If you’re following the Keto diet, there’s one sort-of holiday that can be extra depressing and is none other than Pancake Tuesday. Shrove Tuesday is the last day before Lent where historically, Christians have celebrated with a feast. Nowadays, Shrove Tuesday’s feast is made up of some good ol’ pancakes.
If you’re eating the Keto diet, this is not a meal for you. Or is it? Maybe instead of silently suffering through watching your family members enjoy breakfast for supper, you can make your own version of pancakes that will nourish your body. These pancake recipes are not only good for you but they taste incredible. Heck, your family may even prefer your pancakes over their traditional recipe!
