Hitting your daily protein goal can be harder than it sounds — especially for women. Busy schedules, smaller appetites, and the challenge of finding high-protein options that actually taste good often mean protein takes a back seat. But adequate protein is key for supporting muscle recovery, boosting metabolism, and keeping you fuller for longer. That’s why we’re excited to share this delicious protein waffle recipe from one of our graduated clients, Rita. We always found ourselves asking her for recipes and thought we’d share it with all of you. A simple, satisfying, and sweet way to help you reach your protein goals without feeling like you’re “forcing” another chicken breast.
Waffle Instructions:
- serving size of Kodiak Cake pancake/waffle mix
- eggs
- Fairlife Skim Milk 0%
You will need a waffle maker to put together the waffle. Alternatively, you can buy your waffles.
Protein Spread Instructions:
- 1 scoop of chocolate flavoured protein powder
- 1 individual cup of plain Greek yogurt
- 1-2 tbsp of cocoa powder
- 1/2 – 1 tbsp of organic maple syrup (optional)
Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Slowly stir in tiny amounts of water to get the spread to the consistency you like. This recipe makes enough spread for 6 waffles.
Then grab your waffle, latter on top your protein spread and top it off with your favourite fruit. Usually strawberries, blueberries and apple slices are a nice pairring. You could also top it off with 1 scoop of a chocolate flavoured protein shake on the side!
Rita: “I prep multiple waffles for the week depending on how many days I choose to eat them. I reheat
the waffles in the toaster, apply the spread, and cut up an apple and strawberries to put on top.
Lately, I’ve been sprinkling cinnamon on top of the fruit to give it some more flavour. The added
cinnamon makes my breakfast taste like….. CHURROS!!! I love this recipe because it has about 20 grams of protein in it. It tastes amazing and it’s still healthy. It’s low in processed sugars depending on how much maple syrup you add and we love natural sugar from the fruits.
I’m always aiming to eat more protein in each meal, so this one has helped me be more creative when I get bored with the breakfast charcuterie plate I usually have! It’s also easy to meal prep, so I make enough for the week and all I have to do is reheat it and cut up the fruit when I need to eat it the next day!”
Getting enough protein doesn’t have to be boring or complicated. This protein waffle recipe from Rita proves you can fuel your body, support your fitness goals, and enjoy every bite. Whether you make it as a post-workout breakfast, a quick grab-and-go snack, or a weekend brunch treat, it’s a simple way to turn your protein goals into something delicious.
