Happy Labor Day weekend everyone! I hope everyone’s doing something fun or at least take a relaxing break from work š I’m doing a little bit of both,Ā definitely heavy on the relaxing side of things and I couldn’t be happier about it. Ā Work has been keeping me busy, so I’m taking some time this weekend to be lazy, get in some good workouts and make food! Ā That makes sense right? Here’s my first recipe of the weekend…
I made a trip to Trader Joe’s on Friday and ended up buying a massive container of strawberries and another one of blueberries! I need to come up with more recipes to use them all up…but first: these! Strawberry and banana go together in lots of fake-flavored juices, smoothies, etc. but they’re even better together in real life. Ā The bananas make these pancakes super moist! If I could eat raw bananas (read: I’m allergic to them if they’re not cooked), I’d add some sliced ones on top too.
Enjoy!
