Flaxseed Pancakes

FLAXSEEDS ARE LOADED WITH NUTRIENTS AND ARE SURPRISINGLY YUMMY AS PANCAKES!

They contain a high amount of Omega-3 fats which are great for reducing acne and they contain a high amount of lignans. Lignans have anti-estrogenic properties that mimic estrogen and bind to estrogen receptors. This can help old synthetic estrogen from hormonal birth control to be pushed off receptors and cleared out of your body, therefore, helping to rebalance your natural hormonal profile.

Tip: Buy flax seeds whole and blend them into a fine meal just before cooking. This will guarantee that all the essential fats and nutrients are obtained in the meal and not lost in the processing.
