Pancakes to Help You Focus Better
Well, if you are having an exam in a week and you’ve spent the semester watching TV shows and movies online, then I have one thing to say to you: I hear ya! It wasn’t that long ago when I had the same problem, and I found an easy fix: a website filled with pancake recipes to anyone’s taste, including mine.
Now, you might ask yourselves how on earth will pancakes help me focus better and pass my exams. Well, if prepared with the right ingredients, pancake recipes will not only be handy when you are hungry, but they might actually help your studying process.
The Ultimate Exam Friendly Pancake Ingredients
Without any further ado, here’s what your pancake recipe should consist of if you want to be focused on your books. (leave J. K. Rowling aside, at least for now J).
Whole Grains
Prepare yourselves a batch of pancakes with whole grains. Eating them will help you sustain mental focus better than eating refined carbohydrates for breakfast.
Blueberries
Fold them whole into the batter, top the pancakes with them, or pulse them in a food processor and make a bluish batter, either way, a breakfast filled with blueberries is surely going to help you focus during the exam. Blueberries contain high levels of gallic acid, they are the world’s biggest antioxidants, and they also contain vitamin C and vitamin K. So, I’d say: go for them!
Walnuts
Besides making every pancake bite a crunchy pleasure, walnuts will also improve your cognitive health. Being high in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals means that eating these brain-like nuts will improve your mental alertness.
