Low Carb Pancakes:
One of the simplest changes that yields the biggest results for many of our clients starts with the first meal of the day. Swapping out high carb/low fat favorites such as bagels and cereals with foods that are rich in protein and fat set the tone for a steady day. On a weekday that might involve eggs, avocados, or a coconut milk based chia pudding. When you have a little more time to spare, I highly recommend diving into this pancake recipe that will satisfy your craving for comfort food without the side effects of the typical sugar laden treat. Enjoy!

1 cup almond flour
1/4 cup coconut flour

2-3 tbsp allulose (or sweetener of choice, this measure 1:1 with real sugar to give you an estimate)
1/4 tsp sea salt
