Always just porridge is too boring for you? How about ayurvedic pancakes?
According to Ayurveda, breakfast is an important meal that can boost or slow down your metabolism and contribute to your overall well-being. Maybe you've eaten a warm and light breakfast, like porridge, for a long period of time and then noticed what cold foods, other foods, and even food combinations do to your metabolism and energy in the morning. So how about Ayurvedic pancakes as an alternative to your current breakfast or porridge?
Without flour and sugar, but with lots of fiber and healthy fats & nutrients, they can give you that valuable energy boost in the morning without you falling into an energy slump shortly after. Give them a try!
