Tropical Berry Pancake STACK! Because who doesn’t want a little taste of the tropics any dang day of the week.

These tropical berry pancakes will have you feeling like you’re on vacation in no time.

I’ve been making a conscious effort to make at least once breakfast each weekday feel special. I’m usually running around in a flurry, and have been working to slow down, breathe, and enjoy the morning when I have the opportunity.

Sometimes that means sleeping in, trading my high intensity workout for a walk around my neighborhood, and making a leisurely breakfast that feels like vacation. Because I’m not going to lie, I have been burned out and am seriously in need of some leisure time.

Craving a vacation like no other…

I was perusing down the produce aisle at my local Sprouts and spotted some gorgeous looking papaya that had me craving a tropical vacation like no other. Instead of wallowing in my desire to be on a beach in Hawaii drinking a pina colada, I decided to make something fruity, tropical, and delicious.

Sprouts has a great variety of tropical flavors this time of year – from papaya to cherimoya and rambutan. I love shopping at Sprouts for produce since it’s incredibly affordable, high quality, and actually lasts more than a day. Because I for one, am sick and tired of buying fruit that go bad the second you bring them home.

Let’s talk about these tropical pancakes

Okay these pancakes are seriously easy and oh so dreamy. I whipped up a stack using Purely Elizabeth protein pancake mix, but you can use whatever mix or recipe you like.

After you’ve cooked up some golden brown pancakes, all you need to do is top your cakes with yogurt of choice (Greek or Skyr for extra protein, or coconut yogurt if you prefer dairy free). Next, you pile on your favorite tropical fruit and berries. Last but not least, drizzle on some maple syrup and a sprinkle of your favorite granola for a little crunch.
