Each month, your favorite dishes get a healthy and delectable do-over with tips from Keri Glassman, R.D. What makes this version of your favorite brunch staple such an upgrade? For one, the vanilla: A magic baking weapon, vanilla extract lends deep flavor without a stitch of sugar—and it has only five calories per serving. Substituting kefir for whipped cream means extra protein and calcium, plus its probiotics are linked to weight loss. Coconut flakes and whole grains add plenty of fiber to help keep you satisfied. And you don't need to skip the syrup, either. Just make sure you go for 100 percent grade A maple syrup (no high-fructose corn syrups allowed!). The nature-made drizzler is full of antioxidants and anti-inflammatories. Ready to get brunching? Check out the full recipe below.
