Discover the four building blocks of heart health.
Fiber
Found in foods like oat bran, flaxseed and dried fruit, fiber binds to cholesterol particles in the intestine and moves them out of the body.
Plant Sterols
Plant sterols - a group of substances made in plants such as nuts and seeds - block cholesterol absorption in the digestive tract.
Omega-3s
Omega-3s - essential fatty acids present in foods such as chia seeds, walnuts and flaxseed - reduce inflammation and help lower triglycerides while raising HDL (good) cholesterol.
Antioxidants
Found in foods like dark chocolate, berries and pecans, antioxidants help prevent the build-up of plaque in the blood vessels.

I love these pancakes! What a nice treat for the weekend! The best thing about these pancakes? No stomach bloating!! Wonderful! Great taste too. These are healthy pancakes, so don't expect it to be like the others. They are better, because they support your healthy life!
- LJLarry J.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars3 months agoA hearty pancake
Easy and convenient to make, with a heartiness deserving of a pile of microwaved fruit (mixed with a bit of honey) sprinkled with cacao nibs or strawberry compote with a sprig of basil as a topping. More dense than fluffy.
- CChristyVerified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars4 months agoReally good!
I add blueberries, a dash of vanilla and top with a little sugar free syrup. Perfect!
- GSGloria S.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars6 months agoYES! YOU CAN MAKE WAFFLES, TOO!
I actually can’t be a good judge of quality since I’m unsure how I would be able to know that; however, I have discovered a wonderful way of improving taste and texture. I have a mini waffle maker that works amazingly well with this product. The key is to allow the pancake mixture to set for the full five minutes and the waffles come out so firm, crisp, and delicious. The package makes two nice waffles! By topping with berries, walnuts, a drizzle of pure maple syrup, and a few extra chia seeds, this makes an excellent breakfast that keeps me satisfied throughout the morning!
