Ingredients for Egg-Free Waffles:

• 1 banana
• Scoop (25g) protein powder

• 250ml almond milk
• 1 tbsp peanut butter
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Toppings: cottage cheese, teff protein muesli, puffed teff, strawberry & almond paste

Vegan option: Opt for vegan protein powder and a plant-based yogurt alternative to cottage cheese.
