DON'T HAVE TO RELY ON JUST GRAB-
AND-GO METHODS OF GETTING THE
DAY STARTED.
DAY STARTED. NUTRITION COACH LAUREN CHAMBERS
SHOWED US A DELICIOUS BREAKFAST
RECIPE THAT IS CHALK FULL OF
GOOD STUFF.
GOOD STUFF. >> THESE ARE CINNAMON BANANA
BLENDER PANCAKES.
BLENDER PANCAKES. WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THIS OPTION,
I'M GOING TO WALK YOU THROUGH
HOW TO MAKE IT.
BUT FIRST A FEW THINGS.
ONE, THEY TASTE DELICIOUS,
WHICH IS IMPORTANT.
TWO WE'RE GOING TO BLEND IT UP
IN A BLENDER.
AND IT IS SIMILAR TO A SMOOTHIE
AND THE WAY THAT YOU COULD
TACKLE IT AND ADD IN A BUNCH OF
NUTRIENTS.
NUTRIENTS. AND YOU DON'T TASTE THEM, YOU
DON'T HAVE THE TEXTURE BECAUSE
YOU'RE BLENDING THEM ABOUT
SNEAKING IN VEGETABLES, EATERS,
YOU CAN SEE SECRET FOODS OR
BLOOD SUGAR BALANCE
INGREDIENTS, JUST INGREDIENTS
THAT ARE REALLY GOING TO MAKE
YOU FEEL GOOD AND LOOK YOUR
BEST TOO.
BEST TOO.
BEST TOO. AND SO WE CANNOT HAVE YOUR
PANCAKES AND ONE TWO.
LASTLY BECAUSE IT IS IN A
BATTER, IT'S WARM.
THIS HOLDS UP WELL FOR A WEEK
IN THE FRIDGE.
AND SO I KNOW WE MIGHT HAVE A
BIT MORE TIME, BUT WE MIGHT
STILL BE, WE'RE KIDS, AND SO
THE GREAT THING ABOUT THIS
OPTION, YOU CAN SORT IT IN THE
FRIDGE AND UP TO A WEEK.
AND THEN TAKE IT OUT AND MAKE
THE PANCAKES, FIVE MINUTES,
WHENEVER YOU NEED.
IT'S READY.
IT'S READY. SO LET'S WALK YOU THROUGH STEP
BY STEP ON THESE.
SO FIRST I HAVE A CUP AND
ANOTHER THREE QUARTS CUP OF
OATS IN MY BLENDER.
BECAUSE THEY ARE WHOLE OATS,
I'M GOING TO BLEND THEM TO MAKE
IT A FLOWER.
AND ALMOND FLOUR, COCONUT
FLOUR,BUCKWHEATS, ANOTHER GREAT
OPTION.
OPTION.
OPTION. I
OPTION. I LOVE OATS BECAUSE THEY'RE
FIBER RICH AND ALSO CONTAIN
NUTRIENTS, WHICH HELPS BALANCE
BLOOD SUGAR AND REALLY MAKES
YOU FEEL FULL AND CUCUMBER
LEVELS.
LEVELS.
LEVELS. FIRST I'M GOING TO USE THIS UP.
IT DOESN'T TAKE LONG.
AND A BLENDER SHOULD WORK.
SO NOW I'VE GOT MY BASE, THE
OAT FLOUR.
OAT FLOUR. AND NEXT I'M GOING TO ADD IN A
QUARTER CUP OF FLAXSEED.
I LIKE TO ADD THIS IN BECAUSE
IT IS ALSO VERY FIBER RICH AND
GREAT FOR DIGESTION, BALANCE OF
BLOOD SUGAR, FOR KEEPING YOU
FULL LONGER, SO YOU DON'T COME
BACK AND CRASH.
AND THEN A TEASPOON OF
CINNAMON.
CINNAMON.
CINNAMON. SAME CONCEPT, IT'S GOING TO
HELP YOU BALANCE THE BLOOD
SUGAR.
SUGAR.
SUGAR. AND A TEASPOON AND A HALF OF
BAKING POWDER, WHICH IS JUST
GOING TO HELP WITH THE FLUFFY
TEXTURE OF THE PANCAKES.
A FOURTH OF A TEASPOON OF SEA
SALT.
SALT.
SALT. AND
SALT. AND A TEASPOON OF VANILLA
EXTRACT TO ADJUST THAT LITTLE
SWEET TASTE.
SWEET TASTE. AND THEN A TABLESPOON OF MAPLE
SYRUP.
