Diet Style Pancake Recipe
According to the latest Slimming World handbook that you use to record your weight, on Page 71 cooked banana is listed as 4 Syn per 100g of banana. I’ve just weighed my average sized banana and it is 170g. Slimming World say that pureed and cooked fruit loses its filling power and becomes easy to over consume hence the Syns for a tweak. I headed to my local Lidl to buy the ingredients I needed for this recipe.
I was excited to try out this store as it just opened a few days ago and I wanted to check out their prices and what products they had! For this recipe we are going to buy fruit and eggs (because it is a Slimming World friendly recipe) so I picked up some ingredients. I had this for breakfast with some Greek style low fat natural yogurt (1 Syn for 100g) and some fresh berries (Free food). Do you know any other diet friendly toppings that I could try, My husband would probably have these pancakes with jam. Leave me a comment and let me know how you have yours,
It fills my family up until lunch time on school days. 1. Whole wheat pita filled with scrambled eggs and cheese, add diced veggies in the eggs if the kids will eat it, and strawberries on the side. 2. Breakfast Burritos- Whole grain tortillas filled with scrambled eggs, leftover sausage from the day before, salsa, avocado, low-fat cheese, you name it, stick it in there.
Find out what they your family loves. Be creative, use shrimp, leftover diced potatoes, etc., plus watermelon on the side. You can make a double batch and stick the extras in the freezer, then on another day just pop them in the toaster for a quick breakfast! 5. Greek yogurt is amazing because it is full of protein, it is great for breakfast with fruit, and half and of a whole wheat English muffin.
2. Smoothies, you can do all kinds of things with smoothies. Now these don't seem to keep my kids full as long, so you will have to see how it works for your family. Start with ice, a scoop of whey protein powder, yogurt, fruit like bananas, strawberries, pineapple, etc (yah, just throw what you have in there!), sweeten with a tad bit of stevia, and blend!
As you can tell I like to use Stevia to sweeten instead of sugar or artificial sugar. You can find Stevia anywhere now! Trader Joes, health food stores, grocery stores. Stevia is all natural, has no calories, and doesn't affect your blood sugar level. Shop at a store such as Sam's Club or Costco for most items.
Watch store circular ads for their rock bottom sale prices, buy those items in large quantities while they are at the lowest price. Shop health stores (such as Sprouts) that have big bins of grocery stapes that you scoop yourself, items like whole wheat flour, oats, sea salt, beans, brown rice, etc. The prices are much lower in bulk bins. To save money on produce hit up Farmer's Markets or Fruit Stands, prices are about a third of what you would pay in a normal store.
Make your own home-made muffins or scones using whole grains and natural sweeteners instead of white flour and sugar, store in freezer. Pull out for breakfast or after school snacks! I hope you enjoyed the Five Healthy Breakfast Menus and it inspires you to try some new menus for your family. If you plan ahead a bit you will be prepared to whip out breakfast in the morning in 15 minutes or less. You can do it! You are busy, but you can have a nice family breakfast in the morning.
It's great to pull the family together in the morning for a nice breakfast, it doesn't need to be elaborate or fancy, but nutritious and fun! Send your kids off to school, or off to play after a warm loving breakfast (well, minus the sibling fighting, and the part about "hurry up so you won't be late for school".
