Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make Banana Oat Pancakes (3 Ingredients) ahead of time?

Mix the dry ingredients the night before. In the morning, add wet ingredients and cook โ€” this cuts active time to under 5 minutes.

Can I make this gluten-free?

Use gluten-free alternatives for the bread/pasta/tortilla component. The protein and sauce parts are naturally gluten-free. Check all packaged sauces for hidden gluten.

My smoothie/blend isn't thick enough โ€” what am I doing wrong?

Use frozen fruit (not fresh + ice), add minimal liquid, and use a thick base like frozen banana or Greek yogurt. Blend in short bursts, pushing ingredients down with a tamper if your blender has one.
