I was thinking this week about how powerful habits are when
it comes to health. Of course we all
have habits, both healthy and unhealthy, that are already part of our
routine. But wouldn’t it be great to be
able to harness the power of habits IN ORDER to make health and personal
wellness feel (imagine this) easy?
Habits are hard to make, that’s for sure! But, what’s really interesting is that
they’re equally hard to break for good once they’re established. What does this
mean for us? It means that, if we can
get through the hard part of creating a pattern, we’re going to be able to keep
those habits without too much effort on our part.
In the meantime, I wanted to share with you the best pancakes I've had in years. They are plant based whole food. And part of my upcoming PURE program I will be announcing soon. Try them and let me know what you think
In my training as a Culinary Nutrition Expert at the Academy of Culinary Nutrition I learned so many wonderful whole food, plant based recipes. This one was easy and one of my favorites because I truly loved oatmeal, bananas and pancakes. I am always looking for recipes that did not use processed flour or any flour at all. I would also use this recipe to make waffles.
