Banana Walnut Chocolate Chip Muffins (wheat-free, dairy-free, gluten-free)

These muffins make a great snack and are loaded with fiber.  Be sure to drink at least 8 oz. of water each time you eat one because water is fiber's best friend! :)

Chocolaty Chocolate Chip Pancakes (wheat-free, dairy-free)

On the weekends, I make pancakes for the family. I thought it would be fun to jazz them up a bit by making chocolaty chocolate chip pancakes. Boy were they excited!!!

I used the following ingredients but feel free to substitute with your preferred oil and milk.

2 cups Namaste Waffle & Pancake Mix
2 organic, vegetarian-fed hen eggs
2 tablespoons organic coconut oil (can use olive oil or grape seed oil)
3/4 cup organic soy milk (can use almond milk or rice milk)
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
3 tbsp Shaklee Energizing Soy Protein Creamy Cocoa
1/4 cup Enjoy Life mini chocolate chips

Reserve chips and mix all ingredients with a blender. Stir in the chocolate chips. Pour onto preheated, sprayed griddle.

For added sweetness, top with fresh raspberries and Xagave nectar.
