The Breakfast of True Champions

Guten Morgen! (That's German for "good morning," for those of you who don't know)
This morning I diced up five large strawberries into small cubes. 

Sean's pork bacon

The ingredients used for the pancakes: Almond milk, multi-grain pancake mix, and sugar free syrup.


Diced strawberries

About to get mixed in.

I added a banana, and then began to cook them.

Deliciousness in the making. 

Turkey bacon for me and Vanessa

These were quite possibly the best pancakes I have ever had. I can't believe they're good for you!

Incredible way to start my day!

Remember, breakfast is important. Something I am really learning by doing this two-week cleanse is that there are a lot of empty calories. Sugar free syrup has 80% fewer calories than regular syrup. Whole grain pancakes have fiber, protein, potassium and other vitamins and nutrients that you would never find in a plain ol' buttermilk pancake. The banana and strawberries added sweetness to the moist batter. Seriously, this breakfast was healthy and delicious. YUM! :)
