Greencakes

My sister tends to be my health coach these days,

reminding me to drink my water, eat my protein, meeting me in the early morning hours for a good run,

you know, all those things we tend to let slip through the cracks first when we're busy being supermom…

But recently she introduced me to a healthy breakfast option she created all on her own,

we named them ourselves,

Super Greencakes 

"Super" for the super foods they include, "green" for how they appear (consider yourself warned…) and "cakes"because they are "pancake-esque"…

So she invited me the other morning, we stuck the kids outside with a running hose 

and she fixed me some...

she's always taking care of me...

And with a gluten-free, dairy-free superfood packed easy breakfast like this?

I'll let her.

Oh,

And she looks cute doing it.
