It’s been a few weeks since we posted our last recipe and with the first day of school around the corner, we wanted to give you some ideas to start the year on a healthy and happy note.
So have you heard of the old wives’ tale that you should eat your colors? Then you’ll love these green pancakes!
Pancakes are traditionally thought of as an unhealthy breakfast, but these are actually gluten free, sugar free, dairy free and paleo. In addition, they are great way to get spinach into what is otherwise a “treat” type meal especially for kids.
Without further ado, we wish you a fruitful start to the new school year and hope you enjoy our latest recipe!
