INDULGENCE ALERT! December holds so many relentless temptations; sugary cocktails, heavenly mince pies, calorific festive dinners, and all the other trimmings. Whilst the FitnessOnToast ethos encourages regular engagement with your ‘cheat treat’, it certainly doesn’t condone the tragicomic 7,000 calories that the average Brit will eat on christmas day! So for now, here’s my latest tasty recipe to help you stay on track with your fitness goals this December; Healthy Festive Pancakes! The ingredients are all natural, the taste is naturally (and modestly) sweetened, the texture is somewhere between regular and American pancakes (filling and thick, yet light and fluffy, with a deliciously full flavour). The result crushes future urges and/or temptations! Click MORE to get the ‘How To’…
These pancakes consist of six natural ingredients – banana (which lends the creamy consistency, is a natural mood-enhancer, & affords plenty of potassium), peanut butter (a great source of healthy fats, mainly Mono & Polyunsaturates, with a good amount of protein circa 2 tbps = 7 grams of protein), cinnamon (only a small amount required, offering such rich festive flavour & contains manganese, iron, calcium, and fibre), eggs (high in protein – 13g protein per 100g), almond milk and rice flour. They’re super quick-and-easy to make and they’re gluten free. Each regular-sized pancake weighs in at just under 190 good calories.
