Pancakes are the new healthy

One of my favourite breakfast meals is to make pancakes on a slow weekend morning. Not all pancakes are unhealthy and just because it's healthy doesn't mean it needs to lack yumminess. It’s what they are made of and what you add on top that can turn this breaky into one your body will thank you for and will keep you coming back for more!

I make almond and buckwheat pancakes, the easy to make mix can be found at Woolworths in the health food section (Mt. Elephant) and then throw on the following delicious and healthy toppings!

• Raw organic honey: Antioxidant & antibacterial.

• Yogurt: Probiotic, super food for gut health.

• Peanut butter: A healthy fat, contains B vitimans, protein and magnesium, boosts heart health.

• Your choice of seasonal fruits: Floods your body with essential nutrients and vitamins.

• Your choice of crushed nuts: Almonds, walnuts, peacan & brazil are all good options. Nuts contain huge amounts of essential minerals and healthy fats to aid your body in every single way!
