HMMM.. YES PLEASE, WITH A DOLLOP OF SKIN SUPPORTING NUTRIENTS
It's that time of year when we start to wind down summer and mentally prepare to get the kiddo ready for heading back to school next week. TBH I keep it pretty low key. We’ve never been back to school shopping. I always make sure I’ve got new stuff through out the year that he can wear on the first days transitioning out of summer into fall that are “new”for him at that time. This way we can enjoy our summer to the fullest to the very end with out that stressful list of must haves.
These double chocolate waffles inspired by Meghan Telpners' "Chocolate Chocolate Say it Twice Pancakes" in her #undietcookbook are #glutenfree and #dairyfree, and can be made #eggfree making them #vegan if needed. Enjoyed here with almond butter syrup- DREAMY like salted caramel if we are talking truth about the flavour. We added coconut whip cream, bananas and extra chocolate. Decadent yes, and also full of health supportive ingredients. This is just one summer special request that we’ve made time for this year.
