Pumpkin Protein Pancakes Recipe

Nothing says fall like pumpkin pancakes… especially when they’re packed with protein to help keep you full and fuel steady energy. These Pumpkin Protein Pancakes from Dr. Mindy Pelz are warm, cozy, and nourishing. And they come with the ultimate toppings: pumpkin caramel maple syrup and a sprinkle of beeya seed cycling blends. 

What’s seed cycling? It’s a simple daily practice of eating ground seeds, flax and pumpkin in the first half of your cycle, sesame and sunflower in the second half, at certain times throughout the month. Each seed provides unique nutrients that naturally support estrogen and progesterone when your body needs them most.

Most women have never heard of seed cycling but once you try it… you might never go back. What makes our ready-made blends so great is that they take all the guesswork out of it. They’re ready-to-use and make seed cycling as easy as one scoop a day + they’re Dr. Mindy Pelz approved!
