Have A Healthy Breakfast With These Strawberry Banana Oatmeal Belgian Waffles
These protein-packed waffles will seem like a treat, but they’re the right balance of nutrients to fuel your body for the long haul. Have one half of a waffle before and save the other for after your match or workout.
I don’t know about you, but I’m always on the go in the morning. Sometimes, I’m so busy that eating a healthy breakfast doesn’t even seem possible.
But, these turned out to be the easiest waffles to make EVER! The batter is made in the blender for easy clean up, and if you have kids, this is a great recipe for them to help with.
Though these protein packed waffles are easy to make, you’d think then that the best part about them is the strawberry-bananalicious flavor… nope. It’s that they also include healthy probiotics from greek yogurt, fiber from oats, and nutrition and vitamins from eggs, making them not only a perfect breakfast, but a perfect post-workout snack.
Lastly, I want to note that the waffles are freezer-friendly! I’ve included notes in the recipe below on how to properly freeze the waffles so that you can simply pop them in the toaster for a grab and go breakfast :-)
