Hosting brunch this holiday season? If you are looking for a creative way to entertain (without the heavy ingredients like cheese, salami, etc), you'll love today's read. We're pairing homemade oat-pancakes with a selection of superfood "dips" and a variety of fresh fruit.
Why is it called the “Wonder” MOODBoard? Because the dips and oatmeal are infused with adaptogens and nootropics to evoke a feeling of wonder. The matcha, blue majik, purple sweet potatoes, and beets give the yogurt dips bright, fun colors as well as MOOD-enhancing elements. It's pleasing to the eye and will definitely give you a nutritional boost during the indulging holidays!
