Delicious and healthy for breakfast or any time

We usually feature drink recipes in this section but here’s a great recipe from Sarah, the Healthy Home Economist that gives you another way to make Syfo a healthy part of your diet. Sarah has been kind enough to mention Syfo several times, and here’s her recipe for almond flour pancakes that’s both healthy and delicious:

Almond Flour Pancakes
2 cups finely ground almond flour
2 Tbl honey or 5 drops liquid stevia
4 Tbl expeller pressed coconut oil, softened
Splash of vanilla extract
1/2 tsp sea salt (I used Redmond Real Salt)
1/2 cup seltzer water (I use Syfo seltzer in small, clear glass bottles)
4 eggs

Sarah has lots of great information on her blog and you can read the entire recipe posting here. Also, check out her recipe for healthy homemade soda using Syfo. For children it’s a healthy alternative to sugary soda.
