L'eggo my Eggo! You’ve probably sworn off this dessert-like breakfast because it's normally packed full of carbs and sugar (and even topped with more sugar) and made with white bleached flour. Restaurant-style and freezer-varieties of waffles (Eggos) are usually a black hole of calories and sugar and they lack any nutritional value.
Finally, here we have a high-protein, low-carb recipe for guilt-free waffles. Now your can stop drooling over those #foodporn photos you see on Pinterest and have some for yourself.
This is a great recipe that uses the Cellucor Mint Chocolate Chip Whey Protein. If you want to try out the Mint Chocolate Chip Whey ...

The pancakes use only two ingredients: egg whites and whey protein powder. With that said, they kind of come out like a pancake/omelet, so be sure to choose a taste-bud-tickling, delicious whey protein powder. I LOVE Cellucor’s line of Cor-Whey protein and my favorite flavor is Cor-fetti Cake Batter because it tastes like funfetti cake!
I eat whey protein pancakes a lot. I’m living that 80/20 lifestyle and my love for tasty whey protein falls in that 20%. ...

Hulk Pancakes
HULK SMASH (these pancakes)!!! I’ve said it before, but I always try to find sneaky ways to fit vegetables into all of my meals. The banana and vanilla in this recipe not only mask the taste of the spinach, but they also add a delicious flavor. My bit of advice is to be extra delicate when flipping these pancakes. Since spinach isn’t the best binder and it releases its moisture when cooked, I tend to let the Hulk Pancakes cook a little longer than normal pancakes.
Why spinach? Well Popeye knew a thing or two about this nutrient-rich leafy green. Here are a few reasons why I love spinach:
A cup and a half of spinach (about the amount I use ...
