A favorite paleo breakfast of mine: delicious fiber pancakes. It’s recommended that we get 20-35 grams of dietary fiber a day, according to nutritionists. Coconut, an ideal paleo food, is actually a GREAT source of fiber. In fact, some people take it as a dietary supplement just for that reason! It actually contains FOUR times as much fiber as oat bran and TWICE as much fiber as wheat bran or flaxseed meal. Best of all, it tastes good!
This pancakes recipe provides your fiber fix and allows you to enjoy breakfast so you start your day off right. Stay regular (you all know what I mean) without having to take additional supplements. Getting as much of our nutrition as we can through the foods we eat is ideal. Although this isn’t the easiest to do it’s better to try our best than not try at all.
