ACTIVATED NUTRIENTS RED VELVET PROTEIN WAFFLES // RECIPE BY AMY LEE ACTIVE

by Jo Power |

Red Velvet Waffles that are actually good for you, and all natural colouring from beetroot powder (no sugary, syrupy, artificial pre-made mixes here)!

Packed with fibre, protein and healthy fats, these waffles make a nutritious start to the day, but also a delicious sweet treat. Drizzled with moreish vegan Cream ‘Cheese’ Glaze, this is a recipe you’ll be making over and over again.

I use the Vegan and Organic Raw Cacao Protein from Activated Nutrients, which gives these waffles a rich, chocolatey flavour.
