Lean and Clean Breakfast Idea

Our clients have requested recipes from us, they are so fired up about the new contest, everyone wants the EDGE> so here you go!  PUMPKIN PROTEIN PANCAKES are an easy to make staple for awesome taste and awesome results.  My advice is to make a giant batch of these and Mike thinks I am crazy but I eat them cold out the bag.  Ellen eats them the morning I make them, so you know they are good.

These pack easily or freeze ahead and feel like a splurge but they are NOT!  Pumpkin is filled with fiber and nutrients plus the protein is high and they take "bread-like" which is so nice on a cold winter day.  Awesome with a warm cup of Mandarin Orange Spark.

Trust me and try these you will be amazed at how delicious clean eating can be!
