Healthy Breakfast: Chocolate Monkey Protein Waffles

If you have made my plain chocolate protein waffles you must try the chocolate banana version I made this morning. Soooo good!

Make a batch on the weekend and freeze them. I wrap them in foil and then place them in a freezer Ziploc baggie. Then I can just pull them out and toast them like you would Eggo's or any other frozen waffle any day of the week!

When waffle maker is heated. Spray lightly with Pam. Pour batter onto iron (amount according to your maker's instructions). Put the lid down and cook till done. My waffle stick maker has a darkness setting I set at 3 (the banana version is set lower than plain) it beeps when it's done. For those that are looking for a waffle stick maker, here's one currently available on Amazon.

Smear 'em with Peanut Butter, Almond Butter, or sweetened Ricotta Cheese for a quick breakfast on the go.

I'm heading out to the Farmer's Market to get some fresh fruits & veggies for the week. It's California Strawberry Day (sliced strawberries would be great on these waffles BTW) so those are for sure on my list.

Hope everyone has an awesome day! Remember to enjoy the people you love. Life is too short.
