So you know what you’re having for breakfast this Sunday ✓

This idea just came to me when I was laying in bed on a Sunday wondering what to eat. I have to have pancakes at least once a week so I was definitely feeling like some pancakes were going to be made. The stunning jar of Loving Earth Acai powder just keep popping into my head. How can I combine them… I wanted to keep the nutritional content as high in the Acai powder as possible so I didn’t want to cook it, plus I was curious to see how it would go in something other than a smoothie. Lightbulb, incorporate it into my array of toppings! Andy that’s how this combo was born.

The creamy acai, coconut topping pairs perfectly with the chocolate and you are nourishing all the cells in your body! Win win.

The quality of all of Loving Earths ingredients really shine through and this chocolate leaves me speechless every mouthful. Especially, when I placed a piece in-between each pancake, I died and went to heaven. And the best thing about it, you leave the table feeling energised, satisfied and light. Not at all like you would feel it these ingredients were processed and filled with nasty stuff.

You know how the first pancake always is a little bit rubbery and sad? Well my trick it to get the pan heating on low while you are mixing everything and then by the time you cook it, the heat is perfect. Yay, now all the pancakes are of equal fluffiness ! (But seriously, it has changed my pancake life….)

I don’t like to add any actual sweetener to the pancake mix because I find the toppings to be sweet enough, a neutral base takes on the sweetness and helps balance the flavours. But if you feel like it needs something add in a ripe banana or a teaspoon of your preferred sweetener ❤
