Protein waffles are one of my favorite post-workout meals that can be dressed in a variety of ways, while always serving as a treat in the morning! There are minimal ingredients contributing to this recipe, and it is extremely time efficient for people who tend to skip breakfast due to "lack of time". This is a recipe for a single serving however you may double, triple, or quadruple it depending on the amount of people you are feeding. You can even make them in bulk to store in the freezer, which makes for a great quick meal or snack throughout the day!
Although I will always recommend a food-first approach, there are many benefits to incorporating protein powder into your diet. It is not recommended to use protein powder as a meal replacement, rather you should utilize it to fill in the gaps where you are missing an opportunity to consume protein through whole food sources.
Some advice when considering the use of any protein powder is to do your research! Read the ingredient list to know what is being used in the specific formula, so that you are aware of exactly what you are putting into your body. Some proteins mix a lot better when added to fluids than others, so it may take some trial and error to determine the best option for you.
There are a variety of wonderful protein powder brands on the market that accommodate to several dietary restrictions. For this recipe I used a vegan option from the brand GHOST called Peanut Butter Cereal Milk. I also have done this recipe with VEGA vanilla + greens protein and enjoyed it just the same. I am very pleased with both brands, and recommend them both, to people who have issues with whey and/or casein protein powders.
