Protein - Fruit Waffles

Do you ever get sick of just drinking protein shakes in the morning? Well, I do! I decided to use my waffle iron and make protein waffles filled with fruit and ground flax seed. They are great!

I start out with the waffle iron getting hot and spray it with Pam. In the meantime I mix up the following ingredients to equal 1 cup.

1/2 cup of pancake mix ( I like buttermilk Bisquick)
1 scoop of Whey protein - vanilla flavor
1 teaspoon of real pure vanilla or extract will work too! (optional)
2 heaping tablespoons of ground flax seed which will digest better than seeds.
1/4 cup of fresh blueberries and/or strawberries - not too many or the batter will be too thin
You can use regular milk, coconut or almond milk - just enough to get the batter to the right consistency...I prefer a blend of coconut and almond milk.....approx. 1/4 cup or less.

Makes 2 waffles

Top with pure maple syrup in moderation!

There are quite a few growers in the PNW to choose from. A local favorite is the Biringer Farm , you can check out their website for more information. After, of course, the morning coffee, I will make my breakfast shake. It consists of one cup of unsweetened almond milk, unsweetened coconut milk, or unsweetened oat milk. Normally when watching calories, I will opt for almond or coconut milk. I also like at times to mix all three to make one full cup! I will add one scoop of whey, my morning vitamin, and one cup of frozen strawberries. Sometimes I will add a frozen banana or frozen blueberries. My favorite is just using strawberries. I blend this for about a minute to make sure eve...
