Mini Diva wants chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast. What is it with teenagers and chocolate? So, I have no chocolate chips. She asked me if we could go to the store and get some chocolate chips.

My reply? "I am willing to bet money that you have a chocolate bar in your bag that I can chop up into chocolate chips". Memory serves that she received lots of chocolate around Christmas.

So Mini Diva makes a mad dash to her purse and whips out a chocolate bar that is in a wrapper that looks like a $1,000,000. bill. She exclaims " Look! you bet money on it!!" Lmao right now.

So the healthy alternative to this high carb breakfast would be buttermilk pancakes (high protein in buttermilk) with fresh fruit and just a few chocolate chips then some egg whites scrambled on the side to balance out the sugar. If you eat your carbs and protein together you will not get the glucose surge through your blood stream.
