These gluten free, dairy free, vegan friendly protein waffles are a great weekend breakfast. You can pair them with lots of different toppings. It’s best to pair them with a paste or liquid-y ingredient so they don’t taste too dry. Things like 100% maple syrup, yogurt, honey or nut butter work well. Then add nuts and fruits of your choice. Thing’s that work well include shredded coconut, chopped mango, kiwi fruit or apple,banana, dates, walnut, pistachios, almonds.

- 1⅓ cup gluten free flour
- 4 tsp baking powder
- 1 scoop chai vanilla protein powder
- 2 eggs, whisked
- ½ cup coconut oil
- 1¼ cup almond milk
- 2 tsp 100% maple syrup
- TOPPING:
- 1 punnet blueberries
- 2 tsp 100% maple syrup
- 2 tbs of chosen nut butter (I used one mixed with cocoa from the health food section in the supermarket)
- Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl. Stir until mixed well.
- Add in eggs and stir.
- Add in coconut oil, almond milk, and maple syrup. Whisk until clumps dissolve and a thick liquify batter is formed.
- Fill the base of your greased waffle maker with the batter and close it. Cook according to waffle maker's directions, or after about 6-8 minutes when browned. Remove waffle from maker and degrease pan repeating the cooking process until all the batter has been cooked.
- Sprinkle with blueberries, maple syrup and nut butter OR other options as noted in the blog post.
Protein Powder Flavouring for Waffles
You can also change the flavour of the waffle by changing the flavour of your protein powder. I used Pure Lean Nutrition’s Vanilla Chai Pea Protein in this recipe but chocolate or plain vanilla protein powder would also work.

The best fitness advice I’ve been given is that lifting weights wont make me ‘bulky’ or large – it will help define and sculpt my body. With regards to health, I’ve learnt that it’s important to incorporate lots of healthy fats instead of avoiding them – they play an important role in health and wellbeing and are nothing to be scared of!
Yes that is so true! When I was looking my slimmest I was lifting weights! Love healthy fats too – especially avocado 😀 Which are your favourites? xx
The best advice I have received concerning fitness and well-being would have to be the concept of shifting one’s perspective. Instead of focusing on all the things you can no longer have/do that may have been bad for your health , dwell on the things you will and have already gained (fitting into that killer outfit you’ve always wanted to wear, feeling comfortable at the beach, having more energy etc ) so far from making the decision to lead a healthier lifestyle.
This piece of advice has recently been super helpful to my journey of becoming a healthier version of myself. Many times I’ve tried dieting but it always ended with looking at the process with negativity towards all the things I couldn’t have or habits I had to give up.
This time round I’m not dieting so to speak but slowly implementing healthier decisions into my everyday life for a permanent change, not a quick fix! Also another big thing is to not get caught up in comparison with other people, instead celebrate peoples victories like you would your own!
Really glad to have stumbled across your blog as it has inspired me to goal for 2017 to be my healthiest year yet!

Hi Sinead, this advice is awesome! I think when we look at things that we ‘can’t have’ (at least not all the time) we often want them more. Focusing on the things that we can have and the results can make a huge difference. Make sure you have a variety of motivators rather than just looks though 🙂 You might enjoy this blog post: https://eatprayworkout.com/exercise-motivation-beyond-weight-loss/ it ties in well with what you mentioned. xx
Yes, I agree! focusing only on looks can too, make it hard to progress into a healthy mindset and lifestyle. Thanks for your feedback and for picking me as one of the winners!! x o
Congratulations Sinead, you’re a winner! I will email you shortly x
The best well being advice I’ve ever taken on board is to practice gratitude everyday. It truly helps with feelings of anxiety and stress by helping to change the way I perceive a situation. Everything is put into perspective and it reminds you of how lucky you truly are. Everyone should practice a little gratitude every day <3

Hey Yolanda, great tip! How do you remember to practice it? I find it hard to remember to! I try to do it when I pray or if I am on a walk. Do you have a certain time you practice your gratitude? Good point to practice daily so it becomes a habit and it much easier to do when you experience hard times.

Don’t give up if you had a bad day, everyone does just keep going the next day like nothing happened!
YES! love this. Something I’ve been trying to work on is extending it to the moment, not just the day. Eg. If it’s been a bad afternoon it doesn’t have to be a bad night too. Otherwise I find I’ll often write off the rest of the day too! Any tips if your bad day is still on your mind the next morning? xx
hhmmm, if it’s still on your mind the next day I think you’re either being way to hard on yourself or something bigger is on your mind and maybe hanging out with a friend should be next priority on the list!
Great advice, thanks for sharing Louise! xx
ruth Hellyer – the best well-being advice I ever received was after the birth of our first baby, when my uncle and Auntie said to my husband and I to listen politely to baby advice, then choose what worked for us and disregard the rest!
Great tips! It’s different for everyone isn’t it and you just have to do what works for you. Mum always says to me – the Mum of the baby knows best! Go with your gut! xx
Nice recipe for protein intake. I would surely try it before my workout in gym
I hope you enjoy it Susan! xx
ipa_admirer – fix your eating as a priority! in my case I needed therapy to eat enough food to get through training without fainting. training was an exercise in masochism prior to accepting a stable fuel intake.
Glad you’ve been able to get the help you need, it can be so difficult when our perceptions are warped and/or we don’t give our bodies enough food to fuel them! All the best with your training and continuing a stable food intake 🙂
The great Rachel Murchie once told me don’t eat a bowl of cheese. Hahaha
But seriously, even if you can’t physically see the results in front of you, every single effort is changing your body from the inside. Never get discouraged!

Hahaha this made me laugh good ol’Rach – wise advice! You’re right….keep your eyes up and mind positive! The rest will follow. xx
The best advice I’ve taken on is that fitness is as much a physical thing as it is mental. I’m so much happier and healthier now that I no longer focus solely on what I look like but how I feel as well.

YES! This is excellent advice. It can be very tiring and burdensome to exercise and eat well when you’re focused only on how you look. You might enjoy my post about why exercise motivation needs to be for more than just weight loss: https://eatprayworkout.com/exercise-motivation-beyond-weight-loss/
The best advice I’ve received (to-dad – always keen for for) is that you shouldn’t call a ‘treat’ a cheat meal – this implies it’s a negative thing. Life happens and eating clean and lean isn’t always possible (I.g dinner’s out or weddings and events) Rather, when we understand that food is fuel and treat food as a necessity (rather than an evil) you begin to make positive choices. Food can become an issue when we continue to see it as the enemy rather than our fuel source. You just have to make the right choices and fuel right. My Insta name is: cat_pete_tiu
Such good advice! Very similar to my sentiments about a ‘cheat day’ here: https://eatprayworkout.com/wellbeing-wednesday-should-i-include-a-cheat-day-in-my-diet/
Congratulations Catherine, you’re a winner! I will email you shortly x
