Strawberry and Beet Pancakes Will Change Your Mind About Vegetables For Breakfast

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at BU chapter.

If you’re trying to incorporate more vegetables into your diet, adding beets to your pancakes is an easy and delicious way to do so. The mildly sweet flavor of beets pairs well with strawberries, and both pack their own nutritional punch.

Beets are one of those misunderstood vegetables that people tend to steer away from. If you’re one of those people, you’ll be reconsidering your feelings about beets after trying these pancakes. The highly pigmented root vegetables contain high levels of antioxidants, anti-inflammatory properties and support your body’s natural detoxification processes.
