Daily Fit Tip: Make healthier pancakes

Pancakes are a breakfast "staple" food that most of us try to avoid because they are usually full of nothing but sugar, fat, and carbs. But if you're not afraid to do a little experimenting, finding a healthier pancake recipe that still satisfies the 'comfort food' factor and tastes good is not that hard. The good thing about pancakes is that their basic formula leaves a lot of room to substitute ingredients and add things in to make them a smarter option.

Tips for a healthier pancake
:
  • Substitute whole wheat flour for white flour for a fiber boost.
  • Add in fresh blueberries, pumpkin, or grated apples for valuable antioxidants.
  • Use less sugar and add in some sweet-tasting spices like vanilla, cinnamon, and/or nutmeg
  • Top with fresh fruit, yogurt, or jam instead of syrup.

Some tasty ways to get flaxseed into your diet

If you haven't heard about the benefits of flaxseed yet, where have you been hiding? The superfood is full of fiber, can lower cholesterol as well as reduce the risk of heart disease, may protect again breast cancer and contains tonnes of Omega-3 fatty acids. So if you haven't added it to your diet, now is as good a time as any.

Many people choose to grind the seed, which can be found at most local grocery and health food stores, in a coffee bean grinder and then sprinkle it into yogurt, cereal or even pasta sauce. If you'd like a few new ideas, take a look at the three tasty recipes listed here.

You can treat yourself to a Raspberry Smoothie, try a delectable Banana Chocolate Chip Muffin or whip up some Flaxseed and Blueberry Pancakes, which include another superfood (blueberries) as a main ingredient. Having taken a look at the recipes, I'm already craving one of the Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins.
