Breakfast, A Smart Start

 

 

Wheat Blender Pancakes

These days we want to buy wheat as pure as possible, that isn't grown with so much of chemicals.  To me, it is the chemicals that are harming our digestive system. You will find that there are several companies growing very decent wheat as you search for them online. 

 

At going costs, these healthy pancakes are just a few pennies each: that speaks to my frugal heart.

Can even use these cold leftover pancakes for bread to make a sandwich...try with peanut butter/jam.

 

Put in blender, let sit 24 hours (this is optional, but easy and takes very little planning ahead). Note: by soaking this for 24 hours, it will soften the wheat for a smoother batter, but you can skip this step and just blend the wheat/water without soaking (if doing it this faster way, blend 20 seconds, let rest a bit; repeat this process several times until the batter is smooth to your liking).

1 c. dry wheat
1 and 1/4 c. water
Blend mixture for up to 1 minute, until smooth.

Add and blend again until smooth:
2 large eggs 
3 T. dry milk powder
1 T. cooking oil or softened butter
1 tsp. sea salt

Scrape blended mixture into a large mixing bowl. Add and stir in by hand using a wire whip until combined: 1 scant T. baking powder (I like Rumford's baking powder best.)  Cook pancakes on medium heat in a bit of oil. Makes 12 delicious healthy pancakes.

 

 

A few important thoughts on WHEAT........
Wheat is king of the whole grains and sure gets a bad rap these days. Yes, there are people who are truly allergic and sensitive to the grain, but many think they are because they ate it and got a sick tummy and/or diarrhea from eating too much at once. Or they bought wheat that was grown with chemicals.

**ALL fiber foods must be taken in small amounts in order to help the body adjust to the increased fiber. I'm talking a few spoonfuls per day at first or one slice of whole wheat/whole grain bread, or a small serving of fruits or veggies if not used to eating them. But because our society is inundated with refined foods, we are not aware of these helpful hints and our bodies are not tuned to the foods/fiber they
were meant to have.

 

 

Start using wheat slowly....WHY?

Wheat contains insoluble fibers that sweep intestines like a broom. These fibers help speed up the stool throughthe bowel. They also help exert less pressure on the bowel walls. Fiber helps make it less likely for any cancer-causing toxins to have prolonged contact with the bowel, thus being absorbed
