Healthy Alterations: #fixthedish
  • Using Organic Sugar not Cane Sugar
    • Organic is the most natural way for sugar to get in your body except for fruit. It is not processed unlike Cane Sugar.
  • Substitute Blueberries for Chocolate Chips
    • Gives you a serving of fruit and gives you the natural sugar you need, you could use less sugar in the pancakes if you'd like
  • Use dark chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate chips
    • Dark chocolate contains less sugary milk and more cocoa, which is not bad for the body
  • Use whole grain, unbleached flour vs. bleached flour
    • Unbleached flour does not contain as many harmful chemicals, and whole grain flour gives you servings of whole grains

On the lighter side:
1 Banana
3 Egg Whites
- Recipe -
Peel the banana and place in bowl
Mash with a fork
Add in three egg whites
Combine until you get a batter like mixture
(it's okay if there are some banana chunks!)
Cook each pancake over low heat
*Whole Serving of Fruit, Protein*
*Gluten-Free*
- reduced cholesterol by using just egg whites - 

3 Good Choices:
  • Make pancakes from scratch instead of a boxed pancake mix
    • Pancake mix is heavily processed and has unnecessary ingredients.  These pancakes are extra fresh and extra healthy, as well.
  • Serve with a carbohydrate 
    • In this easy and tasty breakfast idea, you already have your fruit and protein, so consider eating a carb, such as a whole wheat piece of toast or some cereal!
  • One serving dish!
    • This breakfast is great, because it is enough for one person! This way, you won't over eat; you'll have a perfect portioned start to the day.
Pancakes are a classic, and yummy breakfast. Every Sunday at my house, we make pancakes! Making your own tasty batch of pancakes from scratch is exceptionally better tasting and nutritional.  And by using the right ingredients, they become the favorite and healthiest breakfast choice.  Frozen, packaged pancakes and pancake mixes are loaded with preservatives.  If you don't have the time to make up some pancakes in the morning, make them ahead of time and put them in the freezer for a quick reheat and on the go breakfast!
