We've suggested crepes , pancakes , and even protein brownies , but what about waffles? It's true, what could be better than a good waffle to satisfy our sweet tooth? Whether it's for breakfast, a post-workout snack, or even just for dessert, waffles are always the perfect solution. But today, we're going to show you that we can take it a step further by adding a little something extra: whey protein . It's a way to combine pleasure and nutrition. So, put on your apron and get ready to discover this recipe that combines flavor and benefits for your muscles!

Ingredients

To make these protein waffles, we will need the following ingredients for approximately 4 people:

• 100g of flour
• 30 g of whey protein (Flavor of your choice; vanilla or chocolate are classics that go well together)
• 2 eggs
• 200 ml of milk
• 1 sachet of baking powder
• 1 pinch of salt
• Oil (for greasing the waffle iron)

Steps

1. In a large bowl, mix the flour, whey protein, baking powder and a pinch of salt.
2. In another bowl, beat the eggs with the milk. Mix until smooth.
3. Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture, stirring until you obtain a thick, smooth batter. If the batter seems too thick, feel free to add a little more milk to loosen it.
4. Heat the waffle iron and lightly grease it with oil to prevent the waffles from sticking. Once the waffle iron is hot, pour in a portion of batter and close it.
5. Cook the waffles for approximately 3 to 5 minutes, depending on the power of the waffle iron, until they are golden brown.
6. Serve the waffles warm, accompanied by fresh fruit, Greek yogurt, or even a spoonful of peanut butter for even more protein and indulgence.

Our advice

We tested this recipe before sharing it with you, and we loved it. But we do have a few tips to help you get the most out of it and fully enjoy its benefits:

• Choose the right whey : The quality of the whey you use makes all the difference. Opt for a high-quality whey, free of unnecessary additives. At Squad Nutrition, we offer protein wheys that mix perfectly and provide natural flavors, ideal for our culinary preparations.
  

• Adjust the portions to your needs : Depending on your nutritional goals, feel free to adjust the amount of whey in the recipe. If you're following a high-protein diet, you can slightly increase the whey while maintaining the balance of the other ingredients.
• Add superfoods : To further boost the nutritional value of your waffles, incorporate superfoods like chia seeds, goji berries, or even spirulina into the batter. These ingredients will provide vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
• Be mindful of your toppings : Don't negate the benefits of our protein waffles with overly sweet or fatty toppings. We know, Nutella or powdered sugar are tempting, but they're not the best choice. Opt instead for fresh fruit, nuts, or a drizzle of pure maple syrup.
