Food Friday: Protein Waffles

Today we are spotlighting one of our favorite products sold here at Beartooth CrossFit – Driven Nutrition’s Fresh Cinnamon Roll whey protein.

If you haven’t experimented baking and cooking with whey protein, then you are missing out on some easy, high protein goods! We like to stress a high protein diet here at Beartooth, because those who engage in exercise/sports training for several hours per week need at least 1.2-2.0 g/kg body weight per day¹!

I digress, here is a pancake/waffle recipe I know you will absolutely love on a Sunday morning!

Ingredients:

1 cup Kodiak Cake Mix (find this at Costco)

1 scoop Driven Nutrition’s whey protein (I recommend fresh cinnamon roll!)

1 egg

1 cup of milk

Toppings:

Chopped banana, almond butter & pecans

Heated berries & Greek Yogurt

Good ol’ butter & maple syrup

Directions:

Please tell me you’ve made a waffle before…
