The Sage Project is one of the newest food tech companies that have launched an app to help consumers choose healthy chow. Although, with plenty of apps already providing this service, Sage knew they had to go that little bit further to give users additional information about the additives and preservatives in food to gain a sizeable user base.

Fluffy whole grain pancakes loaded with chocolate chips and packed with protein for a delicious and healthy breakfast, ready in less than 30 minutes!

I used to hit snooze 5 times a morning before finally dragging myself out of bed and into the kitchen to start a cup of coffee. 

But lately a certain four year old insists on waking up at the crack of dawn, shaking me until I get up and make him something to eat. Usually pancakes. 

He never requests any specific kind of pancake—he’d be content with just plain pancakes—but if I’m gonna wake up that early and eat pancakes 4 times a week, I have to change it up from time to time. Since the little guy usually runs around all day fueled by his wild imagination, I wanted to make sure he started his day with lots of protein. And these whole wheat oatmeal chocolate chip protein pancakes (geez that’s a mouthful) get the job done.

I grew up drinking hazelnut coffee. 

Not necessarily because that was my favorite flavor of coffee, but just because that’s what my parents would buy. So for all of my coffee drinking years, that was all I had.

So when my mom stopped buying hazelnut coffee about a year ago and swapped it with regular coffee, I didn’t really notice a difference. But since you guys LOVED my last coffee creamer recipe, which might be the best French vanilla coffee creamer you will ever come across, and because so many of you requested a hazelnut version, I got to work.
