Ridiculously Easy Chocolate Brownie Shakeology Pancakes | 21 Day Fix Recipe
I have been slightly obsessed with my new recipe.... Chocolate Brownie Shakeology Pancakes. I'm pretty sure I this is day 5 of eating pancakes for lunch every day. But isn't it great to eat pancakes guilt free??
Not only are these protein pancakes incredibly simple and delicious, but they are super healthy.
Why? The secret ingredient is chocolate Shakeology. So you are not only eating what seems like a very decadent meal, but you're getting superfood nutrition, vitamins, minerals, protein, probiotics and so much more!
As a bonus, these pancakes are gluten free!
Be creative with your toppings. I'm not a big fan of using maple syrup because sugar makes me crave more sugar. And I won't use any of those crazy chemical zero calorie toppings you might see in the "diet" aisle at the store.
My favorite Shakeology pancake toppings:
Sliced bananas with or without chopped nuts and/or unsweetened coconut flakes
Blueberry (or other berry) "syrup" - just nuke about a cup of fresh or frozen berries until they are hot and juicy. Mash with a fork if desired.
Peanut butter, almond butter or (my new favorite) sunflower butter
All-fruit jam
Butter (yes, real butter - just don't overdo it, lol)
For those of you following the 21 Day Fix or other Beachbody portion control meal plans, I would count the recipe as: 1.5 RED, 1/2 PURPLE, 1 ORANGE.
