🍁🎃🍂❤️ Dear friends,
I hope this finds you peaceful as we start a new season! And here’s hoping it brings you some lovely fall walks 🍁, greater alignment with what serves you, and release of what doesn’t. ❤️
🥞 Here’s a little taste of our morning routine with a recipe for breakfast currently on rotation at our house. I love how it fills the kitchen with cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove - the smells of Fall! ❤️
It’s a take on a similar recipe we created last year, but we’ve taken out the refined flour and replaced it with a mix of whey protein, pea protein, and almond flour. It’s better for balanced blood sugar, and yum!
🧡 These gluten-free pumpkin spice protein pancakes are a seasonal, kid-approved, protein-rich, & nutrient-dense way to start the day.
Sweetened with banana 🍌 and sweet potato 🍠, they offer 207% of your daily vitamin A and 16.5g of protein to support your immune system as you head into the season. ✨ They’re sweet, so no need to add maple syrup, but delightful with a sprinkle of mini chocolate chips, walnuts, and mixed berries. Serve with a side of scrambled eggs to really up your protein game. 🥞❤️
Recipe Here:
1 1/4 cup h**p milk
4 eggs
2 small sweet potatoes, peeled
1/2 overripe banana
1/2 cup fine almond flour
1/4 cup (1 scoop) vanilla grass fed whey protein

1.5 tsp pumpkin spice seasoning
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp xanthan gum (great for gluten free baking)

- Top with berries 🍓🫐🍓🫐
Makes 6 servings.
