Spring forward with fresh, energizing foods !

These power pancakes are packed with nutrients . Buckwheat is a good-quality source of protein, very high in manganese & vitamins B & E; it also provides calcium. As well, buckwheat contains high amounts of tryptophan. Having adequate amounts of tryptophan in your diet is important to help enhance your mood & mental clarity .

I seriously get a buzz off of this latte! This happens because the MTC coconut oil helps transport the fat soluble curcumin ( the active ingredient in turmeric) into your cells & gives your brain a little lift.

Buckwheat pancakes:
