If somebody tells you that you are going to have a protein dish, maybe a protein shake or anything like that, how happy would you be? Maybe I should say, how happy would the foodie in you be? Mine was skeptical when I ordered a protein waffle, but I was assured I would like it so I patiently took a seat and waited. The experimenter in me was keen to try it, the foodie in me was skeptical, the little bit of me that’s worried about how much of weight I have been putting on, was very happy.

Soon, I had a plate of two pieces of brown waffles placed in front of me, drizzled with chocolate, topped with a small scoop of vanilla ice cream and scoop of Nutella on top. Even before I took a first bite, I was delighted. It looked so delicious, I could feel it, this was going to be a worthwhile experiment for me, to try something that new.

The two pieces of waffles were protein rich, had a secret blend of protein rich ingredients, blended together to create a smooth waffle batter, infused with some Nutella, and made into waffles in the iron. If you expect something tasting bitter or bland, you couldn’t be further from the truth. The waffles are quite moist and soft, easy to cut, and have a clear flavor of Nutella coming from it as well. The chocolate drizzle adds to the flavor balance, giving it a richer feel, complementing the Nutella. And the Vanilla ice cream works well not only as a smoothener and flavorful topping, but also enhances the flavor of the waffles. A piece of the protein waffle, covered in the chocolate drizzle and scooped together with a bit of vanilla ice cream would taste super delicious, that by time you are still gulping it down, you sure would have the other spoon ready and waiting for a bite. It is irresistible, and would also make a great cheat-day treat for all those people who on all the other days limit themselves to the protein shake, but for one cheat day can venture into protein waffles too. And for people like me, who love their food so much that cheat day or no cheat day we treat ourselves each day, this is a great idea of weaving a little bit of healthy into a great dessert to satisfy the unsatisfiable sweet tooth.
