There are lists and lists of symptoms pregnant women get but the most obvious one for me lately is my sweet tooth. I’ve been craving something sweet on a daily bases and it’s very out of the ordinary because I usually crave more savory foods. So … instead of devouring items like chocolate, candy or tempting desserts I’ve created my own delicious breakfast dessert – Banana Chocolate Chip Protein Pancakes! They definitely satisfy my sweet tooth but also provide lean protein and fibre to sustain my hunger levels and give me the energy I need to start the day. Baby Bean and Mommy are Happy Campers! 🙂
