Hello Friends,
So, what in the world makes a pancake “Paleo” ?
They’re dairy free and grain free! Seems almost impossible, right?
(note: I am NOT supporting the paleo diet as a healthy lifestyle choice)
Unlike your typical order of short stacks, which give you a sugar rush that is immediately followed by having to take a nap, these little buggers have just the right amount of fat, carbs and protein to keep you energized and satiated for hours.
I created these light and airy pancakes for our 10 Day Health Challenge Spring Guide and my bet is they becomeĀ your Sunday staple too š
(you can still get theĀ 40+ healthy recipes here)
So, what’s in them….
