Just another foodie Wednesday!

    You guys, I am OBSESSED with pancakes as of late! So I am going to share my recipe with you guys! 

 

 

1/3 cup pancake mix (I use Birch Benders keto pancake mix!)

1/2 TBS of baking powder

1/2 TBS powdered peanut butter

1/2 TBS of raw unsweetened cocoa powder

An unmeasured splash of pure vanilla extract

A few sprinkles of cinnamon

1/4 cup of water! (add slowly until you get your preferred consistency!) 

 

    Let the batter sit for a few minutes while the baking powder works it’s puffy, beautiful magic! 

 

    Then pancake those babies on a nonstick, sprayed pan and enjoy the hell out of them! Because they’re BOMB! 

 

    
I topped mine with sugar free syrup. A smidgen of I can’t believe it’s not butter and a little sugar free whip cream. Literally hopes and dreams! 

Pre wet ingredients

Mixed up!

Ready!

    When I tell you guys that I am a total foodie, I wasn't kidding with you! I used to DEPEND on food to make me FEEL. Feel absolutely anything except the pain that I was actually feeling. I was trapped inside a body that felt like it only could survive by eating everything and anything that I wanted. 

    When in reality I was killing myself with food and unnecessary overly processed things. I was avoiding my own feelings and mental health. Food is absolutely a drug. I was addicted to the way it made me feel. 

    Now, a year and some change later, I still LOVE food. But in a natural and healthy way! I am obsessed with finding ways to make things better for myself and others! Food doesn't control me! I don't live to eat, I eat to survive! 

    I feel so free now! No longer chained by the binds of unhealthy foods.

    By changing my diet it helped me change my mindset. By changing my mindset, I changed my outlook. When I changed my outlook, EVERYTHING CHANGED! 

    I still have anxiety, I still get depressed, I still have episodes of chaos. I'm still who I have always been, I'm just a HEALTHIER, BETTER version of myself. 

    Small changes equal HUGE overall changes. They add up! Don't quit, don't belittle your successes! Celebrate them! 

XOXO

 Here's a picture of me because I got ready for the first time in God knows when and I thought, what the hell!?
