If you can't eat the sugary goodness of regular pancakes, try out some of Team Sky's healthy pancakes. Chris Froome is (not) a fan

While even the most health-conscious amateur cyclists may indulge in a spot of sugar, jam and cream on their made-at-home pancakes, spare a thought for the professionals who aren’t allowed such luxuries.
