My Pancake Party Fab Four Smoothie gives Saturday morning banana pancake vibes…any day of the week!
Quick and easy to blend up, this fiber-rich and filling smoothie is a hit for the whole family.
While a stack of pancakes might sound like a great way for you (or your child) to start the day, it doesn’t set you up for blood sugar success. It will offer a quick hit of energy (spike!) followed by a crash. And crashes leave you craving, tired, struggling to focus and moody.
This is why I love the Fab Four smoothie. It offers a similar taste and subtle sweetness without the spike or crash. Instead, it delivers blood sugar balance which leave you feeling full, calm, energized and satisfied for hours.
Let’s talk about how I use the Fab Four to blunt the blood sugar spike that would otherwise happen when eating some banana (a higher sugar fruit). Healthy fats in the nut butter + fiber from psyllium husk + protein from my Be Well by Kelly protein powder combine to slow down digestion and elongate the blood sugar curve. Instead of a steep spike, we get more of a rolling hill. That’s the magic of the Fab Four!
For the days you absolutely won’t do without the real deal stack, check out these high-protein pancake recipes:
