This is a healthy, easy, gluten-free breakfast that will keep you going till lunch, says Valérie Orsoni
This easy, gluten-free recipe is a key component of LeBootCamp Diet. You can make the batter the night before and keep it, covered, in the fridge.
Serve with organic, raw honey; a tiny spoonful of low-GI strawberry jam or non-hydrogenated margarine. Add a piece of fruit and you have a healthy breakfast rich in prebiotics that will help you lose weight and keep you going until lunch.
