Not All Pancake Mixes Are Created Equal
A baking mix is an excellent way to save time, money and reduce waste while creating a delicious stack of pancakes/a batch of cookies/a tin of cake in no time at home. Baking mixes have been around for ages, and it's been a rarely questioned category. Betty Crocker mixes have been around since 1921 and are a firm favorite of the US consumers.

Superfood Bakery x QNOLA
What could be better than a warm, cinnamon-y, delicious smell of a freshly made stack of pancakes in the morning? That's right, hardly anything. We love finding new delicious ways to serve our mixes (like this one or this one). That's why we teamed up with Qnola this month - they make delicious nutritionally enhanced breakfast products.

A few weeks ago Ali has created a video recipe for Chunky Monkey Dreamers Pancakes using our pancake mix... and OMG (we didn't know...
Vegan Chocolate Orange Energy Balls
We love meeting inspiring and talented founders of other food brands. A few weeks ago we shared smoothies with Mary - a founder of Onist Food. Mary is a nutritionist who used to work for Jamie Oliver (omg!) and then started her own business making delicious Avocado Choc Pods. We loved them so much that we could not wait to try them with one of our mixes! The result was SO good, that would have been unfair of us not to share the recipe with you (we have eaten half of the batch within an hour of making it!). Recipe (makes...

They believe in the same things as we do: finding the perfect balance between health and fun, and nourishing your body with healthy and delicious food! It was only natural that we would try and see how to incorporate their snack bars into one of our recipes...
