I can't even take credit for this discovery, it was actually Alex who sent me the link and asked, "We should buy this, shouldn't we?"

So if you've been following le blog, you know that the way I eat is FFactor (read more about that HERE) and essentially, it's a high fiber/low fat where I keep track of the net carbs I consume.

Case in point, this Nekst high fiber pancake mix that I am totally and always gonna be here for because it's delicious and the net carb per serving is so low.

Let's take a closer look at the nutrition:

So a couple of things:

You can't expect to eat an entire stack of pancakes the way you are served at like, Denny's or IHOP if you're looking to be healthy. You can't do it with the Nekst pancake mix and you sure af can't do it with regular pancake mix. So if that's what you're expecting, you're gonna be disappointed. The serving size is two tablespoons of Nekst mix, which gives you two pancakes about 4 inches across. So, with a really yummy egg white omelette full of veggies and a little cheese, maybe some turkey sausage, and a side of fruit, a couple of Nekst pancakes, you got yourself a really delicious low carb meal that will keep you full for hours that you can feel completely guilt free about.

So let's compare the nutrition with Bisquick:

First of all, the serving size is fucking insane. No one needs that many pancakes. 1/3rd of a cup is 5.3 tablespoons, so more than twice the serving size of the Nekst pancake mix.

There is no dietary fiber to speak of in the Bisquick one, which means not only is it *not* gonna keep you full but oh look there's 28 carbs per serving. In the Nekst mix there's 4 net carbs (11 carbs - 7 grams of fiber= 4 net carbs).

But another thing: there is more fat in the Nekst pancake mix. Although the way I eat is low fat/high fiber, if I'm going to indulge a bit, I'd rather it be in higher fat content than high carbs.

But guys, THAT'S JUST ME. You do you. I'm just telling you about this wildly delicious, high fiber, low carb pancake mix because it's amazing.

Have you tried this? Any other random wonderful discoveries on amazon that you think I'll be into?? TELL ME EVERYTHING BELOW.
