Breakfast | Oatmeal Pancakes

It finally feels like spring! All the annual flowers have begun to bloom & my tulips are looking great! I've been feeling like I should get back on my healthy kick, so I decided to start off the day with a different view on oatmeal. Don't get me wrong, sometimes I do like to have some oatmeal for breakfast, but having the same thing everyday can quickly get to me. So last night I searched for the healthiest oatmeal pancakes. So this morning I decided to take over the kitchen...

Obsessing over my tulips :)

I know this is a very odd angle but... it works!

Oatmeal Pancakes: Yields about 8 small pancakes

1 cup of oats

1 cup of coconut flower

1/4 of a cup of bisquick 

1 1/2 of Original Soy Milk

1 large egg

1 tbsp of vanilla extract

1 tbsp of raw brown sugar

& a dash of cinnamon

Aside from loading my pancakes with fruit I drizzled a bit of organic maple syrup on them! 

Enjoy!

Breakfast | Tropical Smoothie Bowl

There is nowhere else I'd rather be than to be somewhere tropical right now. This morning I woke up to go to school and it was hailing. Ridiculous. Although it's cold I still wanted a smoothie bowl, which did leave me shaking from the cold for a while. 

This is such a quick thing to do, and it's so filling. At least for me it is. 

I used 1 1/2 cups of a frozen tropical mix. It has peaches, mangoes, pineapple, grapes & strawberries. Which is what gives the smoothie that pretty pink color.

I added a teaspoon of raw maca powder & about a cup of water to blend. 

I chopped up half a mango & half a banana, and then added a tablespoon of chia seeds. 

Enjoy!
