Mother’s Day is Sunday. Surprise Mom and make her breakfast in bed. You can do it! We’ll make it easy. First, go get Dad, wake him up and let Mom sleep. THIS will be her favorite gift, besides YOU! Now, quietly go in to the kitchen and prepare her a yummy, healthy breakfast…

WHOLE GRAIN BANANA-STRAWBERRY PANCAKES:

Ingredients:

2/3 cup organic spelt flour or

1/2 cup organic apple sauce (instead of egg)

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Pinch of himalayan sea salt

2 teaspoons of light agave nectar

1 organic banana

1 cup sliced organic strawberries

3/4 cup organic milk

2 teaspoons of organic coconut oil (I melt in a little saucepan first) – add this last because you don’t want it to get hard before you start mixing

You can mix it all together with a fork – make sure to get as much as possible on yourself, the counters and the floors! That’s fun right???

If there is any batter left in the bowl, you can add the banana and the berries to it!

Put a little coconut oil in skillet and make up your pancakes. When Mom’s batch is done, you can make YOUR batch with a few organic chocolate chips! C’mon she wouldn’t be celebrating if it weren’t for you, you deserve a special treat today!!!

VENUS QUICK TIP: Buy Organic boxed whole-grain pancake mix at the health food store and follow the directions on the box!

VIB SAFETY NOTE: Make sure Dad has a giant mug of coffee, next get his attention, PLEASE have him do the actual cooking.

VIB EXTRA KISSES: To get even more kisses from Mom – take a heart shaped cookie cutter and make her heart shaped pancakes!

While Dad’s at the skillet go write out your card, don’t forget the card, after you THAT will really be her favorite part!

You did it! You are THE BEST little chef and Mom will be telling all her friends how you made her breakfast!

Yes, that’s my little chef in the top photo! Wonder what he’ll be making me…
