Why this works
Moderate-energy breakfast or dessert with some protein from eggs and yoghurt, but relatively high in refined carbohydrate and added sugar.
Vitamin C from lemon and mango. The lemon and mango contribute vitamin C, which supports normal immune function and helps with iron absorption.
Protein and calcium from eggs and yoghurt. Eggs and yoghurt provide protein, plus yoghurt contributes calcium for bone health.
Refined carbohydrate and sugar content. The pancake mix and added sugar increase the carbohydrate and sugar load, so this is less suitable for blood sugar control than a lower-sugar breakfast.
Method
- Whisk the pancake mix with the eggs and the amount of water or milk stated on the packet until smooth.
- Finely grate in some lemon zest and stir through a little lemon juice.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat and lightly grease if needed.
- Cook spoonfuls of batter for 1–2 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through.
- Peel and slice the mango.
- Serve the pancakes topped with yoghurt, mango and a light dusting of sugar if you like.
