Vegan Strawberry Protein Waffles

Updated: Jun 25, 2021

I think it is safe to say that I am now waffle obsessed - I have used my waffle iron so much over the past few months I had to send it off for repairs! I've been having so much fun playing around with different variations and here is my recipe for delicious strawberry flavour vegan protein waffles.

I like to keep my protein intake fairly high to help with muscle gain and repair and have luckily not found hitting my protein targets much of a struggle since going vegan. These waffles are made using strawberry flavoured protein powder from The Protein Works and for a stack of these waffles you have more than 30g of complete plant-based protein to help fuel your body for whatever the day brings your way.

Although I used strawberry flavoured protein powder, they still looked like regular coloured waffles - so to make the perfect pink colour I used a teaspoon of pink pitaya powder from Super U. My favourite way to top these waffles is with some fresh strawberries, vegan white chocolate, and a load of sweet syrup.
