This is my favourite way to incorporate more greens and omega 3’s in my family. I love recipes like this that all go into one vessel (especially a blender!). Anything that makes for an easy clean up!!

This is another recipe where you can play around with it to make it your own. If you prefer the pancakes slightly less sweet, feel free to omit the dates.

If you make this with some substitutions please let me know in the comments how they turn out!
