Happy Pancake Day!!! How can you not love a day to celebrate one of the most popular breakfast foods ever?
In our house pancakes could be a food group. If you asked Al, she would vigorously defend it’s position in the food pyramid (wait, is that still a thing?) I think I’m showing my age with that reference.
ANYHOW…we make pancakes on the regular and while we’re creatures of habit in a lot of ways, Al’s more adventurous and has challenged us to think bigger when it comes to her beloved food.
It’s funny because I’m not one to do a lot of sponsored posts but when Krusteaz reached out and offered to send us some pancake mix, I felt like for the sake of my family, I couldn’t turn it down. It’s perfect for a family like ours. You just add water and make!
Krusteaz’s new Buttermilk Protein Pancake Mix is packed with 15 grams of protein per serving. In addition, the mix provides a full better-for-you nutrition profile including:
- 4 grams of fiber
- Made from 100% whole grain flour
- Contains no artificial flavors, colors or preservatives.
I made Al some pancakes with Krusteaz and even beefed them up with some chocolate chips. Because that’s how we roll around here. I think you can tell that she liked them.
Yes, that’s two man sized pancaked..devoured by that little half pint. She felt like a little whipped creme would only accentuate the pancakes satisfying flavor so we thought..why not!
All in all, we really enjoyed Krusteaz and will be making it a regular grocery store staple. Would I recommend it? Yes! Pancakes are a no brainer for kids so being able to pack a little more protein in there and whole wheat flour feels good as a parent!
So let’s raise our plates and celebrate the best day of the year!!
Happy Pancake Day!
The food pyramid! It’s burned into my brain. Hilarious now looking back on it that “fats, sweets, etc.” was a the top like it had to be part of your daily intake, albeit a small part. I’m excited to try this new protein pancake mix, thanks for sharing!