SYRUP.
SYRUP. YOU CAN ALSO DO HONEY.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS, YOU
CAN LEAVE IT OUT, BUT IT'S
GOING TO ADD THAT NATURALLY
SWEET TASTE.
SWEET TASTE. AND THEN THIS IS ALSO OPTIONAL,
BUT I LIKE TO ADD IN COLLAGEN
PROTEIN POWDER.
PROTEIN POWDER. SO I'M ADDING IN A SERVING OF
THAT.
THAT.
THAT. THAT'S GREAT TO ADD AN
ADDITIONAL BOOST OF PROTEIN.
THAT COMBINATION OF PROTEIN,
FAT, FIBER, WHICH YOU'RE GOING
TO SEE HERE WITH THE REMAINING
BATTER OF PANCAKES.
IT'S REALLY WHAT'S GOING TO
KEEP YOU FEELING FULL LONGER
AND KEEP YOUR ENERGY STABLE.
SO AGAIN, YOU'RE NOT CRASHING.
IMPORTANT TO HAVE ESPECIALLY
BREAKFAST WHEN WE WANT TO HAVE
THAT ENERGY ALL DAY LONG.
OKAY, SO LET'S SEE, NEXT I'VE
GOT A BANANA, THIS ADDS MORE
FLAVOR.
FLAVOR.
FLAVOR. AND I PEELED IT.
AND THEN SPINACH.
THIS IS ANOTHER GREAT ADD.
IT'S KIND OF LIKE A SMOOTHIE.
YOU CAN SEE THE VEGGIES.
AND THEN IT IS KIND OF LIKE A
SMOOTHIE.
SMOOTHIE.
SMOOTHIE. YOU'RE GOING TO GET THIS
SMOOTHIE AND VEGGIES FIRST
THING IN THE MORNING, WHICH
AGAIN, IT'S ESPECIALLY AWESOME
FOR PICKY EATERS OR IF YOU HAVE
KIDS.
KIDS.
KIDS. I
KIDS. I KNOW THAT IT SOUNDS WEIRD,
BUT WE ALSO DO CAULIFLOWER
RICE.
RICE.
RICE. AND
RICE. AND I SWEAR YOU DON'T TASTE IT,
AND IT REALLY DOESN'T CHANGE
THE TEXTURE.
THE TEXTURE. JUST ANOTHER WAY TO SNEAK IN
THOSE VEGGIES.
THOSE VEGGIES. AND THEN WE HAVE A CUP AND
ANOTHER QUARTER CUP OF NON-
DAIRY MILK.
DAIRY MILK. SO I'M USING CASHEW MILK.
BUT YOU COULD USE COCONUT MILK,
ALMOND MILK, ANY CLEAN
UNSWEETENED MILK OF CHOICE.
AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO BLEND
IT, NOT TOO LONG.
IT LOOKS A LOT LIKE A SMOOTHIE.
AND IT HAS THAT NICE EVEN
BLENDED TEXTURE.
BLENDED TEXTURE. I'M GOING TO GET IN THERE WITH
A SPATULA TO MAKE SURE
EVERYTHING GETS EVENLY MIXED.
YOU DON'T WANT TO OVERBLEND
THIS, JUST MIXED, SO TH BATTER
STAYS NICE AND FLUFFY.
NEXT I HAVE TWO EGGS.
SO WE WANT TO ADD THESE IN
LAST.
LAST.
LAST. BECAUSE WE REALLY DON'T WANT TO
OVERMIX THE EGGS.
AND THAT WILL HELP KEEP THE
BATTER FLUFFY AND NICE.
SO
SO THAT'S
SO THAT'S OUR BATTER. I LIKE TO STIR IT IN A GLASS
JAR IN THE FRIDGE AND IT LASTS
FOR A FEW WEEKS.
IT LOOKS LIKE A SMOOTHIE.
AND THEN I HAVE A TABLESPOON OF
GRASS FED GEE THAT I'M COOKING
IN HERE.
IN HERE.
IN HERE. BUT YOU CAN USE COCONUT OIL,
ANOTHER GREAT ONE.
AND THIS IS GOING TO ADD IN A
LITTLE BIT OF A HEALTHY FAT TO
HELP KEEP YOUR HUNGER LEVELS.
WHEN IT IS FLUFFY AND BUBBLY,
THEN I WILL KNOW TO FLIP IT.
SO IT SHOULD LOOK LIKE THIS.
>> THAT LOOKS
