And, were you aware that B-town A-lister, Katrina Kaif—a fitness enthusiast whose washboard abs would put anyone to shame—has a penchant for sweet goodies? Yes! "Katrina absolutely loves her pancakes, more than any other dessert. She also happens to be extremely strict and specific about her cheat meals, so I make sure to make the pancakes healthy yet binge-worthy," says Juhi Pahwa. 

Juhi's special pancake recipe primarily contains ingredients including buckwheat flour, keeping Kat's gluten sensitivity in mind, whey protein and eggs, to maintain her protein intake, a zero sugar sweetener, the best Belgian cocoa powder, and a dash of cinnamon. The delectable pancakes are topped with healthy vegan Nutella from the Better Binge and sugar-free marshmallows and peanut butter from Juhi's kitchen.
