Waffles for breakfast? For many, the mostly heart-shaped pastry is rather an exception. Conventional waffle recipes usually do not do without an abundant amount of sugar and butter and therefore have a handsome amount of calories and fat. Lisa Marie Schweizer has created two recipes that are not only delicious but also fit into her diet. Whey, for example, provides the necessary amount of protein in the waffles, and instead of commercial sugar, the weightlifter uses dates to sweeten the pastries. Dates thus provide the body with sufficient quickly available carbohydrates in the morning and are thus also suitable as a pre-workout meal.

The waffles are topped with granular cream cheese, Skyr, jam and nut puree or protein chocolate cream and banana. “With the combination of granular cream cheese and homemade jam, the waffles taste even better to me than ordinary waffles with Nutella. The waffles are also healthier and richer in protein. They are not heavy in the stomach, so I have even taken them to competition. And honestly, who doesn’t like to start the day on a Sunday with healthy and delicious waffles?”

These waffles may well land more often on the breakfast table.
