Now that's a "Waffle-Wich"

This morning I have been running around getting ready to head out the door quickly for an appointment I have a few towns over. I wanted to make something that would fuel me until lunchtime and a "Waffle-Wich" was the answer.

I started out with 3 big strawberries and a small banana cut into slices.

Toasted up 2 Kashi Strawberry Flax Protein Waffles and topped them with freshly ground Organic Almond Butter from Whole Foods.

Added the strawberries on one half the and banana on the other half:

And this is what you end up with:

YUM! This was just like a fancy almond butter sandwich packed with protein, fruit, fiber and a little healthy fat. Oh, I should've used some organic unsweetened coconut too - oh well, next time! I snacked on the leftover fruit as well and hand some Decaf Cinnamon Hazelnut coffee (not pictured).

I am heading out the door and won't be back until after my run or walk depending on how my co-worker feels and lunch. See you all then.

Don't forget to vote in the BAKE SALE Poll for which item you want. There are only 3 days left!

  1. Hey I just found your blog through Meghann's. I LOVE your recipes and your story! And I'm always happy to see a fellow CA blogger :-)

    My main problem with the waffle-sandwhich is I feel like I'd wolf it down in 2.5 seconds and I need to take more time to eat to feel satisfied. Your creation does looks great, however.

  2. Hi Hallie ~ Thanks for stopping by and for the nice comment. I am so excited to see a fellow CA blogger too. I am going to make it a point to check out your site as well.

    I have to make it a point to each my wafflewich slowly and set it down between bites to make it last longer. It does stick with you for awhile due to protein & fiber & almond butter.

  3. That's a great idea - I will have to try strawberries with bananas next time! :)

  4. Sarah ~ It's one of my favorite combos. I do it with toast too. I personally think it tastes so much better than jam/preservers or what not.
