On Food Fridays I will tell you about everything I ate that day. No matter if it is a good day or not: you will see it all.

The day before Friday was a really long day: I got up at 6 AM and to bed at 3 AM, so 21 hours up and going. I had 3 meals instead of my usual two and the last one was BIG and at 10 PM. So I wasn’t really hungry this morning and ate my first meal around lunchtime.

 

1st meal: 1.30 PM

  • 130 g of frozen spinach

  • 130 g of frozen cauliflower

  • 65 g of cream

  • 25 g of butter

  • 30 g of cheese

  •  175 g of leftover roast chicken leg

 

2nd meal: 6.30 PM

  • 50 g of sunflower seeds

  • 180 g of raw cabbage (not on the picture)

  • 20 g of butter (not on the picture)

 

Nutrition facts

 
 

In total too low on calories but I think it has a lot to do with eating A LOT yesterday. I’ve noticed that before as well: eat too much one day, feel not that hungry the next. Macronutrient ratios are good and net carbs are just under 20 grams. A good day in general.

Next Food Friday in a week!

Chocolate protein low carb waffles

Published on by Margit2 kommentaari

An improved version of my protein waffles. Still grain-free, sugar-free and dairy-free. Makes 2,5 normal sized waffles of 2 big waffles.

 

 

What do you need?

  • 25 grams of protein powder

  • 2 eggs

  • 10 grams of oil or melted butter

  • 5 grams of dark cocoa powder (could be omitted if making a vanilla version)

  • 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder

  • water 

  • sweetener

  • cinnamon, pumpkin spice or gingerbread spice (optional)

  • vanilla or almond or orange extract (optional)

 

How to make them?

Get your waffle maker preheating at high heat.

Whisk up your eggs well. Add protein powder and mix really well until there are no lumps. Now add in cocoa powder, baking powder and the oil or melted butter (and also the extracts or seasonings you might want). Mix well. Start adding water teaspoon at a time until you have a normal waffle/pancake bater consistency. Taste the bater: if it needs to be sweeter, add some sweetener to your taste.

Pour some bater (about) into your waffle maker and cook until crispy and cooked, it really depends on what kind of waffle maker you are using. You can get 2 thicker waffles or 2,5 thinner waffles from this recipe.

 

Serve as is, with melted chocolate, berries, nuts, whipped cream, nut butter, ricotta cream, cream cheese or whatever else you can imagine.

Enjoy!
