Blueberry pancakes... so YUMMY and soooo good for you. Blueberries are coming back into season and are a favorite warmer weather treat of mine! They have so many health benefits and are full of vitamin C, manganese and fiber. They also have antioxidant effects which help detoxify your body and protect you from disease. Blueberries have been linked in research to show positive effects on reducing the age related physical and mental declines. All of these wonderful benefits for only 80 calories/cup! If this makes you crave blueberries, remember to buy organic... there are even more nutrients in organically grown produce and minimal to no pesticides or preservatives!
Emmerson really enjoyed her first fresh blueberries of the season. Last weekend I made her pancakes with some whole grain pancake mix I found at Trader Joe's. It is delicious and a much healthier version to buttermilk options or Bisquick. It is packed with fiber and protein, is low fat and very heart healthy!
Emmerson found out the hard way that the whole pancake wouldn't fit in her mouth at once... Once she got a taste, she thought they were finger-lickin good!
So excited about filling her tummy with healthy food!
Being nice and sharing.... but not looking happy about it.
All done and a very happy little blueberry-faced girl!!!(side note: it took me a week to work the stains out of that shirt!)
