Protein Packed Belgian Waffles and Seasonal Fruit

Some days we have more time for breakfast than others. On those rare occasions when I can sleep in and have a leisurely breakfast before starting my day, I enjoy making Belgian Waffles. This is a treat as each waffle takes a few minutes to cook, each flavor is a delight and wants to be savored, slowly, and it is a filling meal.

 

Belgian waffles are weekend and holiday treats. I usually follow them by a workout. I cannot think of a better way to spend the day…unless it was to share the meal and workout with all my family and friends!

-Cook until the indicator on your waffle maker says it is done
