Healthy pancakes. No sugar here!
Brunch, whether it’s on New Year’s Day or any other time of year, doesn’t have to be unhealthy. Trouble is, your typical restaurant brunch can be a dietary minefield: orange juice? Pure sugar. Pancakes? Filler with no fiber. Serving size? Way too big; a typical restaurant portion is two, three, sometimes four serving sizes.
Here’s a healthy, quick, easy, delicious alternative – with no flour, sugar or gluten, but plenty of fiber, vitamins and protein.
