Of all the protein-pancake mixes we tested this year, Purely Elizabeth’s fluffy Grain-Free Protein + Collagen Pancake & Waffle Mix takes the cake (pun intended), made with superfood seeds.
Paleo Syrup | $16
Made with only dates and aloe vera, the exceptionally clean Bomb Drizzle Original by Blender Bombs is a Paleo syrup like no other that pairs well with pancakes, waffles and even over plain ol’ toast.
Editors’ Obsession: Grain-Free Paleo Granola | $8
Baked to uniquely chewy perfection, Within/Without Maple Pecan Grain-Free Paleo Granola is a mouthwatering mix of almonds, pecans and the distinctly sweet taste of maple syrup.
Chocolate Almond Spread | $14
Broma Organic Dark Chocolate Almond Spread not only contains the obvious (cocoa powder and almonds), it’s also powered by plant-based protein and fiber from lentils.
Dairy & Dairy-Free Dupes
Milk is yesterday’s news. We’re shaking up the dairy category with modern finds to update this dietary staple.
Goat Milk Kefir | $7
Our editors fell in love with Redwood Hill Farm Plain Goat Milk Kefir, a sweet and silky-smooth sip with 11 live active cultures, resulting in a subtly tangy flavor that’ll do wonders for your gut.
