Rainbow Pancakes

I was going through my pictures today and stumbled on these:




Aren't the colors perty?!
Okay, here's the story. The cupboards were pretty bare...waiting for payday to come around. I wanted to make something for dinner that was healthy but also that the kids would enjoy. So I rummaged around and saw I had some flour, eggs, powdered milk, and frozen fruit. I remembered reading about rainbow pancakes online a few weeks back and I decided I was going to try it. I pulled out my juicer and blender, substituted the juices and purees for the liquid in the recipe and Voila! the beautiful colors you have before you. The orange ones were made with carrot juice, the green ones from lettuce (yes, lettuce), purple ones somehow were from raspberries, and yellow was mango. Let me just say....the boys thoroughly enjoyed making these.....now eating them was a different story. If I ever do this again...I'll be sticking with normal flavorings like blueberry and strawberry. NEVER EVER try to make lettuce pancakes!
