Pink Banana Oat Pancakes with Maple Cacao Drizzle

February 13, 2023 By julia

Que the Jack Johnson and bring on Sunday morning! ….And with Valentine’s Day in our midst, then you’re in luck, because we’re flauntin’ the pink today with these banana oat pancakes!

These pancakes are so simple, it’s stupid.

Too easy not to make and packed with whole-food ingredients.

Here for it!

Top it off with a cacao maple drizzle, serve it to your Valentine, and be ready for a proposal.

It’s all about tha base bout’ tha base (que song here).

I’m talking about just 3 ingredients: ripe bananas + oat flour + plant milk.

Vanilla and cinnamon are always a must when I’m whipping up some flapjacks, so we’ll throw some of that in there, too.

Once you have that blended up, feel free to get creative.

Today, I went with beet powder + vegan chocolate chips!

Maybe tomorrow calls for antioxidant boosters, turmeric + blueberries (bonus recipe below).

The next day… Cacao powder + raisins? Maca powder + strawberries?

Whatever that creator within you comes up with, your pancake will no doubt be delicious and ready before Jack finishes off his guitar solo.

But really, all mushrooms are magical. The benefit But really, all mushrooms are magical. The benefits are endless.

Read on to learn about the world’s first ever mushroom strip 🤯🙌

I’ve been a big fan of this company from the very beginning and even helped out during its startup. Functional mushrooms grown just down the road from me in beautiful Pemberton BC, created by a friend of mine.

I love everything Stay Wyld makes, but these pocket strips are the most convenient and fun way to take your mushrooms on the go.

Have you tried them yet?

So what’s actually in these sugar free pocket strips?

🧠 Energy LST Strip
Lion’s Mane, B12, L-Theanine, and green tea.

💪 Immunity LST Strip
2800mg of 7 functional mushrooms + vitamins, all in one little strip:
🍄 Lion’s Mane — brain power
🍄 Chaga — cellular defence (antioxidant powerhouse)
🍄 Cordyceps — energy & resilience & blood flow
🍄 Turkey Tail — gut + immunity
🍄 Maitake — metabolic support
🍄 Reishi — stress & immune balance
🍄 Shiitake — immune-active compounds

We’re still floating from the Plants. Dance. Love. We’re still floating from the Plants. Dance. Love. Retreat ✨ 
It was everything we dreamed it would be and then some.

We danced kitchen, in the sunshine and in the rain.
We ocean dipped.
We got playfully curious about ourselves.
We learned to trust our intuition.
We supported eachother.
We laughed.
We devoured insanely delicious whole plant foods.
We experienced breath work & a sound bath. 

👟🌱Everyone learned the foundations of plant-based eating and shuffle dancing, all in the name of reigniting their internal spark and bringing home simple ways to pump the lymphatic system and add more plants into their own day-to-day lives. 👟🌱

And the women!! 💗

…Thank you for sharing your stories, for allowing yourselves to be supported, for saying yes to you and your own joy. 

The energy we curated for the weekend truly allowed everyone to feel safe and be exactly who they are.

We’re already dreaming up the next one. 🌱

🙏Endless gratitude to the local businesses who filled our goodie bags with so much goodness:
@staywyldorganics functional mushrooms
@glowchocolates and glitter tattoos

🌱Menu highlights:
Hand-rolled sushi we made together, build-your-own berry parfait bar, layered raw dessert creation, vibrant Buddha bowls, ceremonial cacao, and a plant-based sharing board to send us off.

✨Itinerary flow: 
Arrive + land. Cacao + opening circle. Shuffle workshops each day in the garden and beach. Culinary sessions in the kitchen together. Breathwork + sound healing. Human Design + self-love. Guided journaling + ocean dip. Integration + closing circle with cacao.
