Vanilla Protein Waffles

So I get a text message from a friend the other day saying they saw a picture of me on Facebook and is really worried that I am not eating.  I couldn't help but giggle at that.  Sure the camera angle and lighting sucked and did not work in my favor, but the dang picture was one my husband took of me with a big plate of waffles in front of me.  

I love seeing the look on peoples faces when I tell them I have pancakes and waffles for breakfast on the weekends. They are like "what the…" like how do I eat this stuff and stay fit.  They all say "you must have to work out extra after eating that." Nah not really.  You cannot work out extra and eat like crap and expect results.  And you certainly cannot work out hard and eat like a bird.  Nutrition is everything…but eating clean does NOT have to be boring.  So on Saturdays and Sundays, Robert and I usually like to have some waffles or pancakes.  You see, my taste buds and body think I'm indulging in a succulent treat.  But my mind knows its all clean ingredients… so I don't feel guilty after.  

Vanilla Protein Waffles (serves 2)

3/4 cup oat flour (blend oats in blender until they have a flour consistency)

2 scoops vanilla protein powder (I use Cellucor)

3 Tbsp coconut flour

2 tsp baking podwer

1 cup almond milk

1/2 cup liquid egg whites

1 Tbsp vanilla extract

Mix all ingredients together with a hand blender.  Spray waffle maker with coconut oil spray.  Cook, then top with desired fruit.  I used bananas and strawberries today with sugar free maple syrup.
