It is weird, but I have actually really started to love the taste of coffee. Many people think it is weird when they see a 16 year old drinking coffee. And don’t worry, it is not the pumpkin spice latte or sugar filled frappuccinos from Starbucks that I drink. Of course I add a little sweetener and some creamer. I’m not crazy enough to drink plain black coffee yet!

The logical think to do with my new found love for coffee was to make some coffee flavored pancakes. I used the cafe cream NutriWhey protein from NutriForce Sports. It has such a good coffee flavor and actually has some bits of ground coffee in it. Now that is serious.

And as you all probably know, my pancakes can never be plain. I had to add many toppings. First I added some healthy chocolate protein ice cream that I was lucky enough to try from Halo Top Creamery. This ice cream is  seriously amazing. So rich and creamy yet it only has 4g of sugar and it even has 7g of protein. Now that is some ice cream I am willing to eat. Pretzels and blackberries were added on too, but who cares about that. Ice cream is what matters.
