Here’s a healthier option for your breakfast pancakes. This pancake mix made from whole wheat is cholesterol-free, is high in fiber, has zero transfat, and uses muscovado sugar. The mix is also great for newbie MomChefs like me who have yet to perfect pancakes made from scratch (which comes after mustering patience to accurately measure the ingredients and properly mix them together) and who still call dumping ingredients together “cooking”.
Breakfast: Banana-Carrot-Pineapple Whole Wheat Pancake
Featured Product: Maya Think Heart Whole Wheat Pancake
- 1 pack Maya Think Heart Whole Wheat Pancake
- 1 medium egg

- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
Procedure:

Verdict:
The toddlers gave it two four thumbs up and two empty plates as well.
Husband wasn’t able to taste it though as he had already left for work by the time I finished cooking the pancakes. Heck, the toddlers loved it – He’s sure to love it also! (I really should serve this again for breakfast this weekend ^_^)
Just had a peek at your website and I am in love! I am a fitnses director and I am very aware of how processed America eats even when they think they are trying to be healthy. My three year old son eats Red Peppers (whole) for a snack and thinks that baby carrots are a real treat as he should! I always feel like I’m the only parent in his school that actually cares about their child’s nutritional well-being as most kids eat Pop-tarts and Cinnabons for breakfast. Most of these parents are on their way to being obese and I really do believe that they just don’t know or want to understand proper nutrition because it is hard to keep it clean. With that being said, we owe it to our children to make them understand healthy, organic, clean eating and the power of healthy nurtition. I am teaching healthy eating seminars at my son’s school this year for the parents and administors to try and help them understand the possiblities of eating well and how they can take small steps to keeping it clean.I applaud your dedication to healthy lunches and know that we can all make a difference one lunch at a time.To your Health-Jen S.
