So we all know that getting enough protein in our diet is important but as someone who is picky and has a bunch of food allergies & intolerances, I’ve always struggled with eating enough protein. Until I realized, I could make things I like with protein powder.

I don’t know about you, but I have a sweet tooth and prefer a sweet breakfast over a savory one. So waffles are one of my favorite breakfast foods. I began researching a bunch of different protein waffle recipes and so many of them were overly complicated, had too many ingredients, or just did not taste good. Until I stumbled upon one that was close to what I wanted and I slightly adjusted from there. I, unfortunately, can’t remember where I found it so sorry to whoever created the bases of this recipe.

I use my DASH mini waffle maker which is the perfect size, easy to use, and comes in so many fun colors!
