Nutrition Spotlight

These pancakes are made with wholegrain cereals (wholewheat flour, oats) and seeds (flaxseed) which significantly add to the daily intake of fiber and promote gut health. Flaxseed is one of the few plant-based foods that is rich in omega-3 (n-3) fatty acids, commonly found in fatty fish. Just one serving of these pancakes fully covers our daily needs in omega-3 fatty acids (1.664g – 114%) and also contains 26% (0.084g) of our daily needs in tryptophan, the amino-acid needed for the production of serotonin, the substance that boosts our good mood.

Not only they look and taste good but they are also a comfort food, scientifically proven!
