Trim Healthy Mamas: How to Include This Sugar Free Blueberry Pancake Shake In Your Meal Plan.

You can make this shake to suit any THM fuel type (except for Deep S). Making it “basic” without protein added it’s a Fuel Pull.

• To stay Fuel Pull, add a scoop of collagen or whey
• For an S, add some MCT oil or heavy whipping cream
• For an E, be sure to add one of the protein choices (cottage cheese will add more carbs) and include another carb source.

Remember that you can make the “basic” Blueberry Pancake Shake and include it as a dessert after your meals.
