How about we start this Wednesday off with something delicious? Because life is too short to not make Wednesdays great. What do you say? Let’s make these Vanilla Protein Paleo Waffles at home today, and let’s enjoy every. single. bite.
Got a waffle maker? Go get these ingredients now, before the kids and the hubs wake up. You know you want to make them. I see you, fast grocery shopper you. And who knows? Maybe you won’t need to go to the grocery store at all. You may have all these ingredients on hand already.
Now, for those of you who eat Paleo or lead a gluten-free life, you’ll be thrilled to have a new waffle recipe in your recipe arsenal that fits your way of eating. But for those of you who are not Paleo or gluten-free, don’t stop reading quite yet. I have a strong feeling you’ll ditch any other waffle recipe you have and stick with this one after you try it. It is that good. And healthy. A major double win.
Here is why I love these Vanilla Protein Paleo Waffles so much. They are:
- Fluffy
- Crispy on the edges
- Perfectly balanced (not too sweet)
- Packed with protein
- Gluten-free
- Grain-free
- Nut-free
- Processed sugar free
- Tasty
These didn’t last long in our home when I first made them. All six square waffles the recipe yielded were gone in two days. Which is sort of quick for a home of two. My husband inhaled three for breakfast alone, I practiced major self-control and only had one, and then the remaining two were gone the next morning after our workout. Waffle-eating-beasts over here. No big deal. So what will I do differently? I will double the recipe.
Let’s take a moment to talk about the flavor of these waffles. Because that’s the best part of food, is it not? I mean, don’t get me wrong, healthy and gluten-free and processed sugar free and all of those things are amazing and wonderful in food too, but flavor is king.
These babies have a slightly sweet taste, in spite of the lack of added sugar, and a slight vanilla taste, even though no vanilla was added. There’s a secret to that trick. Wanna know what it is?
Vanilla Whey Protein Powder.
The reason why I love this whey protein so much is because:
- It is packed with probiotics (great for gut health) & amino acids (great for muscle recovery)
- It helps with my athletic performance
- Improves my hydration
- Feeds me quality protein
These Vanilla Protein Paleo Waffles are not only meant to be for breakfast. Enjoy these as a mid-day snack with a nice cup of coffee, pack them for your kids as an easy and nutritious school snack, serve them in your next brunch and even enjoy them for brinner. Possibilities are endless with these babies. Go have fun with these.
