Cook's Notes

My daughter is concerned about her children getting the proper nutrients in their meals. Her one-year old daughter loved smoothies and we had some left over one evening, so I suggested we put it in pancakes the following morning. It has now become a favorite for the entire family, morning, noon or night.

While I really like them, these pancakes do have that "health food" taste that some picky eaters may not like. I used plain yogurt and whole wheat flour like the recipe calls for... perhaps if I had used vanilla yogurt and regular flour, the other eaters would have enjoyed them as well.

My entire family loved these. My husband likes the plain old boring kind of food and he actually loved these. We think if you add a little more strawberries and then some walnuts it would be perfect...
